What it is
A short Cypress tutorial by Gleb Bahmutov showing how to use Cypress.automation and the Chrome DevTools Protocol to grant Chrome clipboard permissions. With the permission granted, a test can read the clipboard text and verify the app copied the expected value.

I have found this nice and simple solution of testing the clipboard content in Gleb Bahmutov's video Access the clipboard from Cypress test using Electron browser [LINK] . cy.window().its('navigator.clipboard') .invoke('readText').should('equal', 'copied text') It uses the new Clipboard API [LINK] (Chrome, FF and Opera: 2018; Safari and Edge: 2020; IE: no) In the video, Gleb also suggets to test a case for browsers not supporting the Clipboard API, using an old (and deprecated) method of document.execCommand('copy') . It expects the page to have an input field or textarea to paste the content. Let's assume it's textarea#paste-here . // delete navigator.clipboard to force the app to use execC

Late but if anyone is getting "Document is not focused" error from @marzzy's answer: cy.window().then((win) => { win.navigator.clipboard.readText().then((text) => { expect(text).to.eq('your copied text'); }); }); It's either because: You are executing code from the devtools console or snippets [LINK] Or if you're using Chrome you have to give it clipboard permission like this: cy.wrap( Cypress.automation('remote:debugger:protocol', { command: 'Browser.grantPermissions', params: { permissions: ['clipboardReadWrite', 'clipboardSanitizedWrite'], origin: window.location.origin, }, }), ); Source: [this video]

I am testing how "copy to clipboard" works in Cypress using Javascript and I used w3schools website for this. Here is the code: /// <reference types="Cypress" /> describe('w3schools', () => { it.only('using clipboard', () =>{ cy.visit(' [LINK] '); cy.wrap( //to give permision to read write from clipboard Cypress.automation('remote:debugger:protocol', { command: 'Browser.grantPermissions', params: { permissions: ['clipboardReadWrite', 'clipboardSanitizedWrite'], origin: window.location.origin, }, }), ); cy.get('.tooltip > .w3-button').click() cy.window().its('navigator.permissions').invoke('readText') }) }) I tried to give chrome browser clipboard permissions using the following video [this video]

I ran into a hiccup when I tried to find solutions for simulating a paste event in Cypress Typescript. Most solutions I find are in Javascript and so far none are working. :/ The scenario: User clicks "Copy" button, then pastes the value into a text field. I tried the following but they're not working (these are in JS but I need it to be in TS). Is there anything I'm missing to add? Currently none is working and I have been stuck for days already in this. Thank you! Trial 1: (not working, added in commands.ts) paste(input: string | { pastePayload: string; pasteType: string }): Chainable<JQuery<HTMLElement>>, Cypress.Commands.add('paste', { prevSubject: true }, (subject, pasteInput) => { cons
