I have tried something similar and it has not worked for me.. I think my problem is that grapesJs canvas is rendered as an iframe , table with blocks is rendered outside this iframe and cypress when i click on a block to drag it and then drop it inside the iframe it does not handle the inside content of iframe. Let me know if you have made it work.
I don't reached the tests in my development yet :/ But i pretend to use Cypress to.
Thanks for reporting this, @christosapos.
Great question about Test drag and drop with Cypress. The recommended approach with GrapesJS is to use the event-driven API.
Start here:
- Check the GrapesJS documentation for your specific module
- Look for the
on()event listener method - Most operations can be achieved by listening to editor and component events
Common patterns:
// Listen for changes
editor.on('change', () => console.log('something changed'));
// Component lifecycle
editor.on('component:mount', (c) => console.log('component ready', c));
editor.on('component:update', (c) => console.log('component updated', c));
If you're still stuck:
- Share a minimal CodeSandbox reproduction
- Include what you've already tried
- Mention your GrapesJS version
