Question

so i decided to use google chrom recorder extention , i saved the json file , but i have a problem to transform it to cypress code
when i use the commandes mentioned in cypress site i get this issue

npm install -g @cypress/chrome-recorder
npx @cypress/chrome-recorder C:\Users\jebalia\downloads\cypresstest.json --output=cypress/integration

=> Running Cypress Chrome Recorder on C:\Users\jebalia\downloads\cypresstest.json

There was an issue writing the output to cypress/integration. Please check that it exists and try again.

I faced the same problem and solved it. You should use relative path for .json file and output folder. Using absolute path like C:\Users\.... is wrong.

example usages are;

npx @cypress/chrome-recorder <relative path to target test file>

npx @cypress/chrome-recorder <relative path to target test folder>/*.json

npx @cypress/chrome-recorder <relative path to target test folder>/*.json --output=relative-folder-name
