How to run tests related to changed files in Cypress

I'm using cypress to set E2E tests.

But I'm facing some troubles, because every time I implement a new feature or refactor some code, I need to run all my tests to see if my modifications doesn't broke something in my application.

In Jest we have the flag --findRelatedTests that run only related tests files modified.

I wonder if there's a way to do the same in Cypress.

Solution

  • Are you looking for the plugin cypress-watch-and-reload?

    // cypress.json

{
  "cypress-watch-and-reload": {
    "watch": ["page/*", "src/*.js"]  // watch source and page-object (helper) files
  }
}
