Generate Cypress Tests from Chrome DevTools Recordings
npm install @cypress/chrome-recorder 
This repo provides tools to export Cypress Tests from Google Chrome DevTools' Recordings programmatically.
Install Cypress Chrome Recorder extension if you want to export the recordings directly from the Chrome DevTools' Recorder UI.

In order to export JSON files from Chrome DevTools Recorder you will need to be on Chrome 101 or newer.
dblClick and rightclick require Chrome 103 or newer.
``sh`
$ npm install -g @cypress/chrome-recorder
To use the interactive CLI, run:
`sh`
$ npx @cypress/chrome-recorder
The CLI will prompt you to enter the path of the directory or file that you would like to modify as well as a path to write the generated Cypress test to.
If you prefer to enter paths via the CLI, you can run the following command to export individual recordings:
`sh`
$ npx @cypress/chrome-recorder
or for folders containing multiple recordings:
`sh`
$ npx @cypress/chrome-recorder
By default the output will be written to cypress/integration with a fallback to cypress/e2e. If you do not have those folders, create them manually or install Cypress by running yarn add -D cypress or npm install --save-dev cypress in your project.
If you prefer a different output directory, specify that via CLI:
`sh`
$ npx @cypress/chrome-recorder
or via the interactive CLI prompts.
