cy.type() can only accept a string or number. You passed in: undefined cypress error-CodePudding

When I run this code, it gives error. I am not getting what am I doing wrong with this.

export class Login{
    enterEmail(){
        return cy.get('input[type="email"]').type(Cypress.env('USER_LOGIN_EMAIL'))
    }
    enterPassword(){
        return cy.get('input[type="password"]').type(Cypress.env('USER_LOGIN_PASSWORD'))
    }
    signInBtn(){
        return cy.get('button[data-cy="login_signin_button"]').click()
    }
}

CodePudding user response：

As ChrisG said, one of either Cypress.env('USER_LOGIN_EMAIL') or Cypress.env('USER_LOGIN_PASSWORD') is undefined. You can define environment variables in multiple ways, but I would suggest, if these values are going to be static, to define them in your configuration.

CodePudding user response：

how are you? There are a some points we need to check, to understand why you are getting undefined.

First we need to understand where those environment variables are saved, they could be saved in a cypress.env.json file or in another .env file.

If they are saved in a cypress.env.json file, check if this file is in a JSON format like bellow with the correct variable names:

{
   "USER_LOGIN_EMAIL": "[email protected]",
   "USER_LOGIN_PASSWORD": "some.password"
}

If they aren't in a cypress.env.json but they are in another .env file, your environment variables in this other file should have a prefix CYPRESS_ so their correct names should be:

CYPRESS_USER_LOGIN_EMAIL
CYPRESS_USER_LOGIN_PASSWORD

If your environment variables don't exist in any .env file you can create the cypress.env.json like above or you can manually export in the terminal before running Cypress each time you open a new terminal using:

export [email protected]
export CYPRESS_USER_LOGIN_PASSWORD=some.password
