Cypress Component Testing for Stencil

Cypress component testing which leverages Stencil's JSX ⚡

Getting started

  1. Install this package by running the following in your Stencil project;

    • npm install -D cypress-ct-stencil vite@4.5.2
  2. If not installed, install cypress:

    • npm install -D cypress
  3. Open Cypress:

    • npx cypress open

    • Select "Component Testing" and follow the onscreen instructions.

  4. Add cypress-ct-stencil to your cypress.config.ts;

    import { defineConfig } from 'cypress';
    import { defineConfig as defineConfigVite } from 'vite';
    
    ...
        devServer: {
          framework: 'cypress-ct-stencil-js' as any,
          bundler: 'vite',
          viteConfig: defineConfigVite({
            optimizeDeps: {
              exclude: ['./']
            }
          }),
        },
    ...
    
    
  5. Go to your component.ts file, usually located in cypress/support and add the following:

    import { mount } from 'cypress-ct-stencil'
    import { defineCustomElements } from '../../loader';
    Cypress.Commands.add('mount', mount);
    defineCustomElements();
    // Optional, only add if you have global styling
    // import '../../dist/project-name/project-name.css
    
  6. At the root of your cypress folder, add a tsconfig.json and add the following:

    {
        "extends": "../node_modules/cypress-ct-stencil/tsconfig.cypress.json"
    }
    

Options

The two options can be set in the mount function itself as second parameter, or you can set a global env variable that acts as a default value.

Property envVariable Default value Description
waitUntilVisible CtStencilWaitUntilVisible false Recursively waits for all children to be visible (useful for when you have many slotted elements and visual testing). Does not work for elements in the shadowRoot.
log CtStencilLog false Log when a node is about to mount

Usage in test

cy.mount(<my-component />, { waitUntilVisible: true, log: true });

Example

Example with Stencil and Cypress is located in the example directory of this repo.

To install, navigate to the example directory and run:

npm install

Then run a Stencil build:

npm run build

Finally, open Cypress by running:

npx cypress open

Usage

Typings

Since we installed Cypress in our Stencil directory, all typings are available in our .cy.tsx files: Typings image

Example usages

// MyComponent.cy.tsx
import { h } from '@stencil/core';

it('Should mount correctly', () => {
    cy.mount(<my-component first="John" last="Doe"></my-component>);
    cy.get('my-component').should('exist');
});

Styles

// MyComponent.cy.tsx
import { h } from '@stencil/core';

it('Should support inline styling', () => {
    cy.mount(<my-component first="John" last="Doe" style={{ backgroundColor: 'red', width: '300px', height: '300px' }} />);
    cy.get('my-component').should('have.css', 'background-color', 'rgb(255, 0, 0)').should('have.css', 'width', '300px').should('have.css', 'height', '300px');
});

Ref

// MyComponent.cy.tsx
import { h } from '@stencil/core';

it('Should support refs', () => {
    cy.mount(<my-component ref={(ref) => cy.get(ref as any).as('ref')} first="Test" last="Ref" />);
    cy.get('@ref').should('exist');
});

Events

// MyComponent.cy.tsx
import { h } from '@stencil/core';

it('Should capture events', () => {
    const spyObj = { foo(e) {} };
    cy.spy(spyObj, 'foo').as('customEventSpy');
    cy.mount(<my-component onCustomEvent={spyObj.foo} first="Test" last="Event" />);
    cy.get('my-component').shadow().find('div').click();

    cy.get('@customEventSpy').should('be.calledOnceWith');
});

Array

// MyComponent.cy.tsx
import { h } from '@stencil/core';

it('Should render multiple components via array', () => {
    cy.mount([<my-component first="firstFirst" last="firstLast"></my-component>, <my-component first="secondFirst" last="secondLast"></my-component>]);
    cy.get('my-component').should('have.length', 2);

    cy.get('my-component').first().invoke('prop', 'first').should('eq', 'firstFirst');
    cy.get('my-component').first().invoke('prop', 'last').should('eq', 'firstLast');

    cy.get('my-component').last().invoke('prop', 'first').should('eq', 'secondFirst');
    cy.get('my-component').last().invoke('prop', 'last').should('eq', 'secondLast');
});

Other elements:

// MyComponent.cy.tsx
import { h } from '@stencil/core';

it('Should mount any html element', () => {
    cy.mount(<p>This is a paragraph element!</p>);
    cy.get('p').should('have.text', 'This is a paragraph element!');
});

String (not recommended as you lose typings)

// MyComponent.cy.tsx
import { h } from '@stencil/core';

it('Should mount any html element with a string', () => {
    cy.mount(`<p>This is a paragraph element!</p>`);
    cy.get('p').should('have.text', 'This is a paragraph element!');
});
