Plugin Setup (Cypress 10 and above)

sauce-cypress-plugin is configurable through your cypress config file, e.g. cypress.config.{js, cjs, mjs,ts}.

Example cypress.config.cjs:

const { defineConfig } = require("cypress");

module.exports = defineConfig({
  e2e: {
    setupNodeEvents(on, config) {
      require("@saucelabs/cypress-plugin").default(on, config, {
        region: "us-west-1",
        build: "myBuild",
        tags: ["example1"],
      });
      return config;
    },
  },
});

Example cypress.config.mjs:

import { defineConfig } from "cypress";
import reporter from "@saucelabs/cypress-plugin";

export default defineConfig({
  e2e: {
    setupNodeEvents(on, config) {
      reporter.default(on, config, {
        region: "us-west-1",
        build: "myBuild",
        tags: ["example1"],
      });
      return config;
    },
  },
});

Example cypress.config.ts:

import { defineConfig } from "cypress";
import Reporter, { Region } from "@saucelabs/cypress-plugin";

export default defineConfig({
  e2e: {
    setupNodeEvents(on, config) {
      Reporter(on, config, {
        region: Region.USWest1, // us-west-1 is the default
        build: "myBuild",
        tags: ["example1"],
      });
      return config;
    },
  },
});

Plugin Setup (Cypress 9 and below)

module.exports = (on, config) => {
  // Other plugins you may already have.
  // ...
  require("@saucelabs/cypress-plugin").default(on, config, {
    region: "us-west-1",
    build: "myBuild",
    tags: ["example1"],
  });
  return config;
};

Upload Assets Task

This task allows you to upload assets (such as images or logs) to a specific Sauce Labs job associated with the test spec.

Parameter	Type	Description
`spec`	`string`	Path to the spec file being executed, typically provided by `__filename`.
`assets`	`Asset` \| `Asset[]`	Can be a single `Asset` object or an array of `Asset` objects to be uploaded to Sauce Labs. Each `Asset` should contain a `filename` and either a `path` or `data`.
`assets[].path`	`string`	Required. Path to the file on the local filesystem (e.g., `"pics/this-is-fine.png"`).
`assets[].filename`	`string`	Optional. The name of the file to upload, as it should appear in Sauce Labs (e.g., `"this-is-fine.png"`). If not provided, the file path basename is used by default.

Example Usage

it("upload assets", () => {
  // Single file upload.
  cy.task("sauce:uploadAssets", {
    spec: __filename,
    assets: { path: "pics/this-is-fine.png" },
  });

  // Multiple files upload.
  cy.task("sauce:uploadAssets", {
    spec: __filename,
    assets: [
      { path: "pics/this-is-fine.png" },
      { path: "test.txt", filename: "test.log" },
    ],
  });
});
