Run with npm start which starts a service on port 8080. You can play with the Cypress tests directly via npm run cy:open

What does this do?

It runs a Cypress test suite, waits for 5 minutes then runs it again and records the results to http://localhost:8080

If you visit that URL it will give you links to other options such as:

• Videos of each test run
• An easy to read status page (generated with Mochawesome)
• A JSON API endpoint for querying the existing state

Environment Variables

You can configure how the server runs:

• WAITING_TIME_INTERVAL: How long to wait in minutes between a test run finishing before starting a new run (default: 5 minutes)
• SPECS_REGEX: Select which specs to run (default all: "/cypress/integration/*-spec.js")
