Cypress.io: How to use Fixtures? - testing

Question

I actually use the following code:
const userType = new Map([['Manager', '1'],['Developer', '2' ]])
for (const [key, value] of usertypes.entries())
{
it('log in', () =>
{
cy.login(key,value)
cy.xpath('path')
.click()
cy.xpath('path')
.should('have.value' , key)
})
}
To use the Users in other tests I want to define usertypes in a fixture named users. How can I use this fixture with this test?
My Json File looks like :
[[
{"key": "Manager"},
{"value": "1"}
],
[
{"key": "Developer"},
{"value": "2" }
]]
I tried to use cy.fixture in the beforeElse but I dont need this in every test and it was not right.
How can I use the data of users.json in my test?

Answer 1

Looking at your test, the test data is defined outside the it(), so cy.fixture() will not be possible to call outside a running test. In this case I will recommend you to use import, so:
Create a .js file(let's say in the fixtures folder) with your users
(don't forget Map allows keys of any type, so no object notation needed):
export const users = [
[
"Manager", 1
],
[
"Developer", 2
]
]
Import the variable and pass it as argument to your map constructor:
import { users } from '../fixtures/your_file.js';
const userCred = new Map(users);
for (const [name, password] of userCred.entries()) {
it('log in', () => {
cy.login(name, password)
})
}
