This Angular Schematic has been adopted by Cypress and will be maintained in their repository by the Cypress Team moving forward. Head over to https://github.com/cypress-io/cypress/tree/develop/npm/cypress-schematic for more info, and feel free to contribute!
Thank you to the contributors of this library @muuvmuuv, @konstantindenerz, @cexbrayat, @MrCube42, @devinshoemaker, @Ant59, @NileshPatel17, @timtim5174, @tabuckner, and @bovandersteene. Thank you @schuchard for pioneering the sandbox approach for developing Angular schematics.
Add Cypress to an Angular CLI project
This schematic will:
- install Cypress, its dependencies, and new scripts
- add necessary files for Cypress to work with Angular & Typescript
- prompt for removal of Protractor files and configuration
Run as one command in an Angular CLI app directory. Note this will add the schematic as a dependency to your project.
ng add @briebug/cypress-schematic
With the custom builder installed, you can run cypress with the following commands:
ng e2e
ng run {your-project-name}:cypress-open
These two commands do the same thing. They will launch the (Electron) Cypress Test Runner in watch mode.
ng run {your-project-name}:cypress-run
This command will open the (Electron) Cypress Test Runner and run your tests one time, with output to your terminal.
Option | Description |
---|---|
addCypressTestScripts | This will add Cypress open and run command scripts to your package.json . Include --addCypressTestScripts in your ng add command. |
noBuilder | This will skip the builder addition, leaving the angular.json file unmodified and requiring you to run Cypress from the command line or through your IDE. Include --noBuilder in your ng add command. |
Issues with this schematic can be filed here.

⚙ Node.js and npm are required for the scripts. Make sure it's installed on your machine.
⬇ Install the dependencies for the schematic and the sandbox application
npm i && cd sandbox && npm i && cd ..
🖇 Link the schematic in the sandbox to run locally
npm run link:sandbox
🏃 Run the schematic
npm run build:clean:launch
Execute the schematic against the sandbox. Then run linting, unit & e2e tests and a prod build in the sandbox.
npm run test
Run the unit tests using Jasmine as a runner and test framework.
npm run test:unit
Running the schematic locally makes file system changes. The sandbox is version controlled so that viewing a diff of the changes is trivial. After the schematic has run locally, reset the sandbox with the following.
npm run clean
