Cypress Weather API & UI automation project

This project contains Cypress tests for the WeatherAPI service, including API and UI tests on the WeatherAPI Explorer.

Setup

• Run npm i if cloned from GitHub repository.

Running tests with one click

1. Run tests by running run-tests scripts in package.json.
   Cypress will run the tests in cypress 'run' mode.

• Run in headless mode to review results in terminal only.
• Run in headed mode to also see the test running in the browser (browser will close after each file tests have completed).

For a better test review experience with tons of benefits, open the Cypress app & run tests from there in cypress 'open' mode.

Running tests with Cypress in 'open' mode (5 clicks)

1. Run the open-cypress script in package.json.
2. The Cypress app will open (will ask for network discoverability permissions).
3. Choose 'E2E Testing'.
4. Choose Browser - special cypress browser will open.
5. Choose tests file to run - API or Web UI test files.

Cypress Key Features

• Cypress runs inside the browser - giving it direct access, unlike other tools which interact with the browser using a middleware driver. This means Cypress can fire & listen to events directly.

• Cypress Time Machine - Examine test execution step by step.

• Logs, Screenshots & Videos - Easily debug with helpful Cypress logs, screenshots & videos taken on test failure.

Troubleshooting

1. Expired API Key - Generate a new API key & replace in cypress.env.json.
