Installing Sorry Cypress on EndeavourOS

Sorry Cypress is an open-source tool that provides an alternative and more flexible way to run Cypress tests, which is a JavaScript-based end-to-end testing framework. In this tutorial, you will learn how to install Sorry Cypress on EndeavourOS, which is an Arch Linux-based operating system.

Prerequisites

Before you begin, make sure that you have the following:

  • A working installation of EndeavourOS.
  • Access to Terminal or Command Line Interface (CLI).
  • Node.js version 12 or higher installed on your system.

Steps

The following are the steps you need to follow to install Sorry Cypress on EndeavourOS:

Step 1: Install Docker

Sorry Cypress requires you to have Docker installed and running on your system. You can install Docker by running the following command in the terminal:

sudo pacman -S docker

Then start and enable Docker on boot with the following commands:

sudo systemctl start docker
sudo systemctl enable docker

Step 2: Install Sorry Cypress

To install Sorry Cypress, you need to use Node.js's package manager (npm). You can install it by running the following command in the terminal:

npm install -g sorry-cypress

Step 3: Configure Sorry Cypress

Sorry Cypress needs to be configured before you can start using it. To do that, run the following command in the terminal:

sorry-cypress setup

This will prompt you with a series of questions that you need to answer. Make sure to enter your Docker Hub username and password, since Sorry Cypress requires it to push the test results to Docker Hub.

Step 4: Start Sorry Cypress

Now that Sorry Cypress is installed and configured, you can start running your tests by running the following command in the terminal:

sorry-cypress run

This will start the test runner and run your tests. Once the tests are completed, you can view the test results at http://localhost:1234.
