This is a follow-up to my last post concerning installing Cypress in an C8Y project.
I have installed an earlier version of Cypress and can run end-to-end tests in my application. Now, I want to move on to component testing.
However, when I open the Cypress window with the cypress open command, then select the option to configure component testing, it asks me to select from a list of front-end frameworks.
Naturally, I selected Angular, but on the next page they ask me to install some of the core packages for vanilla angular that I know I can’t use when developing with the C8Y CLI.
Cypress component testing does currently not really work with Cumulocity WebSDK projects based on @c8y/cli. There may be some workaround by introducing an angular.json file into your project, but this is nothing that we support/give you guidelines for.
We are currently working on deprecating the @c8y/cli and switching/extending the angular cli. Once this is done, component testing should be possible just like with a standard angular project.
