This repository demonstrates the integration of Cypress, a powerful front-end testing tool, with GitHub Actions for continuous integration and deployment (CI/CD).

Cypress allows for writing tests that interact with a web application in the same way a user would, and GitHub Actions provides a platform for automating these tests every time code is pushed to the repository.

This repository includes a Cypress test suite that interacts with a todo list web application, much like a real user would.

The main workflow file, ci.yml, orchestrates the execution of Cypress tests on every push event. The workflow runs on an Ubuntu 22.04 environment.

Below is a step-by-step explanation of the workflow:

The workflow checks out your repository using actions/checkout@v3.

This step installs the necessary npm dependencies, correctly caches them, and runs all Cypress tests using cypress-io/github-action@v5.

If the Cypress run fails, the workflow uploads the screenshots taken during the test run for debugging purposes using actions/upload-artifact@v3. The artifact is named cypress-screenshots and is stored at the cypress/screenshots path.

Regardless of the test run's outcome, the workflow uploads the test run video for further examination, if necessary. The artifact is named cypress-videos and is stored at the cypress/videos path.
