How to run cypress tests with tags in nrwl nx workspace

I am working in a nrwl nx workspace,, I have a cypress BDD cucumber project set up in it. I need to run cypress tests based on tags using nrwl.

Normally i would use cypress-tags command to do the same: eg: "cypress run --env TAGS='@smoke' --browser chrome "

I applied the same logic to an nx command. eg: nx e2e myProject-e2e --tags=@reg

But the nx project is identifying all test cases in cypress, it does not take into consideration the test cases tagged with tag "@reg"

Can someone guide me if there is a provision in nrwl to run cypress tests based on tags

Solution

I had the same issue and got a workaround by using the ENV object from the NX configuration:

This way, I added the tags in the project.json configuration file, in my case for running the smoke test and a regression test based on the tags filtering:

"smoke": {
  "executor": "@nrwl/cypress:cypress",
  "options": {
    "cypressConfig": "apps/explore-e2e/cypress.json",
    "baseUrl": "<BASE_URL>",
    "env": {
      "TAGS": "@smoke"
    }
  },
  "configurations": {
    "staging": {
      "baseUrl": "<STG_URL>"
    },
    "production": {
      "baseUrl": "<PROD_URL>"
    }
  }
},
"regression": {
  "executor": "@nrwl/cypress:cypress",
  "options": {
    "cypressConfig": "apps/explore-e2e/cypress.json",
    "baseUrl": "<BASE_URL>",
    "env": {
      "TAGS": "@regression"
    }
  },
  "configurations": {
    "staging": {
      "baseUrl": "<STG_URL>"
    },
    "production": {
      "baseUrl": "<PROD_URL>"
    }
  }
}

With this, you can now start tagging your scenarios and running it with:

nx e2e myProject-e2e:smoke --TAGS=@smoke

(In my case I'm using: yarn nx run instead)
