I’ve just started using Cypress with my React Typescript project. I’ve gotten some simple tests to run:

describe('settings page', () => {
  beforeEach(() => {
    cy.visit('http://localhost:3000')
  });
  it('starts in a waiting state, with no settings.', () => {
    cy.contains('Waiting for settings...')
  });
  it('shows settings once settings are received', () => {
    const state = cy.window().its('store').invoke('getState')
    console.log(state) // different question: how do I get this to be the state and not a $Chainer?
  });
})

It runs in Cypress just fine. But I get Typescript errors in Webstorm, saying that cy is not defined (a TS and ESlint error) and an error on describe saying all files must be modules when the --isolatedModules flag is provided.

I can make it a JS file instead of a TS file, then I still get cy is not defined.

I’ve tried import cy from 'cypress' but then I get ParseError: 'import' and 'export' may appear only with 'sourceType: module' which is a whole other can of worms (I’m taking baby steps in writing my tests and haven’t had to import anything yet…)

/// <reference types="cypress" /> does not work.
