Cypress with Mapbox

[mcfwesh]

Hello,
I need dire help on how to use the mapbox instance (getMap()) in cypress for tests, after initializing.
I initialised it, like so, and send it as props, after saving it to state, to my different components in my app for use:

  const handleOnLoad = (e) => {
    const map = mapRef.current.getMap();
    setMap(map);
  };

Now, I wish I could send this to my cypress spec file, but that does not work. Could you suggest any means by which I can do this, or better still test mapbox events and interactions in cypress?
