cypress-window-helper

v1.1.0

cypress-window-helper aims to switch and interact with pop-up windows opened within the UI.

This adds 3 custom commands that will help you catching pop-up and/or new tabs, interaction with them and switch back to the main window.

Future update might include new features such as closing the pop-up.

Installation

The package is distributed via [npm][npm] and should be installed as one of your project's devDependencies:

npm install --save-dev cypress-window-helper

Usage

cypress--window-helper extends Cypress' cy command. Add this line to your project's cypress/support/commands.js:

import 'cypress-window-helper'

Now you are ready to use the command. Here is a basic example:

//this custom command will stub the next 'open' call.
//The parameter is the name given to the window
 it('click button', () => {
      cy.StubAndSuscribeToNextWindow('inputWindow')
      cy.get("#button").click()
  })

//this custom command will switch to a co.
//1st parameter is the name previously given to the stubbed window
//2nd parameter is the ID waited for in the pop-up window (here #input)
  it('fill the new input', () => {
    cy.switchToWindowAndWaitForID('inputWindow', 'inputID')
    cy.get("#input").type('It works !')
})

it('fill the main input', () => {
//This custom command will switch back to the main window
    cy.switchToMainWindow()
    cy.get("#input").type('It works again ! ')
})

It isn't working!

This plugin has been made cause those features were critical to me.

I cannot guarantee it will work for all the pop-up and browser (tested in chrome), but I can try to improve it, just open an issue or a PR.
