Cypress Support Commands for WordPress
======================================

[](#cypress-support-commands-for-wordpress)

Common commands that can be used to create Cypress tests for WordPress

Installation
------------

Make sure you also add that installed path to your `.gitignore` file. I.E. `tests/cypress/cypress/support/cypress-wordpress-support-commands`

### Tell Cypress where to import the tests

```
composer require kanopi/cypress-wordpress-support-commands
