This repo provides tools to export Cypress Tests from Google Chrome DevTools' Recordings programmatically.

Install Cypress Chrome Recorder extension if you want to export the recordings directly from the Chrome DevTools' Recorder UI.

In order to export JSON files from Chrome DevTools Recorder you will need to be on Chrome 101 or newer.

dblClick and rightclick require Chrome 103 or newer.

$ npm install -g @cypress/chrome-recorder

To use the interactive CLI, run:

$ npx @cypress/chrome-recorder

The CLI will prompt you to enter the path of the directory or file that you would like to modify as well as a path to write the generated Cypress test to.

If you prefer to enter paths via the CLI, you can run the following command to export individual recordings:

$ npx @cypress/chrome-recorder <relative path to target test file>

or for folders containing multiple recordings:

$ npx @cypress/chrome-recorder <relative path to target test folder>/*.json

By default the output will be written to cypress/integration with a fallback to cypress/e2e. If you do not have those folders, create them manually or install Cypress by running yarn add -D cypress or npm install --save-dev cypress in your project.

If you prefer a different output directory, specify that via CLI:

$ npx @cypress/chrome-recorder <relative path to target test folder>/*.json --output=folder-name

or via the interactive CLI prompts.

import { cypressStringifyChromeRecording } from '@cypress/chrome-recorder';

const stringifiedContent = await cypressStringifyChromeRecording(
  recordingContent
);

return stringifiedContent;

Below are the step types that are currently supported:

If a step type is not listed above, then a warning message should be displayed in the CLI.
