How to only log violations while running tests

[pgroot91]

Hi Guys,

Is it possible to report/log accessibility violations only and not making our tests to fail?

Test fails only due to this assertion : https://github.com/avanslaars/cypress-axe/blob/6f7887c03fdd26ac3bef7de1c1a00353692ea67d/index.js#L41

I think we can pass it as argument to enable disable the fail mode/assertion which will avoid the tests to fail. Additionally you would like to log the violations and for that can use cy.log to display the violations.

I received quite some emails asking about how to achieve this so I think its best to update in this thread :

I forked the repo and created a solution here :

https://github.com/chit786/cypress-axe/blob/e38ea0636e9207815e373040f74478efac50c878/index.js#L16

And this is how you I am handling it :

https://github.com/chit786/cypress-axe/blob/e38ea0636e9207815e373040f74478efac50c878/index.js#L55

So in nutshell the workflow will be :

• create a cypress environment variable and set the skipTests flag to true/false and pass it as fourth argument to the cy.checkA11y() command.

Hope this helps :)
