How to use extractSubjectFromPfx method in Cypress

You can issue a new cy.wrap command with a value null and calling your async function in the .then function. Cypress will resolve that async function automatically and then move on to the next test.

First, you should convert your sshToServer method to an async(promise) function:

sshToServer() {
  console.log('Connecting');
  return new Promise((resolve) => {
    setTimeout(() => {
      console.log('Connected');
      resolve();
    }, 5000);
  });
}

Then, in your spec:

it('SSH to server', { defaultCommandTimeout: 5000 }, () => {
  cy.wrap(null).then(() => headerPage.sshToServer());
});

Note that I have also used a bigger for the spec defaultCommandTimeout since the default timeout is 4 seconds which is shorter than your sshToServer method and would cause the test to fail if not using a bigger timeout.

So as per cypress docs support/index.js is run every time before each spec file is run, so my above approach is not valid because with every run a new value would be generated. So the next approach I followed was to write the values in the fixtures/data.json file on the first test and use it throughout the tests. This way with every run a new set of values would be generated and saved in the fixture file and then the same value would be used throughout the test suite for that Test Run. Below is the way how I wrote to fixtures/data.json file:

    const UniqueNumber = `${Math.floor(Math.random() * 10000000000000)}`

    cy.readFile("cypress/fixtures/data.json", (err, data) => {
        if (err) {
            return console.error(err);
        };
    }).then((data) => {
        data.username = UniqueNumber
        cy.writeFile("cypress/fixtures/data.json", JSON.stringify(data))
    })
})

I think this code could help you:

add to commands:

Cypress.Commands.add("paste", { prevSubject: true }, (selector, pastePayload) => {
  // https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Element/paste_event
  cy.wrap(selector).then($destination => {
    const pasteEvent = Object.assign(new Event("paste", { bubbles: true, cancelable: true }), {
      clipboardData: {
        getData: () => pastePayload
      }
    });
    $destination[0].dispatchEvent(pasteEvent);
  });
});

usage:

cy.getByTestId("some-input-test-id").paste('some text');

The main difference between this and other examples from the internet is that your plugin could have problems catching what was "really" paste. So ie callback onItemsPaste in blueprint would not catch anything. Original version.

I assume that inside the cy.log($(this).... you might still need to add cy.log(Cypress.$(this)... in order to use the jquery in Cypress. I haven't tried yet, but its worth to give a try.

Cypress.$(java).each(function() {
            cy.log(Cypress.$(this).find("configuration>property>name").text())
        })

I was given the answer by someone in a gitter chatroom:

describe('My Login Test', function (){
it('Visit Risk App Landing Page', function (){
    cy.visit('https://bvt-riskassessment.lmkcloud.net')
    cy.get('button').click()
    cy.get('a.auth0-lock-alternative-link').contains('Not your account?').click()
    cy.fixture('loginUser').as('myUserFixture');
    cy.get('@myUserFixture').then(user => {
    cy.get('input.auth0-lock-input').first().type(user.email);
    cy.get('input.auth0-lock-input').last().type(user.password);
    cy.get('button').click()
    cy.url().should('eq','https://bvt-riskassessment.lmkcloud.net/workflow')

I can now login using this without having the username or password in every test scenario.

By default, Cypress plugins file is run in the Node that's bundled alongside with Cypress's Electron app.

Youcan work around this in two ways:

1. Auto-compile files imported into the plugins file, by using @babel/register plugin. Remember, this workaround won't work for the plugins file itself.

   First, install it:

   npm install -D @babel/register @babel/plugin-proposal-object-rest-spread
   

   Then, on top of your plugins/index.js, do (babel@7):

   require("@babel/register")({
       plugins: [ "@babel/plugin-proposal-object-rest-spread" ]
   });
   

   https://babeljs.io/docs/en/next/babel-register.html

2. Run the plugins file using your system's Node executable.

   Cypress allows you to set nodeVersion configuration, which controls this behavior.

   E.g., set in cypress.json:

   {
       "nodeVersion": "system"
   }
   

   Note: this of course works only if your system's Node already supports that feature.

Using invoke('val') instead of invoke('text') worked for my case.

Reminder of the html tag

<input type="text" class="form-control" name="email">

Cypress code

cy.get('input[name="email"]')
  .invoke('val')
  .then(sometext => cy.log(sometext));

Thank you for the detailed description! I provide you a solution for your very first question

I'm trying to find out if I'm able to conditionally skip a test it() in my test suite and deal with its async nature as well.

Use an environment variable, I report you a solution of mine (actually using in my pipeline).

if (!Cypress.env("SKIP_E2E_TESTS")) {
  it(...);
}

and in my package.json file I have a script that looks like this

"test": "CYPRESS_SKIP_E2E_TESTS=true npm-run-all --parallel --silent test:unit test:cypress",

My goal was the same as yours, I'd like to disable some tests in some circumstances (the CI pipeline in my case).

So put the whole test into a condition instead of having a conditional test.

Let me know if you need some more help ????

I see your problem, and I'm not sure why your "fix" worked, haha.

You need to start the cy.intercept() before the click, like this:

cy.intercept('**/pragma**').as('getPragmaDocuments');
cy.get('[data-test=invoices]').click();
cy.wait('@getPragmaDocuments');
