VistasHow to correctly export and import functions for cypress plugin index.ts?
I am developing plugin/index.ts file where I place async functions eg. clearing the database or uploading files to the app, but it starts to grow and I think about a way to keep it clean and structured.
In this video I see that there is a way to store functions in separate files and then export them using module.exports = { function } and then in the index.ts just import them using require.
But I can't have it working for my case.
This is a simplistic form of my plugins/index.ts file:
const uploadDocument = require('./documents');
module.exports = (on, config) => {
// `on` is used to hook into various events Cypress emits
// `config` is the resolved Cypress config
on('task', {
clearDatabase: clearDatabase,
uploadDocument: uploadDocument,
});
async function clearDatabase() { ... }
}
I decided to move the code of function uploadDocument to the plugins/documents.ts file:
and this is how the file plugins/documents.ts looks like:
imports...
async function uploadDocument(fileName: string) { ... }
module.exports = { uploadDocument }
And when I run the test with a task this way:
cy.task("uploadDocument", 'Very_light_file.pdf')
I get this error in Cypress:

It looks like the problem is with your module.exports and the import.
Try this,
// document.ts
export async function uploadDocument(fileName: string) { ... }
// module.exports = { uploadDocument }
// plugins/index.ts
import { uploadDocument } = from './documents'

From the post, I can tell TS is mixed JS there. The example is in JS, you're using TS, so there is no module.exports.
Try a pure JS version, then later convert it to TS.

If you look at cypress-io/cypress-realworld-app/blob/develop/cypress/plugins/index.ts you can see they change module.exports to:
// cypress/plugins/index.ts
export default (on, config) => {
config.env.defaultPassword = process.env.SEED_DEFAULT_USER_PASSWORD;
config.env.paginationPageSize = process.env.PAGINATION_PAGE_SIZE;
// Auth0
//
//
}
