Looking for for fixture files within subdirectories inside cypress/fixtures

[mohsenny]

What would you like?

Currently fixture files (yml, json, etc) and fixture images (using cypress-file-upload module to test upload functionalities) should be directly inside the /fixtures directory, and creating directories inside /fixtures and placing the files there, would trigger an error that:

A fixture file could not be found at any of the following paths:

Having the fixture files directly under /fixtures causes no issues:

However having the under a subdirectory ( like: /fixtures/translations) causes the issue:

Why is this needed?

This is needed for better organizing fixtures files. Currently we have many fixtures files, from various translations, database seeding files to image files (for testing upload functionalities using cypress-file-upload module). At this moment all the files are mixed together inside /fixtures directory but ideally we would prefer to have separate sub directories like:

• fixtures
• fixtures/seed_files
• fixtures/images
• fixtures/translations
• ...

Development Setup

• cypress": "^5.6.0
• cypress-file-upload": "^5.0.2"
• node version: 15.3.0

I organize fixtures in folders and it works fine (cypress 5.6 & 6.4), maybe check your file path/name

cypress-file-upload is not maintained by cypress-io. that library seems to check inside fixtures/ by default

cy.get('[data-cy="file-input"]')
  .attachFile(['myfixture1.json', 'myfixture2.json']);

so maybe try passing it translations/es.json might work

@mcha-dev you're absolutely right. Sorry for the noise 😓
