My current project involved updating all the packages to their latest versions.
Prior to the update, all end-to-end tests were functioning correctly without any issues.
After completing the update, the product itself compiles and runs as expected without any errors.
However, post-update, there are unexpected problems with the end-to-end tests both in the IDE and during runtime.
One specific issue I encountered is related to the usage of cy.checkA11y():
cy.checkA11y(
{
rules: {
'aria-required-children': { enabled: false },
},
},
);
In my IDE, when using cy.checkAlly, an error is displayed stating:
TS2345: Argument of type '{ rules: { 'aria-required-children': { enabled: boolean; }; }; }' is not assignable to parameter of type 'Options'. Object literal may only specify known properties, and 'rules' does not exist in type 'Options'.
Upon inspecting the source code, it was found that the interface 'Options' extends axe.RunOptions which includes a 'rules' entry of type 'RuleObject' structured as follows:
interface RuleObject {
[key: string]: {
enabled: boolean;
};
}
As a consequence, running the tests through Cypress results in the same error, causing most of them to fail.
An attempt was made to import the required Options class, however, the compiler raised an error mentioning that the interface was not exported from the node_modules directory.
The list of package changes made in this process are:
@ag-grid-community/angular 23.2.1 → 25.0.1
@ag-grid-community/client-side-row-model 23.2.1 → 25.0.1
...
(List continues with various package updates)
...
typescript 4.0.3 → 4.0.5
