Allow the ability to update the TEST_UID and FIREBASE_AUTH_JWT during a test (if needing to login with other users) about cypress-firebase HOT 6 CLOSED

Yes I really like this idea a lot, thanks for posting! I actually was considering this as a way to support adding login for multiple users by UID (as mentioned in #14 ).

That would be amazing to have. Now thinking about it, it might be more valuable to directly use your command, kind of like how you use cy.callFirestore. At that point, we could do cy.exec("${npm bin}/createTestEnvFile"). Then we can pass in the uid into this command. Anyway, those are some ideas. After Christmas, I will have more time to help contribute when these type of issues come up. But for now, I can only give ideas since I don't have as much time as I would like.

Here is a reference I used that gave me this idea.

@prescottprue I tried doing my last comment with this code:

Cypress.env("TEST_UID", CypressConfig.users[role].uid)
return cy
  .exec(`set TEST_UID=${CypressConfig.users[role].uid}`)
  .exec("npm run e2e:set:config", { env: process.env }).its("stdout").should("contain", "cypress.env.json updated successfully")

My script in package.json is:

./node_modules/.bin/cypress-firebase createTestEnvFile

I also tried the second exec command to be node_modules\\.bin\\cypress-firebase createTestEnvFile. Both commands shut down cypress' browser with no error. If I comment out the second exec command, it runs just fine. It seems that it fails only when I'm running that command. I can run, for example, npm run lint (I know, I would never run that in cypress, but just as a test).

Any ideas why it would fail with createTestEnvFile?

Doesn't this issue get resolved with 0.10.0?

@dhair-seva Yes it does - thanks for posting.

I guess it doesn't necessarily update the value in the environment as described by the title, but a new JWT is generated when passing a UID to cy.login, it just isn't written to the environment.
