The "just add water" Cypress + Slack healthcheck reporting tools for your app.
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.
Simply clone the repo and run:
npm installThen, 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.
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 healthcheckMake sure to customize cypress.json to your own needs, and write some more tests in cypress/integration.
