Split one big test to couple files in cypress

Question

Is it possible to split one big cypress file with one big integration test suite and move source parts to couple files. In this big suite I have several test-cases. I want to move every test case to another file but it is required to create one big integration test. I need record one movie of tests after run.

If your goal is to have one video, you can merge all videos together which would be much better I think than to have one suite that executes dozens of tests. Or you can split your test suites into multiple files and export every `describe` as function and call those function in one single test suite — Josef Biehler, Dec 16 '19 at 11:31

You can import tests as functions, my company is doing this in a couple repos.

In your original test file:

import { test1 } from "./test1";
import { test2 } from "./test2";

describe("Test suite", () => {
  test1();
  test2();
});

In cypress/integration/test1:

export function test1 {
  it("Can do something", () => {
    // test goes here
  });
}

In cypress/integration/test2:

export function test2 {
  it("Can do something else", () => {
    // test goes here
  });
}
