cypress-example-api-testing

The dg_working_from_start branch on my fork contains my completed set of tests following Glen's lesson on the blog post mentioned below.

Cypress E2E runner can also test Rest and other APIs

See related blog post Add GUI to your E2E API tests

Use

Install dependencies with npm install or npm ci

See scripts in package.json to start the local API server and run the tests. The main ones are

• npm start - runs the local API server
• npm run cy:open - runs Cypress in GUI mode
• npm test - starts the local API server and runs Cypress tests against it in headless mode
