typescript-cypress v1.0.5

What is this

Cypress needs a plugin to process or transpile TypeScript and then it read the tests from this bundle. With TypeScript, testing is a bit more predictable.

IMPORTANT!!!

This plugin works only with webpack and is tested with the version of webpack 4.41.5 The plugin creates a temporal folder with the name "tests_build" inside the cypress folder. After you close the browser the folder will be deleted.

Instalation

npm i typescript-cypress -D

Use

In the file cypres/plugins/index.js

const { typescriptCypressTranspiler } = require('typescript-cypress')

const _module = {
  rules: [
    {

      use: [
        {
          loader: 'babel-loader',
          options: {
            presets: [
              ['@babel/preset-env'],
              '@babel/preset-typescript',
              ['@babel/preset-react', { development: true }]
