Install

Add this plugin as your dev dependency

# install using NPM
$ npm i -D cypress-cdp
# or install using Yarn
$ yarn add -D cypress-cdp

Then import this plugin in your spec or support file

// https://github.com/bahmutov/cypress-cdp
import 'cypress-cdp'

Examples

Disable caching

Similar to clicking the checkbox "Disable cache" in the Network tab

import 'cypress-cdp'
cy.CDP('Network.setCacheDisabled', {
  cacheDisabled: true,
})

API

CDP

CDP example 1

const selector = 'button#one'
cy.CDP('Runtime.evaluate', {
  expression: 'frames[0].document.querySelector("' + selector + '")',
}).should((v) => {
  expect(v.result).to.have.property('objectId')
})

Tip: be careful with selectors, you probably will need to escape them. For example, this library uses this escape

const escapedSelector = JSON.stringify(selector)
cy.CDP('Runtime.evaluate', {
  expression: 'frames[0].document.querySelector(' + escapedSelector + ')',
})

hasEventListeners

hasEventListeners example

// any event listeners are attached
cy.hasEventListeners('button#one')
// "click" event listeners are attached
cy.hasEventListeners('button#one', { type: 'click' })

getCDPNodeId

Returns the internal element's Node Id that can be used to query the run-time properties, for example the rendered font.

cy.getCDPNodeId('body').then((nodeId) => {
  cy.CDP('CSS.getPlatformFontsForNode', {
    nodeId,
  })
})

Type definitions

Defined in src/index.d.ts and copied from the original PR 66237. If you want your project to "know" the cy.CDP command, include this dependency, for example:

{
  "types": ["cypress", "cypress-cdp"]
}
