Failing to complete setupMetamask. about synpress

[cinjon]

This is true even if I just copy-paste in https://github.com/Synthetixio/synpress/blob/master/tests/e2e/specs/metamask-spec.js and run it. It always fails to complete the cy.task('setupMetamask') function.

I had a similar issue and it took a few rounds of debugging to get this base test case passing. Here's what I noticed / changed:

1. The tsconfig.js in my /tests/e2e was not being picked up by the typescript compiler so I had to make debugging changes to the tsconfig in my project root
2. The application running at localhost didn't accept connections to rpc's with chainId: 42 (kovan) so I made sure it was supported by my rpc connector
3. I was not targeting the right ecmascript target. Changing the target from es5 to esnext got the tests working
4. Needed to set importHelpers in my compilerOptions to true
5. Needed to install tslib and set it's path in the paths object of tsconfig

Hope these help you!

Thanks for helping @raparri01 . I switched to using dappeteer (with puppet) and it worked more smoothly.

@cinjon @raparri01 sorry for late response.

You are missing SKIP_METAMASK_SETUP=true if you want to use your custom setupMetamask() function in tests. In general, you shouldn't be really using it this way if not required.

I recommend sticking with default method which requires you to set environmental variables mentioned in the readme to make it work (like SECRET_WORDS='test test' or PRIVATE_KEY=test). Then everything is handled automatically for you every test and you don't have to repeat it yourself in your tests.

@drptbl where do you have to set these environment variables?

edit:

Nevermind! Had to set those before I ran the command:

PRIVATE_KEY="" NETWORK_NAME=rinkeby yarn synpress run

Got confused because in the readme, I saw -e and thought I have to pass the envs after the command itself, and it wasn't working for me
