How to Install Sorry Cypress on OpenSUSE Latest?

Sorry Cypress is a free, open-source and self-hosted parallel testing platform. It allows you to run your Cypress tests faster by distributing them across multiple nodes. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing Sorry Cypress on OpenSUSE Latest.

Prerequisites

Before you start, make sure you have the following:

  • OpenSUSE Latest installed on your machine.
  • Node.js and NPM installed.
  • Docker installed.

Step 1: Install MongoDB

Sorry Cypress requires a MongoDB database to store its test results. To install MongoDB on OpenSUSE Latest, run the following commands in the terminal:

sudo zypper addrepo --no-gpgcheck https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/server:mongodb/openSUSE_Tumbleweed/ mongodb
sudo zypper refresh 
sudo zypper install mongodb mongodb-tools
sudo systemctl start mongodb
sudo systemctl enable mongodb

Once installed, you can verify that MongoDB is running by running the following command:

sudo systemctl status mongodb

Step 2: Install Sorry Cypress

Now that MongoDB is installed and running, we can proceed with installing Sorry Cypress. To install Sorry Cypress on OpenSUSE Latest, follow these steps:

  1. First, create a new directory for your Sorry Cypress installation:
mkdir sorry-cypress
cd sorry-cypress
  1. Next, install Sorry Cypress using NPM:
npm install sorry-cypress
  1. Once installed, you can start up Sorry Cypress by running the following command:
npx sorry-cypress start

This will start Sorry Cypress on your local machine.

Optional Step 3: Running Sorry Cypress with Docker

If you prefer to run Sorry Cypress with Docker instead of using NPM, you can follow these steps:

  1. First, create a new directory for your Sorry Cypress installation:
mkdir sorry-cypress
cd sorry-cypress
  1. Then, create a new docker-compose.yml file in the sorry-cypress directory with the following content:
version: '3'
services:
  mongodb:
    image: 'mongo'
    ports:
      - '27017:27017'

  sorry-cypress:
    image: 'sorry-cypress'
    depends_on:
      - mongodb
    environment:
      - MONGODB_URL=mongodb://mongodb:27017/cypress
      - REDIS_URL=redis://redis:6379
      - SORRY_CYPRESS_CI_ENVIRONMENT=opensuse/latest
    ports:
      - '1234:1234'
    volumes:
      - '.:/src/cypress'
    command: ['sh', '-c', 'npx sorry-cypress ci']
  1. Run the following command in the sorry-cypress directory to start Sorry Cypress with Docker:
docker-compose up

This will start Sorry Cypress on your machine and expose it on port 1234.
