Create session and handle chrome extensions in cypress step by step:

To create a session and handle Chrome extensions in Cypress, you can use the cy.task command to execute a JavaScript code in the context of the browser.

Here is an example of how you can handle Chrome extensions in Cypress:

// install the required extensions before the tests run
before(() => {
    cy.task('installExtension', {
        browser: 'chrome',
        extensionId: 'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz'
    });
});

// use the cy.task command to check if an extension is installed
it('has the required extension installed', () => {
    cy.task('isExtensionInstalled', {
        browser: 'chrome',
        extensionId: 'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz'
    }).then((installed) => {
        expect(installed).to.be.true;
    });
});

// use the cy.task command to check if an extension is enabled
it('has the required extension enabled', () => {
    cy.task('isExtensionEnabled', {
        browser: 'chrome',
        extensionId: 'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz'
    }).then((enabled) => {
        expect(enabled).to.be.true;
    });
});

// create a new session and handle extensions in Cypress
describe('Create a new session and handle extensions', () => {
    it('creates a new session', () => {
        cy.task('createSession', {
            browser: 'chrome',
            options: {
                args: [
                    '--disable-extensions-except=abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz',
                    '--load-extension=abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz'
                ]
            }
        });
    });

    // run tests against the new session
    it('can load a page', () => {
        cy.visit('https://www.google.com');
        cy.contains('Google');
    });
});

In this example, the cy.task command is used to install the required extension before the tests run, check if the extension is installed and enabled, create a new session with the necessary options, and run tests against the new session. Note that you’ll need to define the actual tasks in the plugins file.
