Cypress could not verify that this server is running:
This error message is displayed when Cypress is unable to establish a connection with the server that it is trying to interact with. This can happen due to various reasons like incorrect server configuration, server not running, network issues, etc.
To resolve this issue, you can follow these steps:
- Check if the server is running: Make sure that the server you are trying to test is actually running and accessible. You can try accessing the server manually using a web browser or any other means to verify its availability.
- Verify server configuration: Ensure that the server configuration used by Cypress is correct. This includes the server URL, port number, authentication credentials, etc. Double-check these values to make sure they are accurate.
- Check network connectivity: Ensure that there are no network connectivity issues between Cypress and the server. Verify that the server and Cypress are on the same network and can communicate with each other.
- Debug server-side code: If the server is running but Cypress still cannot verify it, there could be an issue with the server-side code. Look for any potential errors or misconfigurations in the server code that might be preventing Cypress from establishing a connection.
- Use Cypress network stubs: If you want to bypass the server altogether, you can use Cypress network stubs to simulate server responses. This is useful if you only want to test the client-side functionality without relying on the server.
Here’s an example of how you can use Cypress network stubs:
cy.route('GET', '/api/data').as('getData')
cy.visit('/mypage')
cy.wait('@getData')In this example, the server’s ‘/api/data’ endpoint is stubbed, and Cypress waits for the response using the alias ‘getData’.
