Trouble connecting to SQL Server with Cypress - sql-server

Question

Having an issue with where i seem to be connecting to SQL Server but cannot find the server/db.
I have been trying to follow the steps in this guide for Cypress 9 but to no avail.
https://www.npmjs.com/package/cypress-sql-server
There was an answer on SO that i've been trying to use but I can't reply to a comment and add a comment but it was deleted by the mods for some reason. This is the URL to the answer I have been trying to follow but can't connect.
How to configure cypress-sql-server with no cypress.json? (updated)
Has someone please got a working example?
cypress.config.ts
const { defineConfig } = require("cypress");
const sqlServer = require("cypress-sql-server");
module.exports = defineConfig({
e2e: {
setupNodeEvents(on, config) {
// allows db data to be accessed in tests
config.db = {
"userName": "x",
"password": "x",
"server": "xxx\\SQLEXPRESS",
"options": {
"database": "xxxxxx",
"encrypt": true,
"rowCollectionOnRequestCompletion": true,
"trusted_connection": true
}
}
// code from /plugins/index.js
const tasks = sqlServer.loadDBPlugin(config.db);
on('task', tasks);
return config
// implement node event listeners here
},
},
});
export default defineConfig({
chromeWebSecurity: false,
videosFolder: 'cypress/videos',
screenshotsFolder: 'cypress/screenshots',
fixturesFolder: 'cypress/fixtures',
video: false,
reporter: 'cypress-mochawesome-reporter',
reporterOptions: {
reportDir: 'cypress/reports',
charts: true,
reportPageTitle: 'xxxxxxxx',
embeddedScreenshots: true,
inlineAssets: true,
},
e2e: {
// We've imported your old cypress plugins here.
// You may want to clean this up later by importing these.
setupNodeEvents(on, config) {
return require('./cypress/plugins/index.ts')(on, config)
},
experimentalSessionAndOrigin: true,
specPattern: 'cypress/e2e/tests/orders/*',
baseUrl: 'http://localhost:4200',
},
})
index.ts
const { defineConfig } = require('cypress')
module.exports = (on, config) => {
require('#cypress/code-coverage/task')(on, config);
require('cypress-mochawesome-reporter/plugin')(on);
return config;
}
e2e.ts
import '#cypress/code-coverage/support';
import './commands';
import 'cypress-mochawesome-reporter/register';
import sqlServer from 'cypress-sql-server';
sqlServer.loadDBCommands();
}
Tried creating a new sysadmin also on SQL Server in case it was an access issue

Answer 1

The TCP/IP Properties for your instance should look like this to make it listen on port 1433: On IPALL clear the TCP Dynamic Ports and set TCP Port to 1433.

Answer 2

You have the pattern for cypress.config.js plus the one for cypress.config.ts in your config file, but it's either/or not both at once.
See example Configuration.
Since you use typescript, try
import { defineConfig } from 'cypress'
import sqlServer from 'cypress-sql-server'
const dbSettings = {
"userName": "x",
"password": "x",
"server": "xxx\\SQLEXPRESS",
"options": {
"database": "xxxxxx",
"encrypt": true,
"rowCollectionOnRequestCompletion": true,
"trusted_connection": true
}
}
export default defineConfig({
chromeWebSecurity: false,
... // other cofinfig settings
e2e: {
setupNodeEvents(on, config) {
config.db = dbSettings;
const tasks = sqlServer.loadDBPlugin(dbSettings);
on('task', tasks);
return require('./cypress/plugins/index.ts')(on, config)
},
experimentalSessionAndOrigin: true,
specPattern: 'cypress/e2e/tests/orders/*',
baseUrl: 'http://localhost:4200',
},
})
