cypress-split-example's Issues

Error: Do not know how to determine the correct split using AWS CodeBuild

Research Done:

Using your existing GitLab CI example, I have tried to mimic this in AWS CodeBuild project as follows:

Created CodeBuild buildspec file:

Using reference from cypress-realworld-app:

version: 0.2

batch:
  fast-fail: false
  build-matrix:
    dynamic:
      env:
        compute-type:
          - BUILD_GENERAL1_MEDIUM
          WORKERS:
            - 1
            - 2

phases:
  install:
    commands:
      - yarn install --frozen-lockfile
  build:
    commands:
      - npx @bahmutov/print-env CI_
      - npx cypress run --env split=true

Updated Cypress.config.ts as follows:

import { defineConfig } from 'cypress';
import cypressSplit from 'cypress-split'

export default defineConfig({

  e2e: {
    baseUrl: 'http://localhost:3000',
    specPattern: 'cypress/e2e/**/*.cy.ts',
    testIsolation: true,
    setupNodeEvents(on, config) {
      cypressSplit(on, config)
      // IMPORTANT: return the config object
      return config
    },
  },

Error after executed Cypress headless mode:

Error: Do not know how to determine the correct split

Question:

Q1. How to use this package with AWS Codebuild?
Q2. In .gitlab-ci.yml there is flag parallel: 3 being used! Where to place this flag in AWS CodeBuild buildspec file?

How to use this on Azure devops pipelines

how can I make this to run on Azure devops?
