Artifacts in CI

[SimonasB88]

Hey guys,

wanted to ask, if there is possible to configure the Actions for CI test like that and succeed the test execution:

1. Downloading the artifact (after the PR) to “cypress/fixtures” path
2. Uploading the artifact into the application using the Cypress file upload plugin

Thank you!

Can you provide more explanation, please? What artifacts? Download after PR? Do you mean recording test results and videos and screenshots to Cypress Dashboard and then getting them back?

[SimonasB88]

Hey @bahmutov thank you for your answer!

I mean, there is a Payment plugin that must be tested in production server. Every time in PR there is a job workflow:

Then job is uploading the artifact to "fixtures" path in the Github

And then, I would like to upload that artifact to the production server, in this case it is plugin .zip, and to run the test in pipeline on production server.
Cypress File Upload works ok for that, but the test can't get that uploaded artifact in "fixtures" folder.

Is it possible to test like that?

Thanks!

I’m still very confused by what you are trying to do. Are you trying to upload a file during cypress test?

@bahmutov yes, upload plugin .zip file, into the ecommerce platform, but I am trying to do this on pipeline.

Looking forward to hearing from you!

[bahmutov]

Can you show the spec file that you have so far and show screenshots of what happens?

@bahmutov hey! Thanks for your questions, sorry, if some misunderstandings are appearing, I am not so experienced so far.
I am trying to make automated steps, that once the developer makes PR, the Github Actions artifact (it becomes plugin zip) is being uploaded to the ecommerce for testing.

Yes, if I place zip, to the fixtures folder in repo, that is ok, the zip uploads to the ecommerce

Regarding the https://github.com/abramenal/cypress-file-upload - I didn't provide the correct path to fixtures folder maybe?
How can I correct the code?

cy.get('#subtab-AdminParentModulesSf > :nth-child(1)').click()
      cy.get('#subtab-AdminModulesSf > .link').click()
      cy.get('#page-header-desc-configuration-add_module').click()
      cy.get('.module-import-start').attachFile('fixture.zip', { subjectType: 'drag-n-drop' }).wait(15000)
      cy.get('.module-import-success-msg').should('be.visible').as('Module installed!')

I am so thankful for your suggestions.

Best Regards.

Can you set up a public repo with the GitHub workflow file showing the problem? Have you checked if the files are present before the Cypress test run?

[SimonasB88]

@bahmutov
Today checked the night test run with fake "fixture.zip", the pipeline succeeded:

And file in repo:

I am very sorry, I will have to make another repo then, because due to privacy of the company, I can not do this now... I will try to do another public repo.
Wondering, if you had some examples of testing the github artifact, that becomes a ecommerce plugin zip?

Thanks!

[bahmutov]

I have examples of using the upload and download artifacts on GitHub, but no examples of uploading the zip in Cypress test. I would think this is a bad strategy, since you don't control the file. I would suggest using a zip file you have already in the fixtures folder as part of the repo. Also, I think the zip download is NOT downloading where you expect it to be, use ls command to print the downloaded file path.

I don't think to create a public repo with just this workflow is difficult, otherwise, I am suggesting things mindly.

@bahmutov Thanks Gleb for your suggestions, I guess lessons learned. I will use your suggestions. Thank you for your thoughts and for t-shirt also :)

Best Regards.
