works well. Is there an plan to include assertions as part of export cypress tests.? If so it would be super helpful.

Clicking "Cypress test" option does nothing.

Initially I had an issue where the extension was not appearing as an option under the Export menu. However once I restarted my PC and went back to Chrome it was there, so give your PC a restart if you cannot see the option. Functionality looks good so far, nice and easy to use!
