Cypress Parallelisation Without Cypress Dashboard

Question

Is there a way I could run parallel cypress executors without access to the cypress dashboard?

I'm trying to have cypress run my tests in parallel but it seems that you must have internet connectivity to reach the cypress dashboard to record the tests.

Anyone knows how I can get around this and have tests run in parallel without being dependent on Cypress Dashboard or a specific CI tool like Circle CI?

Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

Look at this free solution https://github.com/agoldis/sorry-cypress I use only director service in docker-compose to make tests run parallel , as a simple example:

version: '3.7'
networks:
  default:
    external:
      name: bridge

services:
  cypress:
    container_name: cypress
    build:
      context: ../
      dockerfile: ./docker/cy.Dockerfile
    links:
      - director
    ports:
      - '5555:5555'
    network_mode: bridge

  cypress2:
    container_name: cypress2
    build:
      context: ../
      dockerfile: ./docker/cy.Dockerfile
    links:
      - director
    ports:
      - '5556:5556'
    network_mode: bridge

  mongo:
    image: mongo:4.0
    network_mode: bridge
    ports:
      - 27017:27017

  director:
    image: agoldis/sorry-cypress-director:latest
    environment:
      MONGODB_URI: "mongodb://mongo:27017"
    network_mode: bridge
    ports:
      - 1234:1234
    depends_on:
      - mongo
