A plugin that allows to transform regular strings into their [pseudo-localized](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pseudolocalization) variant. It's a wrapper around a small fork of https://github.com/tryggvigy/pseudo-localization.
npm install cypress-pseudo-localizationA plugin that allows to transform regular strings into their pseudo-localized variant. It's a wrapper around a small fork of https://github.com/tryggvigy/pseudo-localization.
We highly recommend using this plugin in addition to a visual regression testing tool.
!A pseudo localized Cypress test showing the variant
``sh
$ yarn add cypress-pseudo-localization
$ npm i --save cypress-pseudo-localization
`
Inside the cypress/support/commands.js file, add the following at the top:
`js`
import "cypress-pseudo-localization";
And then, in your cypress tests:
`js
beforeEach(() => {
cy.visit("https://your-page-some-where.com/");
cy.pseudoLocalize();
});
// Make sure to cleanup to localization after the tests
// Needed, because there's a mutation observer used under the hood
afterEach(cy.stopPseudoLocalize);
