@dafeder This was the first pass trying to collect the information from Slack and conversations. How does this look to you?

The goal for the ticket is to have a central location for running Cypress so it isn't installed multiple times per DKAN installation.

Current Setup:

• data-catalog-app installs its own version of Cypress when added to src/frontend.
• In DKAN tools dkanTestCypress command installs a version of using npm install cypress then npx to run it. The issue with this is there is no package-lock file so the version may be different and with how fast Cypress updates this could invalidate tests.

Suggested Setup:

• When using dkan tools to install a new site, we should collect all the tests in one location.
• We can probably leave the current DKAN tools stuff in place, but instead of using npm install cypress we include a package.json in the DKAN repo so we can control the version of Cypress and just run npm install in that folder.
• During the frontend link process during a site setup, we should symlink the Cypress folders for the frontend tests with the cypress folder that is in the core DKAN code.
• Once these are connected, we could then use Cypress cli tools to give options on which tests to run. I think most Cypress fixtures and specs work through sub folders so naming will be important.
