The lambdatest-cypress-cli is LambdaTest's command-line interface (CLI) aimed to help you run your Cypress tests on LambdaTest platform.

You can run your first Cypress test on the LambdaTest platform in just 3 simple steps:

You can do install the LambdaTest-Cypress CLI with the help of npm, using the below command:

npm install -g lambdatest-cypress-cli

Before using this plugin, save the LambdaTest username and access key to environment variables LT_USERNAME and LT_ACCESS_KEY, as described inLambdaTest Documentation.

Once you have installed the LambdaTest-Cypress CLI, now you need to setup the configuration. You can do that using the below command:

# Create a sample LambdaTest Cypress configuration filelambdatest-cypress init

In this configuration file, setup:

• auth: Firstly you need to set up your LambdaTest credentials that will help you run your test on the Online Selenium Grid.
• browsers: Secondly, you need to set up the browser and OS combinations upon which you want the Cypress testing to be done. You can choose among the 2000+ browser and OS combinations that LambdaTest provides.
• run_settings: Lastly, you need to set the other desired capabilities of your Cypress test suite, which includes cypress_version, build_name, visual feedback settings, number of parallel sessions, etc.

Once you have the above two pre-requisites ready, you can execute your Cypress tests on the LambdaTest platform. To do so, you will need the following command:

lambdatest-cypress run

As soon as the tests starts executing, you can view them running. Just visit yourLambdaTest Automation Dashboard.

For each test, you can view the live video feed, screenshots for each test run, view console logs, terminal logs, and do much more using the LambdaTest platform.
