As i’m writing some tests for the checkout (planning to make some adjustments there and it’s quite important i don’t wreck the checkout). I kinda want to add a product to the frontend cart in a before or beforeEach hook. and i’m not quite sure if fixtures are meant for this. anybody here who can help give me a pointer in wich direction to look? ---

Hello, I’m not sure if you still need help here, but I’d like to give a starting point to you either way - At least for other people who are searching. Even if fixtures aren’t the right thing per definition, we can achieve this by using commands in a similar way I think - as we use the Shopware API to create test data =  similar approach. In our [order fixture](https://github.com/shopware/e2e-testsuite-platform/blob/2b1ee86044a0143d51bd155a48efcb1cdf584064/cypress/support/service/saleschannel/fixture/order.fixture.js#L4), we do a complete checkout API-wise which means we have to add products to the cart as interim stage. Maybe you can write an own command based on this fixture as a starting point. Kind regards! Ramona
