# Run your Cypress tests in parallel (locally)

## How it works

🔍 - Search for existing Cypress tests\
📄 - Read (if exists) a weight file\
⚖️ - Split spec files into different threads\
⚙️ - For each thread it runs the Cypress command you've passed as argument\
📈 - Wait for all threads to finish and collects the result in a single report

# How to use

## Install

```
npm i cypress-parallel -D
```

or

```
yarn add cypress-parallel -D
```

## Add a new script

In your `package.json` add a new script:

```typescript
"scripts" :{
...
"cy:run": "cypress run", // It can be any cypress command with any argument
"cy:parallel" : "cypress-parallel -s cy:run -t 2 -d '' -a '\"\"'"
...
}
```

### With Arguments

Sample:

```
-a '\"--config baseUrl=http://localhost:3000\"'
```

## Launch the new script

```
npm run cy:parallel
```

or

Run with npx (no package installation needed)

```
npx cy:parallel -s cy:run -t 2 -d '' -a '""'
```

## Passing Specs

```
cypress-parallel -s cy:run -t 2 -a '\"\"' --spec path/to/spec1.spec.js path/to/spec2.spec.js
```

### Scripts options

| Option | Alias | Description | Type |
| ----------------- | ----- | ---------------------------------- | ------ |
| --help | | Show help | |
| --version | | Show version number | |
| --script | -s | Your npm Cypress command | string |
| --args | -a | Your npm Cypress command arguments | string |
| --threads | -t | Number of threads | number |
| --specsDir | -d | Cypress specs directory | string |
| --spec | | Cypress spec file paths | string |
| --weightsJson | -w | Parallel weights json file | string |
| --reporter | -r | Reporter to pass to Cypress. | string |
| --reporterOptions | -o | Reporter options | string |
| --reporterModulePath | -n | Specify the reporter module path | string |
| --bail | -b | Exit on first failing thread | string |
| --verbose | -v | Some additional logging | string |
| --strictMode | -m | Add stricter checks after running the tests | boolean |

**NB**: If you use *cypress-cucumber-preprocesor*, please **disable** the *strictMode* to avoid possible errors:

```typescript
"scripts" :{
...
"cy:parallel" : "cypress-parallel -s cy:run -t 4 -m false"
...
}
```

**NB**: If your *cypress-multi-reporters* module is not found on the same level as your Cypress suite (e.g. in a mono-repo) then you can specify the module directory for Cypress to search within.

```typescript
"scripts" :{
...
"cy:parallel" : "cypress-parallel -s cy:run -t 4 -n .../../../node_modules/cypress-multi-reporters"
...
}
```

## Env variables

### CYPRESS_THREAD

You can get the current thread index by reading the `CYPRESS_THREAD` variable.

```javascript
const threadIndex = process.env.CYPRESS_THREAD;
// return 1, 2, 3, 4, ...
```
