Cypress Usage

describe('Hit an authenticated endpoint', () => {
    it('Should be able to get a response', async function () {
        cy.request('/users/me').then($response => {

            const token = await cy.task('generateToken', {
                privateKey: '/path/to/private.key',
                issuer:     'cypress-tester',
                algo:       'RS256',
                expires:    '1 day',
                claims:     {
                    capabilities: 'superuser'
                }
            });

            // use token in your requests
        });
    });
});

The Private Key

Due to the fact that this plugin runs on the Cypress Backend, the location of the private key file must be defined as either the full path on disk or relative path to the running of the cypress command. You can define the file location either with an environment variable which can apply to all tests:

config.env.jwtPrivateKey

or within each individial test using the options below. In addition, you can also define the JWT algorithm if different from the default RS256 with:

config.env.jwtAlgo
