Hey @essivision, this is documented here: https://on.cypress.io/intelligent-code-completion

Let me know if there's anything left unanswered!

I can't understand. Visual studio code dosen't suggest cypress methods

Hi @essivision, were you able to go through the set up process for VS Code detailed here? https://on.cypress.io/IDE-integration#Set-up-in-your-Dev-Environment

This would mean setting up TypeScript support for VS Code and adding the tsconfig.json file to your project.

Edit: fixed dead link

only you have to put this line at beggining of the document:

/// <reference types="Cypress" />

@jennifer-shehane The config files mentioned in the documentation do not appear to work (at least not with the latest version of VSCode).

The triple-slash directive does work, although preferably it'd be nice not to have to add that to every file.

/// <reference types="Cypress" />
