Hi I am trying to automate pagination api using cypress. This api takes 2 parameters as 'pageNo' and 'pageSize', pageNo means on which page and pageSize means total records returned by server (at max 15 on 1 page).
Problem:- I want to search for a particular fileName that is returned by this api, i don't know on which pageNo it appears, as soon as i found it i have to come out of the both the loops (pageNo and pageSize) Here is my code:-
describe('Check particular value', function() {
it('Check record', ()=>{
for (let index = 1; index < 7; index++) {
cy.request({
method:"GET",
url:"https://mydomainName.com/api/v1/searchFile/getFileList",
qs:{"pageNo":index,"pageSize":15},
headers:{"authorization": "jwt token "}
}).then(function(response){
for (let j = 0; j < response.body.data.length; j++) {
if (response.body.data[j].fileName.includes('file_2021_08_20_04_31.txt')) {
break;
}
}
});
// how can i come out of this parent loop
}
});
});
Thanks in Advance!!
Do the loop within a function. The function returns when item is found, or repeats for next page.
If it gets to page 7 without finding, fail the test (or return a message).
const findFile = (expected, pageSize, maxPages, pageNo = 1) => {
if (pageNo === maxPages) {
throw `"${expected} was not found`
}
return cy.request({
...
qs:{ pageNo ,pageSize },
...
}).then(response => {
const files = response.body.data
const foundFiles = files.filter(file => file.fileName === expected)
if (!foundFiles.length) { // not on this page, try next
pageNo = pageNo + 1
findFile(expected, pageSize, maxPages, pageNo)
} else {
return foundFiles // if you want the matching objects
}
})
})
it('finds a file', () => {
findFile('file123.txt', 15, 7).then(foundFiles => {
// example further assertion on found files
foundFiles.forEach(file => expect(file.fileName).to.eq('file123.txt'))
})
})
