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.

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:

  1. Check the GrapesJS documentation for your specific module
  2. Look for the on() event listener method
  3. 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
