login sso: usages of cy.session and cy.origin with SSO

[helenou]

In order to test different scopes of the application, loginViaUI is being re-used (using a custom command which may be turned into a util function -if possible). The first test now is login to test against valid and invalid data.

So I'd like to handle error codes and I wonder if something similar to cy.intercept(POST, '/login') .then(xhr ..) approach is possible (using a switch statement in then).

The app tested is in Angular and Cypress in version 9.

I believe using cy.origin is first step with SSO login spec but not sure about the implementation with cy.session as well.

(uncomplete) code so far:

cy.session('awesomeapp', [username, password], () => {
  cy.visit('http://myappurl.local/app'); 
  cy.get('button#Connect-Button').click();
  
  cy.get('input#Email').type(username)
  cy.get('input#Password').type(password)
  
  cy.get('button#auth-connection-button-submit')
        .should('be.visible')
        .should('contain', 'Connexion') // validate button
        .click();       
})
