Did you forget to commit the come in the db.js file? Also rename the function to db_createCategory as it creates only one category.

Sorry My bad.

There are also some code style issues.

The code to open the page must also be in a then statement, otherwise you can run into async issues, so something liek this should work (didn't test it actually and there are cs issues):

describe('Test that the Catagories of com_contact ', () => {
  it('can display a list of categories of contacts in menu item', () => {
    cy.db_createCategory({ title: 'automated test category 1', extension: 'com_contact' })
      .then((id) => cy.db_createContact({ name: 'automated test contact 1', catid: id }))
      .then() => cy.db_createCategory({ title: 'automated test category 2', extension: 'com_contact' })
      .then((id) => {
      cy.db_createContact({ name: 'automated test contact 2', catid: id });
      cy.db_createContact({ name: 'automated test contact 3', catid: id });
    }). then(() => {
    cy.visit('index.php?option=com_contact&view=categories&id=0');
    cy.contains('automated test category 1');
    cy.contains('automated test category 2');
    cy.get(':nth-child(2) > .page-header > .badge').contains('Contact Count: 1');
    cy.get(':nth-child(3) > .page-header > .badge').contains('Contact Count: 2');
});
  });
});

The test fails because you need to add some more default values to the db_createCategory function

Added more default values but don't know why still checks are failing?

Restartet drone, probably a server issue

Thanks!

Thanks a lot for merging it.
