How do I integrate Cypress with Vuex for testing?

To integrate Cypress with Vuex, you can start by setting up your Vuex store and then use Cypress commands to interact with it.

Can you give me a code example?

Sure! You can create a test file in Cypress and use the following code:

describe('Vuex Store Tests', () => {
  it('should update the state', () => {
    cy.visit('/');
    cy.window().its('store').invoke('commit', 'yourMutation');
    cy.get('.your-selector').should('contain', 'expected value');
  });
});

What are some common pitfalls when testing with Cypress and Vuex?

Common pitfalls include not properly resetting the state between tests and not mocking API calls, which can lead to flaky tests.

How can I mock API calls in my tests?

You can use cy.intercept() to mock API calls in your tests. For example:

cy.intercept('GET', '/api/data', { fixture: 'data.json' });
