Examples
Cypress
Cypress is a fast, easy, and reliable end-to-end testing solution for anything that runs in a browser.
Example Layerfile
Layerfile
#This is an example webapp.io configuration for React!
FROM vm/ubuntu:18.04
# To note: Layerfiles create entire VMs, *not* containers!
RUN curl -fSsL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_14.x | bash && \\
apt-get install nodejs python3 make gcc build-essential
# Cypress OS dependencies
# https://on.cypress.io/ci#Dependencies
RUN apt-get install libgtk2.0-0 libgtk-3-0 libgbm-dev \\
libnotify-dev libgconf-2-4 libnss3 libxss1 \\
libasound2 libxtst6 xauth xvfb
# node is a memory hog
MEMORY 2G
ENV NODE_OPTIONS=--max-old-space-size=8192
RUN node --version
RUN npm --version
# Typically we would need to cache
# the NPM modules and the Cypress binary folder
# in the folders ~/.npm and ~/.cache/Cypress
# but webapp.io literally makes and stores Docker containers
# after each command, thus if there were no changes
# the layers would not be rebuilt
# BUT we still want to cache some folders to avoid
# reinstalling Cypress for example when just some source files have changed
# https://webapp.io/docs/layerfile-reference/cache#cache
COPY package.json ./
COPY package-lock.json ./
CACHE ~/.npm ~/.cache/Cypress
# copy the rest of the files
COPY . .
RUN npm ci
# shows where Cypress was installed and what's available
RUN npx cypress info
# print webapp.io variables
# https://webapp.io/docs/layerfile-reference/build-env
# using https://github.com/bahmutov/print-env
# https://github.com/cypress-io/cypress/issues/16101
RUN npx @bahmutov/print-env GIT CI RETRY USER SPLIT
RUN BACKGROUND npm start
# Create a unique link to share the app in this runner.
# Every time someone clicks the link, we'll wake up this staging server.
EXPOSE WEBSITE http://localhost:8888
SECRET ENV CYPRESS_RECORD_KEY
# execute the tests against the same machine (?) on N machines

RUN npx cypress run --record --parallel --ci-build-id $JOB_ID-$RETRY_INDEX
Displaying Cypress Results From VM
To serve and view media created by Cypress we suggest using http-server. When used in conjuction with Cypress reporters such as Mochawesome high quality HTML test reports can be viewed in your browser.
Example Layerfile
Layerfile
FROM vm/ubuntu:18.04
# Install Cypress dependencies
RUN apt update
RUN apt-get install libgtk2.0-0 libgtk-3-0 libgbm-dev libnotify-dev libgconf-2-4 libnss3 libxss1 libasound2 libxtst6 xauth xvfb
# Install node
RUN curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_14.x | bash && \\
apt install nodejs && \\
rm -f /etc/apt/sources.list.d/nodesource.list
RUN npm install -g http-server
RUN npm install mochawesome mochawesome-merge mochawesome-report-generator
COPY / /root
RUN npm install
RUN BACKGROUND http-server -p 9000
EXPOSE WEBSITE http://localhost:9000 /cypress
RUN BACKGROUND npm start
RUN npm test

Setting up Cypress with webapp.io
Documentation on how to run Cypress inside a CI pipeline and an example project running Cypress on webapp.io are also available.
