fyi - using plugin with typescript support index.ts

[craigryan]

We have an nx monorepo with apps/proj-e2e directory. Cypress is set up with plugins/index.js and require('cypress-plugin-retries/lib/plugin')(on) as required. However, the support files were setup with typescript - index.ts, app.po.ts etc. Trying this:

require('cypress-plugin-retries');

Failed when running a single spec (ie: ng run proj-e2e:e2e --spec...) with the error
TS2339: Property 'currentTest' does not exist on type 'Cypress & EventEmitter'

To get the plugin to work with both running single specs (headless) and also via the cypress app I made a simple change to import the plugin instead and its all good:

// Import commands.js using ES2015 syntax:
import './commands';
import 'cypress-plugin-retries';

hope this helps.
