How to Write a YAML File for Jenkins to Execute the Cypress Test Scripts

Cypress is a powerful end-to-end testing framework that can be used to test web applications. Jenkins is a popular continuous integration (CI) server that can be used to automate the execution of test scripts. In this blog post, we will show you how to write a YAML file for Jenkins to execute the Cypress  test scripts.

Prerequisites

To follow this tutorial, you will need the following:

• A Jenkins server
• The Cypress  test scripts
• A YAML file editor

Step 1: Create a YAML File

First, create a YAML file for Jenkins to execute the Cypress  test scripts. The following is an example of a YAML file that you can use:

---
name: Cypress Test

stages:
  - stage: Setup
    init:
      steps:
        - shell: |
            export PATH=$PATH:$HOME/.nvm/versions/node/v16.13.2/bin
            npm install -g cypress
        - shell: |
            cypress install

  - stage: Test
    script:
      - shell: |
            cypress run

  - stage: Results
    post:
      always:
        - shell: |
            cypress open

Step 2: Save the YAML File

Save the YAML file in your Jenkins workspace. The name of the file does not matter, but it is a good idea to use a name that describes the purpose of the file.

Step 3: Create a New Job in Jenkins

In Jenkins, create a new job and select the “Pipeline” project type. In the “Pipeline script” section, paste the contents of the YAML file that you created in Step 2.

Step 4: Save the Job and Run It

Save the job and click “Build Now” to run the test suite. Jenkins will build the job and execute the test scripts. The results of the test run will be displayed in the Jenkins dashboard.
