cypress-html-validate

Cypress HTML-Validate plugin

Validates HTML using html-validate. It automatically fetches the active source markup from the browser and validates, failing the test if any validation errors is encountered.

Usage

In cypress/plugins/index.js:

const htmlvalidate = require("cypress-html-validate/dist/plugin");

module.exports = (on) => {
  htmlvalidate.install(on);
};

In cypress/support/index.js:

import "cypress-html-validate/dist/commands";

In specs:

it("should be valid", () => {
  cy.visit("/my-page.html");
  cy.htmlvalidate();
});

Configuration

html-validate and the plugin can configured in cypress/plugins/index.js:

/* html-validate configuration */
const config = {
  rules: {
    foo: "error",
  },
};
/* plugin options */
const options = {
  exclude: [],
  include: [],
  formatter(messages) {
    console.log(messages);
  },
};
htmlvalidate.install(on, config, options);

Options

exclude: string[]

A list of selectors to ignore errors from. Any errors from the elements or any descendant will be ignored.

include: []

A list of selectors to include errors from. If this is set to non-empty array only errors from elements or any descendants will be included.

formatter

• type: (messages: ElementMessage[]): void

Custom formatter/reporter for detected errors. Default uses console.table(..) to log to console. Set to null to disable.
