Example of Cypress with BDD framework

Here's an example of how you can use Cypress with a BDD (Behavior-Driven Development) framework like Cucumber.js:

1. Set up your project:

  • Create a new directory for your Cypress tests and navigate to it.
  • Initialize a new npm project: npm init -y
  • Install Cypress: npm install cypress
  • Install Cucumber.js: npm install cucumber

2. Create the required files and folders:

  • Create a new folder called cypress/integration to store your feature files.
  • Inside the integration folder, create a new feature file (e.g., example.feature) and define your BDD scenarios using Gherkin syntax.

3. Write the feature file:

  • Open example.feature and define your BDD scenarios using Gherkin syntax. 
        For Example,


4. Create step definitions:
  • Inside the cypress/integration folder, create a new JavaScript file (e.g., example.steps.js) to define the step definitions for your scenarios.
  • In example.steps.js, import the required Cypress commands and Cucumber's Given, When, and Then functions.
  • Define the step definitions that match the steps in your feature file.

 5. Run the tests:
  • Open the Cypress Test Runner by running npx cypress open.
  • The Cypress Test Runner will open, showing your feature file (example.feature).
  • Click on the feature file to run the tests.

Cypress will execute the steps defined in your feature file using the step definitions you provided. It provides an interactive Test Runner where you can see the execution and results of your tests.
