An abbreviated port of Capybara's finder methods, reimplemented as custom Cypress commands.
npm install -D cypress-capybara
Then, in your cypress/support/commands.js file, add:
import 'cypress-capybara/add-commands'
Here are the commands cypress-capybara implements. As with Capybara proper, they specify pretty liberal search functions, allowing locators to specify interactive elements by label, display text, name, id, value, title, and so on (depending on the element type).
cy.findLink(locator, options)(see:find_link)cy.findField(locator, options)(see:find_field)cy.findButton(locator, options)(see:find_button)
To see these in action, check out the library's test file.
The library will only port functions which can be reasonably deemed as
worthwhile apart from the features provided by Cypress's built-in API–which is
pretty robust, out of the box! Not only do many commands roughly mirror those in
Capybara (e.g. cy.get() is essentially the same as find() or all(),
whereas visit is even named the same thing in both libraries), but the
chaining style used for Cypress enables a lot of the sort of operations that
required separate methods, options, and blocks in Capybara.
Want to fill in a field? Just do findField('Some Label').type('some text').
If this library were to implement fillIn('Some Label', {with: 'some text'}),
it would simply be redundant and, more importantly, it would prevent users from
using the chaining API to do something like an intermediary filter() operation
between finding matching fields and then invoking type().
