docs(testing): document the ticket strategy for cy.clerkSignIn by jescalan · Pull Request #10652 · clerk/javascript

jescalan · 2026-11-04T17:25:15Z

Description

cy.clerkSignIn() accepts { strategy: 'ticket', ticket }, and has since @clerk/testing 1.11.0, but its JSDoc says it supports only password, phone_code, and email_code. Anyone reading the editor hover would conclude that sign-in tokens aren't an option in Cypress. The SDK team has confirmed the strategy is supported.

This matters for teams running end-to-end tests against a production instance, where Test mode's 424242 codes shouldn't be enabled. Signing in with a sign-in token is how those tests get a signed-in user. clerk/clerk#3754 adds a guide for this and documents ticket on the Cypress custom commands page, which is why the JSDoc should agree with it.

This changes comments only, plus a patch changeset because the JSDoc ships in the published types. The Playwright helper's JSDoc also leaves ticket out of its signInParams list. I've left that for a separate change, since Playwright users normally reach tickets through emailAddress.

Checklist

pnpm test runs as expected.
pnpm build runs as expected.

Walkthrough

The cy.clerkSignIn() documentation now lists ticket as a supported strategy. It explains that the strategy uses a sign-in token created in a Cypress task and requires a Secret Key. The documentation also states that identifier is not required for ticket. A patch changeset records the addition for @clerk/testing.

Estimated code review effort: 1 (Trivial) | ~3 minutes

Merge Risk: Low · up to e9b68
