Hi there, Trying to keep it relatively high level, the blog post about automating the interaction with Auth0 from Cypress does not seem to work when using the SPA SDK. [image] End-to-End Testing with Cypress and Auth0 Learn how to programmatically authenticate against Auth0 in your Cyp…

I guess you figured it out a long time ago how to do it, but if anyone else having the same issue, I can provide an easier way without exposing your test environment onto a public https address. For us the easiest way to achieve this was to proxy http://frontend:3000 to localhost:80 (inside the cy…

Hi @jdelgado ! Welcome to the Community! I don’t know if you saw my response on your tweet (from @Auth0Community), but I submitted a request for this to the team who handles the blog. I’ll add this thread to the request if there are any questions from them. Thanks! Dan

Hey @dan.woda is there an update to this? Even if not for a “fix” (documentation update), but at least when you think someone will take a look at it. So at least we can plan around it. Thanks. Juan

Thanks Dan. Yeah, looked at both the repo and the code in that Github issue and neither worked for us. The implementation is very different too. After getting a valid response from the auth URL one uses cookies, the other one localStorage. One decodes the token before saving it, the other forces a…

@jdelgado , Here is the update I got from our team who creates this content: We are collaborating with Cypress on new guidance but we don’t have an ETA yet.

Thanks Dan. I’m really happy that you are working with the Cypress team (truly!) but I don’t think this has to do with them. My feeling is that you’d have the same issue with any other driver / automation tool. For me the issue is not having clear documentation about the SPA’s SDK expectations whe…

[image] jdelgado: For me the issue is not having clear documentation about the SPA’s SDK expectations when coming back from the API call (cookie vs local storage, what to store in them, what URLs need to be called…). If this is a documentation problem then I can suggest an update fairly quick…

No, I’m not saying that. I’m saying it’s not clear a) what to store (regardless of cookies vs local storage) and b) what URLs to call and with which parameters, if any.

To be specific, neither the code in this Github comment nor this repo work or match what I see in my local environment. The code in the Github repo comes closer but: The key for the local storage proposed differs from the one I see being set by the SPA SDK in my app under test. What the SPA SDK p…

Thanks for elaborating. Hopefully this info will be useful when they address the blog post. As for right now, our team knows this is something that needs updated in our blogs/docs and are actively working on it. Your best avenue is probably either the repo issue about it, or the other topic I link…
