I have an app which uses Vimeo. When the video is finishes, the app responds to this. Everything works as expected, but to make sure it keeps working, I would like to test this behaviour using Cypress. Because I don’t want to make the test wait for the video, I want to skip the video using the Vimeo postMessage API. I have the following test:
cy.window().then(
(window) =>
new Cypress.Promise((resolve) => {
const vimeo = window.document
.querySelector('[data-block="@appsemble/video"] > div')
.shadowRoot
.querySelector('iframe')
.contentWindow;
const handler = ({ data }) => {
console.log(data);
if (data.method === 'getDuration') {
window.removeEventListener('message', handler);
vimeo.postMessage(
{ method: 'setCurrentTime', value: Math.floor(data.value) - 1 },
'*',
);
resolve();
}
};
window.addEventListener('message', handler);
vimeo.postMessage({ method: 'getDuration' }, 'https://player.vimeo.com');
}),
);
This doesn’t work. The message handler is never called, meaning the promise is never resolved and Cypress times out.
However, if I debug the Cypress tests and call postMessage on the iframe, then Vimeo responds and the Cypress promise is resolved.
In my cypress.json I already have the following:
{
"chromeWebSecurity": false
}
Am I missing something or is it simply not possible to call postMessage from in a Cypress test?
