Get Started

Let's start by running basic sorry-cypress configuration:

docker run agoldis/sorry-cypress-director

We've just launched director service on http://localhost:1234 - this service coordinates cypress agents and enables free parallelization.

Re-configuring cypress agent

We need to override cypress agents configuration to start using the local director service:

# Let's find cypress runner location
DEBUG=cypress:* cypress version
​
# Examine the output, note the path
"cypress:cli Reading binary package.json from: /Users/agoldis/Library/Caches/Cypress/6.2.1/Cypress.app/Contents/Resources/app/package.json +0ms"
​
# Now let's override cypress agent configuration
vim /Users/agoldis/Library/Caches/Cypress/6.2.1/Cypress.app/Contents/Resources/app/packages/server/config/app.yml
production:
  # api_url: "https://api.cypress.io/"
  api_url: "http://localhost:1234/"

Running cypress tests in parallel

Let's open several terminal windows and run cypress in each. Make sure you have cypress tests defined in advance (clone https://github.com/agoldis/sorry-cypress-demo.git if you don't have any test handy).

# run in each terminal
cypress run --parallel --record --key somekey --ci-build-id hello-cypress

You'll notice that different instances of cypress agent are running different tests.

🎉 We've just finished the basic setup of sorry-cypress and ran our tests in parallel!
