Fails to automatically load fixture files if more than one . is in file name

• Operating System: OSX High Sierra 10.13.3
• Cypress Version: 2.1.0

Is this a Feature or Bug?

Bug

Current behavior:

cy.fixture function does not look up files without extension correctly if they have several dots. Is probably looking for first element after first “.”, but should look for element after last “.”

How to reproduce:

Check this code: tiny test fork Create a fixture file with several dots in name (e.g. parent.child.info.json, and use cy.fixture('parent.child.info') in your test.

@bahmutov That’s what I was looking for! For anyone that also needs something like this - from within the plugin/index.js file you invoke an on method, so the file looks like this:

module.exports = (on, config) => {
  // `on` is used to hook into various events Cypress emits
  // `config` is the resolved Cypress config
  on('task', {
    checkFixtureExistance: (fixtureName) => {
      const rootPath = appRootDir.get();
      const filePath = `${rootPath}/cypress/fixtures/${fixtureName}.json`;
      return fs.existsSync(filePath);
    },
  });
};

So in the app you can then simply do:

const provideFixture = (fixtureName, endpointPath) => {
  cy.server();
  const filePath = `cypress/fixtures/${fixtureName}.json`;
  cy.task('checkFixtureExistance', fixtureName).then((exists) => {
    if (exists) return;
    cy.request(endpointPath).then(({ body }) => {
      cy.writeFile(filePath, body);
    });
  });
  cy.route(path, `fixture:${fixtureName}.json`);
}
