javascript - Outputing Logs in Reporter Cypress

Question

I am writing a test kit on cypress for my web application. One thing I want to be able to do is display certain data about the state of the application appended to each test so I know the particulars of that user's configuration. For example, the url of the test, whether the user has certain permissions or not etc. I am using mochawesome for the reporting but am not entirely partial to it. Is there some way to add data that comes from cy.get, cy.find... commands to the reporting?

Answer 1

I figured it out. Add this to support/commands.js

import addContext from 'mochawesome/addContext';
Cypress.Commands.add('addContext', (context) => {
  cy.once('test:after:run', (test) => addContext({ test }, context));
});

Then use the function through cy.addContext("whatever"). It will get added to the mochawesome test file.
