Create Cypress E2E tests based on the test coverage report

[gabrieldutra]

Description

Cypress is the tool we've used for End-to-end testing for the past couple of years. Recently, we generated a test coverage report (#5137), which gives us a better view of areas that could benefit from some testing. Existing tests can be found in client/cypress/integration and docs for local testing can be found here.

I would love it give it a go

Thanks @ask-imran, feel free to pick any of the ones I mentioned 👍

The "Edit Alert Destination" (very similar to the existing edit_data_source_spec.js) should be a simple start if you are not used to the Redash interface, but LMK if you got interest in anything else. The docs should be of great help, but if you have any questions just send them in here 🙂.

I have been having trouble running the app/cypress tests. Followed the guide

after the dependencies installed running npm build throws error (on windows machine)
running cypress tests fail during login, the login page as well looks a bit broken (may be due to forntend assets not being built)

Am sorry if it has been documented somewhere, and Instead of spamming the PR with the comments I can take it to the forum.

Please let me know if I have missed something.

on windows machine

Oh 😅, I'm afraid we didn't officially support Windows for development, so this can be it, but it should be possible with Windows Subsystem for Linux (I saw this post in the forum). Does npm run watch show the same error?

I suppose it makes sense to move this to the forum under the Development category.

Thanks @gabrieldutra
I was trying it on my work laptop, it didn't have the specific build for WSL. I'll try it on my personal laptop. 🤞
