Allow Cypress `it` blocks to run in a random order
npm install cypress-random-test-order[![NPM][npm-icon]][npm-url]
Cypress.io plugin to allow tests to be ran in random order.
When using this plugin the it blocks within a test will be ran in a random order (rather than the usual top -> bottom)
Heavily based on cypress-select-tests by @bahmutov
Assuming Cypress has been installed:
``shell`
npm install --save-dev cypress-random-test-order
Add the following to your cypess/plugins/index.js file:
`js`
const randomiseTests = require('cypress-random-test-order/randomise')
module.exports = (on, config) => {
on('file:preprocessor', randomiseTests(config))
}
- this package assumes JavaScript specs
- this package might conflict and/or overwrite other Cypress Browserify preprocessor settings
Run Cypress tests as normal but pass in random=true as an environment variable.
`shell`
npx cypress run --env random=true
Can also be used with the Cypress test runner.
`shell`
npx cypress open --env random=true
- Will randomise the order of the it blocks within a context block, the context blocks themselves will stay in the same ordercontext
- Only works with multiple blocks, not multiple describe blocks (only the outer most block can be a describe)it` blocks within a spec file will be randomised, the spec files themselves will still run in alphabetical order
