One way Cypress can expose an app's state to the test runner is by using the following approach in React:
class MyComponent extends React.Component {
constructor (props) {
super(props)
// only expose the app during E2E tests
if (window.Cypress) {
window.app = this
}
}
...
}
Subsequently, you could retrieve your state in a test with
cy.window()
.its('app.state')
.should('deep.equal', myStateObject)
However, the challenge arises when working with Remix projects that primarily rely on functional components. I attempted to implement this functionality in my root.tsx component utilizing a useEffect call:
export default function App() {
useEffect(() => {
window.app = App;
}, []}
}
I also experimented with incorporating the logic in the root route (routes/index.tsx) by importing the <App /> component and applying it within the useEffect function without success. With no clear solutions found in Remix's GitHub issues, I am at a loss for what to do next. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!
