'cy' is not defined no-undef warning message

[danikova]

It works in the interactive mode and it works well when running in headless mode.
But I constantly get this 'cy' is not defined no-undef warnings, which I think it's annoying.

% npm run cy:run -- -b chrome --component --spec "src/Stepper.cy.jsx" 

> [email protected] cy:run
> cypress run "-b" "chrome" "--component" "--spec" "src/Stepper.cy.jsx"

Stepper.jsx is similar to what can be found in the component testing guide.

Stepper.cy.jsx is similar too:

import React from 'react';
import Stepper from './Stepper';

const counterSelector = '[data-cy=counter]'
const incrementSelector = '[aria-label=increment]'
const decrementSelector = '[aria-label=decrement]'

describe('<Stepper>', () => {
  it('mounts', () => {
    cy.mount(<Stepper />)
  })

  it('stepper should default to 0', () => {
    cy.mount(<Stepper />)
    cy.get(counterSelector).should('have.text', '0')
  })

  it('supports an "initial" prop to set the value', () => {
    cy.mount(<Stepper initial={100} />)
    cy.get(counterSelector).should('have.text', '100')
  })

  it('when the increment button is pressed, the counter is incremented', () => {
    cy.mount(<Stepper />)
    cy.get(incrementSelector).click()
    cy.get(counterSelector).should('have.text', '1')
  })

  it('when the decrement button is pressed, the counter is decremented', () => {
    cy.mount(<Stepper />)
    cy.get(decrementSelector).click()
    cy.get(counterSelector).should('have.text', '-1')
  })

  it('when clicking increment and decrement buttons, the counter is changed as expected', () => {
    cy.mount(<Stepper initial={100} />)
    cy.get(counterSelector).should('have.text', '100')
    cy.get(incrementSelector).click()
    cy.get(counterSelector).should('have.text', '101')
    cy.get(decrementSelector).click().click()
    cy.get(counterSelector).should('have.text', '99')
  })

  it('clicking + fires a change event with the incremented value', () => {
    const onChangeSpy = cy.spy().as('onChangeSpy')
    cy.mount(<Stepper onChange={onChangeSpy} />)
    cy.get(incrementSelector).click()
    cy.get('@onChangeSpy').should('have.been.calledWith', 1)
  })
})

I've tried to fix this with an .eslintrc.json what i found from a similar discussion but I had no luck.

{
  "globals": {
    "it": "readonly",
    "describe": "readonly",
    "cy": "readonly"
  }
}

hello! 👋

have you tried this plugin as suggested here?

[danikova]

Hi, thanks for your suggestion, so I installed this eslint-plugin-cypress package, but sadly the cli output is stayed the same.

[Saniyakubu]

@danikova please have you found solution for this ?
