Easier use of Cypress module API
See original GitHub issue- Operating System: Ubuntu 17.10
- Cypress Version: 2.1.0
- Browser Version: Chrome 65
Is this a Feature or Bug?
Feature
Current behavior:
- I am currently working on a internal node_module/lib for usage within our company whose sole purpose is to ensure common settings/structure for all our projects.
- The Cypress module API is a bit verbose to work with when you are trying to achieve this.
Desired behavior:
- The options object that
cypress.openorcypress.runtakes, expects the values to be strings as how it would be passed from command line. I should be able to pass a normal object. - Also it keeps creating an empty
cypress.json, is it absolutely mandatory for this file to be present.
PS: Also I am a complete beginner in using Cypress, I apologize in advance if some parts/all of this issue is misinformed. I got sold by watching the intro video!! I feel this is THE TOOL for e2e-tests!
Note: I am willing to contribute if needed.
