Cypress.io + Slack healthcheck tool

cypress-healthcheck

The "just add water" Cypress + Slack healthcheck reporting tools for your app.

Why Cypress.io + Slack?

Cypress.io
is an amazing and easy to use E2E, integration and service testing tool which lives inside your codebase. Writing tests with Cypress is a breeze, and you can get started really quick.

However, sometimes you just want to check if your production app is alive and kicking, that is, if a user clicks on a certain element does something happen, is the app responsive, are certain critical elements or components present etc.

This is a perfect use case for Cypress and Slack, to help notify you if any production issues occur. Cypress does not have integration with Slack (just yet!), but until their great team builds this for us, you can use this framework to test anything from a simple SPA to a more complex project.

Installation

Simply clone the repo and run:

npm install

Then, create a .env
file in your project root, with the Slack Incoming Webhook key:

SLACK_WEBHOOK_KEY="YOUR_SLACK_INCOMING_WEBHOOK_KEY"

How to setup incoming slack webhooks

This demo uses the Vue.js HN clone
and mocha-spec-json-output-reporter
to output the test results. Feel free to use any other reporter
you like.

Usage

You can run this either locally or on your server with a cronjob to automate the tests. To run locally, just do a simple:

npm run healthcheck

Make sure to customize cypress.json
to your own needs, and write some more tests in cypress/integration
.
