Cypress

End to end testing was added in this PR: https://github.com/guardian/manage-frontend/pull/790

Running Cypress tests via actions and locally

The steps to run these tests correctly are defined in the yml file: https://github.com/guardian/manage-frontend/blob/main/.github/workflows/cypress.yml

Run yarn cypress:server (this bypasses the Identity Gateway)
Run yarn cypress:open to test visually locally, or run yarn cypress:run to run tests with command line coverage

Cypress tips

cy.getByText() fails if it can't find anything whereas cy.findByText() queries the DOM, but won't fail the test if nothing is found. Adding an extra function like .should('exist') is therefore necessary.
