// in your cypress/support/e2e.js
// or spec file
// https://github.com/bahmutov/cypress-failed-log
require('cypress-failed-log')
// you can use the "import" keyword
import "cypress-failed-log"// cypress.config.js
const { defineConfig } = require('cypress')
module.exports = defineConfig({
defaultCommandTimeout: 500,
e2e: {
setupNodeEvents(on, config) {
// https://github.com/bahmutov/cypress-failed-log
require('cypress-failed-log/on')(on)
},
},
})When Cypress runs, you will see commands including the failed one, right in the terminal
In addition, all failed commands will be saved into a JSON file. The saved JSON file will live in cypress/logs/ and have the following properties:
specName - filename of the spec
title - the name of the test
suiteName - the parent suite name
testName - full name of the test, including the suite name
testError - error message string
testCommands - array of strings, the last failing command is the last item
Here is the failed test JSON file contents. The test name, the failure and each test command before the test are recorded
{
"specName": "failing-spec.js",
"title": "loads the About tab",
"suiteName": "Website",
"testName": "Website loads the About tab",
"testError": "Timed out retrying: Expected to find content: 'Join Us' but never did.",
"testCommands": [
"visit",
"new url https://www.company.com/#/",
"contains a.nav-link, About",
"click",
"new url https://www.company.com/#/about",
"hash",
"assert expected **#/about** to equal **#/about**",
"contains Join Us",
"assert expected **body :not(script):contains(**'Join Us'**), [type='submit'][value~='Join Us']** to exist in the DOM"
]
}To turn on debug messages in the browser, open in Cypress browser DevTools console and enter localStorage.debug = 'cypress-failed-log', then reload the spec. You should see log messages.
