cypress-cy-select

data-cy shorthand notation for cypress get and find functions

Install

npm i --save-dev cypress-cy-select

Usage

In support/commands.js or support/index.js:

import setup from 'cypress-cy-select';
setup();

Use cy.get as you would normally use it, but you can now select data-cy with a shorthand notation: cy|mySelector

This:

cy.get("cy|mySelector .myClass1 > .myClass2 tagName")

will be actually formatted to:

cy.get('[data-cy="mySelector"] .myClass1 > .myClass2 tagName')

Alternatively, if you don't want the defaults, you can pass a configuration object:

const config = {
  name: 'e2e',
  separator: ':'
}
setup(config);

This:

cy.get("e2e:mySelector .myClass1 > .myClass2 tagName")

will be actually formatted to:

cy.get('[data-e2e="mySelector"] .myClass1 > .myClass2 tagName')
