cypress-azure-keyvault

A custom Cypress plugin to access recover keys from Microsoft Azure Key Vaults.

Installation

npm install cypress-azure-keyvault --save-dev

or

yarn add cypress-azure-keyvault --dev

Configuring

Load the Module

Register the package's commands for use in your tests on your cypress/support/index.ts (or js file):

import "cypress-azure-keyvault";

And now you need to load the plugin into your cypress/plugins/index.js:

const { azureKeyvaultPlugin } = require("cypress-azure-keyvault");
module.exports = (on, config) => {
  // `on` is used to hook into various events Cypress emits
  // `config` is the resolved Cypress config
  return azureKeyvaultPlugin(on, config);
};

Configure access to Azure Key Vaults

In order to use the Azure Key Vault plugin, you must store your Azure access information as environment variables (either locally or/and define environment variables on azure).

You can also set it in a .env file (if you are using dotenv-cli package) or into your pipeline (as build variables).

You can find where to generate these values on the Azure Portal.

  export AZURE_CLIENT_ID="generated-app-ID"
  export AZURE_CLIENT_SECRET="random-password"
  export AZURE_TENANT_ID="tenant-ID"

Using the cy.getKeyvaultData()

Command interface

// command parameters
interface GetKeyvaultDataOptions {
  vault: string; // they keyvault name
  keys: string[]; // list of keys that you want to recover
  keyPrefix?: string; // a prefix for each key if the key vault is shared or if you prefix your keys by environment (optional)
  envSuffix?: string; // identifier for the environment (optional)
}

// command return
interface KeyVaultData {
  envSuffix: string;
  data: {
    [i: string]: string;
  };
}

Example

Without key prefix

describe("Example Azure Key Vault Flow", () => {
  let keysValues;
  before(() => {
    cy.getKeyvaultData({
      vault: 'myAppVault',
      keys: ['user', 'password']
    }).then(result => (keysValues = result.data));
  });

  it("should use key vault", () => {
    // my login tasks
    console.log(keysValues);
    // { user: "admin", password: "admin123!" }
  })

With key prefix

describe("Example Azure Key Vault Flow", () => {
  let keysValues;
  before(() => {
    cy.getKeyvaultData({
      vault: 'myAppVault',
      keys: ['user', 'password'],
      keyPrefix: "production"
    }).then(result => (keysValues = result.data));
  });

  it("should use key vault", () => {
    // my login tasks
    console.log(keysValues);
    // { production-user: "admin", production-password: "!QAWS@##was342" }
