Purpose

This project came about as essentially a fix to an issue I've been having on work projects. Cypress tests that are scattered across multiple test files all making calls to visit to navigate needed a way to easily add something like ?environment=test

This package aims to fix that problem, by overwriting the visit command and appending each parameter added to a Cypress env variable onto the end of the url prior to Cypress navigating.

Usage

To add a parameter, use cy.setParameter. All subsequent visit calls will honor the query parameter.

import 'cypress-url-parameters'

cy.setParameter('token', 'XXXXX')
cy.visit('https://example.cypress.io/');

If you need to update a parameter, simple use setParameter with the same parameter name and your new value.

To remove a parameter, use removeParameter

import 'cypress-url-parameters'

cy.setParameter('token', 'XXXXX');
cy.visit('https://example.cypress.io/');

cy.removeParameter('token');
cy.visit('https://example.cypress.io/');
