Running Cypress tests locally
|
Hello Reader, It took me some time to realize, but you actually can run your Cypress tests locally in parallel. This part is the most criticized one among Cypress users, and I can’t believe how easy it is actually to set up. All you need to do is to use these two packages: 1. concurrently - to run your tests in parallel 1 // package.json 2 "scripts": { 3 "cy:parallel": "npx concurrently 4 \"cypress run --env split=2,splitIndex=0\" 5 \"cypress run --env split=2,splitIndex=1\"" 6 }, And that’s all there’s to it! New Cypress Course ProgressI've been heads down over the weekend, pushing forward on my upcoming Cypress course! While I’m running a bit late, I did manage to sneak in a little creative break designing the course logo. It’s starting to come together—can't wait to share more with you! Advanced Cypress InterceptingI've discovered how to run Cypress tests in parallel locally using the cypress-split and concurrently packages—a game-changer for handling large test suites. 1 Cypress.Commands.add("waitAlias", function (this: any, pattern: RegExp) { 2 return cy.wrap(null, { log: false }).then(function () { 3 const matchingAliases = Object.keys(this).filter(alias => 4 pattern.test(alias), 5 ); 6 7 if (matchingAliases.length === 0) { 8 throw new Error(`No aliases found matching pattern: ${pattern}`); 9 } 10 11 return cy.wait("@" + matchingAliases[0]); 12 }); 13 }); Meme of the week Take care! |

“Too dangerous to release” has become its own genre of AI announcement. Project Glasswing is the latest entry: not quite a product launch, but a claim about a threshold, dressed up with enough corporate coalition to signal this one is serious. Anthropic says their new security-focused model, Claude Mythos Preview, can find software vulnerabilities better than all but the most skilled human experts. George Hotz challenged the “too dangerous to release” narrative by pointing at the obvious:...
Anthropic had a rough week. And the part that stings isn’t just that something went wrong - it’s how they handled it. A map file, a DMCA frenzy, and a Python loophole On March 31st, Anthropic accidentally shipped Claude Code’s TypeScript source code via a map file left in their npm package. The leak was spotted almost immediately, and GitHub repositories mirroring the code started receiving DMCA takedowns shortly after. What followed was a fairly aggressive takedown campaign by Anthropic. One...
Hello Reader, If you’ve been reading this newsletter for a while, you know that quality engineering is the hill I’ll always choose to stand on.
