I agree with this, after you get past the simple happy path testing, working with Cypress is mostly just wrestling with Cypress and its limitations. Most of the limitations are around 2 things - Cypress has its own JS runtime separate from the node process which causes weird (non-intuitive) behavior. The other thing is the hand-wavy way Cypress tries to pretend the code is not async. You can’t just write JavaScript and have it work the way you expect, you have to write Cypress-flavored JavaScript, which sets up lots of footguns for junior engineers and causes you to have to be extra vigilant on code reviews. I have worked heavily with Cypress for years, and if I were starting a new project I would 100% choose Playwright. |
