@MammaNeedHummus Yep.
But $work has been hiring almost exclusively DEI candidates for the past three years, and everything’s been slowly going to shit because of it. Over the last year, prod downtime increased 260x. So they want everything tested and triple checked before their largest client leaves. They don’t listen when I tell them what’s unstable and needs fixing because I clearly don’t know anything, so: cypress. -
@devRancid I would, but unfortunately they don’t listen to me.

@Root sounds shit sorry to hear x

@TeachMeCode Three hundred checkboxes that change behaviors. Releases twice a week.
Manual testing is just not feasible. -
things done in a week and working on first try is not how business works. there are investors' funds to be spent, there are engineers to be hired. there is time to be wasted.
imagine you do things without cypress. you're done really quickly, you don't hire more people, you don't spend money on lengthy development efforts. you don't contribute to the economy! -
@retoor still is to this day
We’re using cypress in a very large project and facing huge performance problems -
@black-kite I said had..

@retoor ok, what?
-
@devRancid interesting what would you say are things that playwright improves upon (compared with cypress)?
Have a rather complex form post too. Cypress works reliably after I removed all the violations of the documented best practices/pitfalls and race conditions in the app itself. But we don't do any fancy stuff in the tests. Tried to change one of the interceptors set in the before but that failed no matter what I tried.
Fuck Cypress. It’s a fucking goddamn pile of diseased garbage. Its design decisions actively fight against you, its methods don’t work, it’s unreliable as fuck, and it intentionally keeps stale state so your tests fuck with one another — and that even fucks up its own interface so nothing fucking works.
It’s like stepping into the shower and expecting clean water, but instead it’s just some obese guy with diarrhea shitting in your hair, and then getting all indignant that you’re upset about it.
If you consider using Cypress for something, find another project.
