⚙️ Installation & Setup: AI Production Team

Follow these steps to set up Cypress and clone the repository:

1. Create a Project Folder 📂

• Choose any directory where you want to store the project
• Create a new folder (e.g., CypressTestingProject)

2. Open the Folder in Visual Studio Code 🖥️

• Launch Visual Studio Code
• Click File → Open Folder → Select the folder you created

3. Open the Terminal in VS Code 💻

• At the top menu, click Terminal → New Terminal

• A terminal window will appear at the bottom of VS Code

4. Ensure You’re in the Correct Directory 📍

• The terminal should display the path of the folder you opened

5. Clone the Repository 📂

• Instead of writing test cases from scratch, clone the prepared Cypress test repository
• ⚠️ Reminder: When pasting in the terminal, DO NOT use Ctrl + V. Instead, right-click on the terminal, and it will automatically paste the copied command
• Clone the repository using (Copy + Paste into the terminal):

git clone https://oauth2:[email protected]/ai-product-dev/cypress-ai-automation.git

• Navigate into the cloned directory:

cd cypress-ai-automation

6. Install Cypress 📦

npm install cypress --save-dev

7. Opening Cypress 🚀

• After installation, open Cypress with:

npx cypress open

• This command launches the Cypress Test Runner and automatically creates a cypress folder in your project directory

8. Project Structure 📁

• Inside the cypress folder, you will find:
• fixtures/: Contains test data
• integration/: Stores test scripts
• support/: Reusable functions and utilities

⚠️ Fixing “Running scripts is disabled on this system” Error

If you encounter an error message saying: error cannot be loaded because running scripts is disabled on this system

You need to allow scripts to run by updating the execution policy.

🔹 Solution:

1. Open PowerShell as Administrator

2. Run the following command in the PowerShell terminal:

Set-ExecutionPolicy -ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned -Scope CurrentUser

3. When prompted, type Y (Yes) and press Enter (If not prompted, skip)

4. To make sure it has been assigned, run the following command, it should return as RemoteSigned:

Get-ExecutionPolicy

5. Close and restart VS Code

This should resolve the issue and allow Cypress to run properly.
