Testing & CI

• Testing & CI Cypress email testing: sign-up, OTP and reset emails A cy.task that polls a disposable inbox with a wall-clock deadline, two custom commands (fresh address, wait for mail) and two extractors, complete sign-up, one-time-code and password-reset specs, the timeouts Cypress gets wrong by default, and how it runs in CI without a secret. 1 Sept 202619 min readIntermediate
• Testing & CI GitHub Actions: an end-to-end job that reads real email Complete workflows for Playwright and pytest, why there is no secret to store, the one HTTPS egress rule (and what to allow on a hardened runner), shards and retries without shared mailboxes, the four timeouts that have to nest, reading a failure from the artifact, and the optional cleanup step. 1 Sept 202615 min readIntermediate
• Testing & CI OTP codes from email in automated tests, without flaking Where a code actually is (text, HTML, the subject line), the regex anchored on your own wording, templates that split the digits into table cells, why the newest message is not always the right one, codes that expire during a slow run, and extractors for jq, Python and TypeScript. 1 Sept 202614 min readIntermediate
• Testing & CI Playwright email testing: read a code from a real inbox A fixture that opens a fresh inbox per test, a wait with a wall-clock deadline instead of a retry count, extractors anchored on your own template, three complete flows (code, magic link, password reset), and how it survives CI without a secret. 1 Sept 202620 min readIntermediate
• Testing & CI Test an email verification flow end to end The full sign-up loop against a real mailbox: unique address per run, polling with a wall-clock deadline, extracting the code or the confirmation link, and working Playwright and pytest helpers. 19 Aug 202622 min readIntermediate
