Cypress

Submit and collect your Cypress tests in Testiny to track results over time, identify frequently failing tests, efficiently debug and fix CI failures or flaky tests.

Generate Cypress Mochawesome JSON Reports​

Configure your Cypress test with the mochawesome reporter (or any another reporter, that outputs Mocha JSON files):

cypress.config.js
const { defineConfig } = require("cypress");

module.exports = defineConfig({
  reporter: 'mochawesome',
  reporterOptions: {
    overwrite: false // for mochawesome, generate a report for each spec file,
    reportDir: 'cypress/reports',
    html: false,
    json: true
  },
});

Run your Cypress tests with cypress run and the mochawesome reporter will create reports for each spec file in the specified reportDir folder (or if no folder is specified, by default in the mochawesome-report folder).

Import Results to Testiny​

Make sure you've generated an API key and use the Testiny CLI to import the results to Testiny:

export TESTINY_API_KEY=****
npx @testiny/cli automation --project ID_OR_KEY --source "e2e" --cypress cypress/reports/*.json e2e

In the above example, the environment variable TESTINY_API_KEY is set to authenticate the request. The --project flag specifies the target Testiny project using its ID or key and the --source flag categorizes the test results (e.g., frontend, backend, integration tests, ...). The --cypress flag specifies the format of the specified test result file(s).

Once executed, the Testiny CLI will automatically create a new automated test run in Testiny and import all results from the specified report(s).

note

The attachment path is by default cypress/screenshots and the Testiny CLI searches this directory and imports screenshots for failed tests found in this folder. Specify another relative base directory path with --attachment-path <FILE-PATH>.
