Cypress-metamask-plugin NPM

Cypress MetaMask

Interacting with you MetaMask made "easy". (Depending on how you define "easy" of course...)

This plugin is based on the solutions brought by Jakub Mucha - drptbl in Synpress, but with a more stripped down and (this is opinionated) simpler approach. The goal is to build a fairly straight forward solution that you can integrate into your own testing (end-to-end) flow.

Forked from - Synpress

Setup

Note: This plugin is in development mode. You might encounter bugs and you will have to tweak your implementation a bit before you get it to work. But it is worth your effort in my opinon. Being able to run automated tests of your application is a good thing. ;-)

Install the package using yarn or npm:

$ yarn add -D cypress-metamask-plugin
// or
$ npm i -D cypress-metamask-plugin

Import the plugin in cypress/support/index.js

// Import commands.js using ES2015 syntax:
import './commands';
import "cypress-metamask-plugin/support/commands";

Modify your cypress/plugins/index.js to include the plugin:

module.exports = (on, config) => {
  require("cypress-metamask-plugin/plugins")(on, config);
};

Add an .env file to your project root:

You can use the Cypress environment logic to have the variables to test the application.

For CI CD you can use the CYPRESS_VARIABLE logic.

These settings are for a Hardhat development environment. You will need to tweak those setting depending on the enviroment you use.

SECRET_WORDS="test test test test test test test test test test test junk"
PASSWORD=TestMetaMask
METAMASK_VERSION=latest
NETWORK_NAME=localhost
RPC_URL=http://127.0.0.1:8545/

Add these scripts to your package.json (or modify your existing scripts):

"cy:open": "CYPRESS_REMOTE_DEBUGGING_PORT=9222 cypress open"

You should be ready to go.

Example

There is a small html/javascript (src/index.html) example that requires you to run a local chain to work. It uses the connected wallet to display its address and balance.

Once you have configured your setup and if you spin up a local chain, start a server and run your tests, you should be able to have the test pass.

Step-by-step

Start your local chain
Start a local web server (yarn start) and navitate to http://localhost:3473
Run Cypress (yarn cy:open)

describe('User can load page', () => {
  before(() => {
    cy.setupMetamask();
    cy.changeMetamaskNetwork('localhost');
    cy.visit('/');
  });
  it('is expected to display a sussess message', () => {
    cy.get('[data-cy=title]').should('contain.text', 'MetaMask Detected');
  });

  it('is expected to display the local wallet address', () => {
    cy.get('[data-cy=address').should(
      'contain.text',
      'Your address is: 0xf39fd6e51aad88f6f4ce6ab8827279cfffb92266',
    );
  });

  it('is expected to display the local wallet  balance', () => {
    cy.get('[data-cy=balance').should(
      'contain.text',
      'Balance: 10000000000000000000000',
    );
  });
});
