![Cypress logo](/shared/cypress-logo.png)
Cypress is a test runner built for the modern web. It has a lot of great features:
- Time travel
- Real-time reloads
- Automatic waiting
- Spies, stubs, and clocks
- Network traffic control
- Screenshots and videos
## Setting Up Cypress
> Info about [Cypress Component Testing can be found here](/cypress/cypress-component-testing)
If the `@nrwl/cypress` package is not installed, install the version that matches your `nx` package version.
```bash
yarn add --dev @nrwl/cypress
```
```bash
npm install --save-dev @nrwl/cypress
```
## E2E Testing
By default, when creating a new frontend application, Nx will use Cypress to create the e2e tests project.
```bash
nx g @nrwl/web:app frontend
```
### Creating a Cypress E2E project for an existing project
To generate an E2E project based on an existing project, run the following generator
```bash
nx g @nrwl/cypress:cypress-project your-app-name-e2e --project=your-app-name
```
Optionally, you can use the `--baseUrl` option if you don't want cypress plugin to serve `your-app-name`.
```bash
nx g @nrwl/cypress:cypress-project your-app-name-e2e --baseUrl=http://localhost:4200
```
Replace `your-app-name` with the app's name as defined in your `workspace.json` file.
### Testing Applications
Run `nx e2e frontend-e2e` to execute e2e tests with Cypress.
You can run your e2e test against a production build with the `--prod` flag
```bash
nx e2e frontend-e2e --prod
```
By default, Cypress will run in headless mode. You will have the result of all the tests and errors (if any) in your
terminal. Screenshots and videos will be accessible in `dist/apps/frontend/screenshots` and `dist/apps/frontend/videos`.
### Watching for Changes (Headed Mode)
With, `nx e2e frontend-e2e --watch` Cypress will start in headed mode where you can see your application being tested.
Running Cypress with `--watch` is a great way to enhance dev workflow - you can build up test files with the application
running and Cypress will re-run those tests as you enhance and add to the suite.
```bash
nx e2e frontend-e2e --prod
```
### Specifying a Custom Url to Test
The `baseUrl` property provides you the ability to test an application hosted on a specific domain.
```bash
nx e2e frontend-e2e --baseUrl=https://frontend.com
```
> If no `baseUrl` and no `devServerTarget` are provided, Cypress will expect to have the `baseUrl` property in
> the cypress config file, or will error.
## Using cypress.config.ts
If you need to fine tune your Cypress setup, you can do so by modifying `cypress.config.ts` in the project root. For
instance,
you can easily add your `projectId` to save all the screenshots and videos into your Cypress dashboard. The complete
configuration is documented
on [the official website](https://docs.cypress.io/guides/references/configuration.html#Options).
