This Github action enables you to take the screenshots and videos generated by Cypress after a test run and upload them directly to a Slack channel of your choice. All files are contained within a single message thread to minimize noise.

Required Slack app token. See Internal app tokens

• Create an app
• Add file:write and chat.postMessage permissions
• Install the app into your workspace
• Invite the bot to whatever channels you want to send the videos and screenshots to /invite <botname>
• Grab the bot token from OAuth & Permissions page

Required Slack channels to upload to

Optional The folder where Cypress stores screenshots and videos on the build machine.

Default: cypress

(this relative path resolves to /home/runner/work/<REPO_NAME>/<REPO_NAME>/cypress)

If your project uses Cypress from the project root folder, the default value will work for you. But if your project uses Cypress in a subfolder (like most monorepos), you'll need to provide the relative path to that folder (i.e. e2e/cypress). (Don't include a trailing slash on your path!)

Optional Custom Slack message text.

Default: A Cypress test just finished. I've placed the screenshots and videos in this thread. Good pie!
