Perform custom actions on Cypress test retry-CodePudding

I am using retries in my Cypress test. Every time a test is retried, I want to perform an action (e.g. log details about the failure in a file).

I thought the command:retry from the catalog of events might be useful, but I am not sure what does the parameter mean and how can I use it.

CodePudding user response：

There is a cyclope plugin that may be covering what you are wanting to do with test failures. This plugin includes a utilty function savePageIfTestFailed, which you can call in an afterEach() inside your support/index.js file.

CodePudding user response：

You may find command:retry is a bit too granular, try the on fail event.

Cypress.on('fail', (error, runnable) => {
  debugger
  
  // take a look at the parameters
  console.log('error', error.message)
  console.log('runnable', runnable)

  // for example
  let currentTest = runnable.ctx.currentTest
  let title = runnable.title

  throw error // throw error to have test still fail
})
