Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

Readme

@datashard/snapshot

Adds JSON Snapshot comparison to Cypress

⚠️ Breaking Changes ⚠️

  • With V3, the readFileMaybe task has been removed, we now rely on cy.fixture internally.
  • the previous SNAPSHOT_UPDATE Environment/Config Variable has been changed to updateSnapshots

[!DANGER] This means that previous tests will likely be broken, please make sure that your tests pass before updating to the latest version of this Plugin.

This current release will be released as 3.0.0-beta, should Bugs be found by me or my Employer, I will open Issues/PRs to fix those, should anyone else find Bugs/Edgecases, etc. please open an Issue.

Install

Requires Node 16 or above

npm i --save-dev @datashard/snapshot

Import

After Installing, you'll need to add the following import into your Commands/Support File

by default this will be cypress/support/e2e.js

require('@datashard/snapshot').regsiter()

This will register a new Command .snapshot(), to create and compare JSON Snapshots.

Config

You can pass updateSnapshots and useFolders as options in the cypress.config.js file

Example Settings for the Module Alternatively, you can also add snapshotUpdate as an Environment Variable to update your snapshots.

Simply pass --env updateSnapshots=true when running Cypress.

Usage

If properly added, usage of this plugin is rather simple, just add .snapshot() to cypress functions that return valid JSON. (i.e. cy.wrap)

When properly added, you can chain .snapshot() off of cy functions like cy.wrap, just make sure they return valid JSON.

Example

describe("my test", () => {
  it("works", () => {
    cy.log("first snapshot");
    cy.wrap({ foo: 42 }).snapshot("foo");
    cy.log("second snapshot");
    cy.wrap({ bar: 101 }).snapshot("bar");
  });
});

This Plugin will then save your snapshots as

// useFolders: false
cypress/fixtures/my-test__works__foo.json
cypress/fixtures/my-test__works__bar.json

// useFolders: true
cypress/fixtures/my-test/works/foo.json
cypress/fixtures/my-test/works/bar.json

// {fixtureFolder}/<Context>-<Describe>-<It>-<Name?>.json
// {fixtureFolder}/<Context>/<Describe>/<It>/<Name?>.json

Snapshots will generally be saved using this the Convention mentioned in the Comment of the above Codeblock, which is provided by the named Cypress Test Steps.

Passing a name to the Snapshot function is required, but not checked, if you want to take multiple snapshots in the same block.

If you have two or more Snapshots in the same Block, the next one WILL always overwrite the previous one while updating, causing the First Snapshot in the Block to Fail. While running your Tests, if a value changed, it will, of course, no longer match the snapshot and throw an Error.

Which will look like this:

When the Test succeeds, it will instead log a Success in the Log and let you know where the File has been saved to, relative to the Fixture Snapshot Folder
