Please find in this project my hangout of your technical test. The test is performed with cypress, and include cypress-cucumber-preprocessor. This module process .feature files (they carry the test case in Gherkin syntax) and find matching .js files to run them by cypress runner. I initially coded cypress to do the part 2 only, but took time to include the part one as well. Now cypress run the api to generate the communication with the document, then connect the user to send the mail.

Currently, cypress is still challenged with a SMS code, and I have not implemented a workaround. Cypress wait 20 for me to put the code in the GUI, then continue. Please feel free to reconfigure your environment with your own phone number to try out. However, this automate can't be industrialized into a CI/CD pipeline.

I fond 2 tools that can help us more:

cypress-recurse 🌐 can retry several time a request until a certain condition is meet. This can help us wait for Irène to process the CommunicationRequest (draft → suspended), before going any further.
cypress-mailosaur 🌐 is a mail and text provider that can help us read texts content sent by the server to a predefined phone number, and work around the text code challenge.

Please note the existance of a 'pure cypress' branch on this repo that doesn't rely on BDD.

Installation

The code has been written with VSC in mind, on a Windows 10 machine, so a launch.json configuration file is available to help run and debug the software. No helpers are available for other IDE.

Clone the repo to your local computer. You will need the following requierement:
- Node.js 16
- Git
Open a terminal in your project folder
Purge the node_module folder ( rm -rf ./node_modules/)
Run npm install to reinstall cypress and it's dependences according to your OS's environment. npm will use the package.json to find what to do.
Type npm run test to launch the script. In VS code, run Test Cypress via NPM from the Run and Debug tab. The Launch.json file will trigger the test script configured in the package.json.
On the cypress GUI, select sendDocument for the throughout test, and inbox for some subtests in the Inbox website.
