cypress-sugarcrm

Cypress-sugarcrm is a libray base on Cypress.io that provides commands for automating interactions with both local and on-demand SugarCRM intances. It also supports SugarCRM REST API operations.

To install the Cypress-SugarCRM library, run the following command.

npm install -s cypress-sugarcrm

To set up user credentials, create a file named "sugarcrm-envs.json" and copy the following content:

{
    "local":{
        "name": "local",
        "url": "http://my.sugar.loc",
        "users":{
            "admin":{
                "username": "myuser",
                "password": "Password123",
                "type": "admin"
            }
        }
    },
    "qa":{
        "name": "qa",
        "url": "https://instance.sugarondemand.com",
        "users":{
            "admin":{
                "username": "myuser",
                "password": "Password123",
                "type": "admin"
            }
        }
    }
}

Explanation:

• local and qa. Environment names to retrieve the corresponding information.
• url. The URL of the SugarCRM instances.
• users. Contains the credentials of the users to be used in automated test cases.

In your "cypress.config.js" file, add the following configuration:

module.exports = {
  ...
  chromeWebSecurity: false,
  ...
}

In the "e2e.js" file, add the following code to handle uncaught exceptions:

...
beforeEach(function() {
    ...
    Cypress.on('uncaught:exception', (err, runnable) => {
      return false;
    })
    ...
})
...

In your spec file, import the Cypress-SugarCRM library as follows:

import cySugar from "cypress-sugarcrm";

To run Cypress with the appropriate environment, use the following command and set the environment variable "sugarcrm_env":

npx cypress open --env sugarcrm_env=local
