Drag n drop using cypress for e2e tests

Asked by Yiannis
3 years ago.

I want to write e2e tests in cypress but I can't simulate the drag n drop function in daypilot. This is because the entire calendar is covered in a div that does not let the rest of the elements to be used.

I tried with {force:true} in cypress but nothing happens.

Cypress isn't particularly good at detecting the layers correctly and this error message ("trigger failed because this element is covered by another element") is often misleading. Adding {force: true} helps to overcome this.

Try this test - I guess you might be missing the "{button: 0}" param when trigerring the "mousedown" event.

/// <reference types="cypress" />

describe('event drag and drop test', () => {
  beforeEach(() => {
    cy.visit('https://javascript.daypilot.org/demo/scheduler/index.html')
  });

  it('moves event', () => {
    cy.window().then((win) => {
      
      var dp = win.dp;
      
      dp.scrollTo("2021-01-01");
      dp.events.add({
        id: 123,
        text: "My Event",
        start: "2021-01-01",
        end: "2021-01-10",
        resource: "A",
        cssClass: "myevent"
      });
      
      cy.get('.myevent').first().should('have.text', 'My Event');
      
      const ev = cy.get(".myevent").first();
      
      ev.trigger('mousemove', 15, 15);
      ev.trigger('mousedown', 15, 15, {button: 0});
      ev.trigger('mousemove', 440, 80, {force: true});
      ev.trigger('mouseup');
     
    });

  });

});
