Closing - alias in before hook

before code is only run once, and between the tests Cypress removes all of the aliases. So in subsequent tests it is not available.

Moving this code into a beforeEach will work.

Duplicate of #665

Closing - content-type null

Cypress often takes the route of being more opinionated than other testing tools. Part of what we're trying to do is catch errors in your application that you may not find otherwise. We do not take a strategy of guessing the MIME type as some browsers do, so what you are experiencing is the intended behavior. There are many reasons for this that you can read here: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Security/Securing_your_site/Configuring_server_MIME_types

We suggest you do not send a null MIME type from your server as, according to the HTTP specification, browsers have no way of knowing how you intend for them to display and process your content.

We will be closing this issue as we do not intend to change Cypress behavior in this situation.

Prioritize Issue

We prioritize issues we work on based on a variety of factors - including the number of users requesting/helped by a feature. While this is still on our Roadmap, many other features are a higher priority today as a result of this assessment. Sorry for the delay. 🙏

Record key exposed

You should not share your record key in a public place. There are reasons why this key should be kept secret as explained here: https://on.cypress.io/projects#Record-key

We strongly advise that you regenerate a new key since you have exposed your private record key. Instructions here: https://on.cypress.io/projects#Create-new-record-key

Stage - Still in proposal stage

This issue is still in the 'proposal' stage, which means no work has been done on this issue as of today, so we do not have an estimate on when this will be delivered.

Triage - CI diff from local

Tests run in CI run within the Electron browser. So, the first suggestion is to run the tests locally within the Electron browser with DevTools open to see if there are any issues there.

Since you already mentioned running the tests locally with other browser combinations, next I would make sure that video recording and/or screenshots are turned on during the CI run. Review the video to see if anything can be detected there that is causing the failure.

If it's still not obvious, compare the Command Log from within the video to the Command Log of the same test passing locally when run in Cypress. Take a screenshot of each at the same moment and compare each command side by side. Seeing differences of the execution time or missing commands, etc can sometimes illuminate differences in the timings of requests or other methods that may have caused an issue.

Triage - Clear App Data

Could you try following these instructions to Clear App Data?

Triage - Cypress update first

I see that you are using an older version of Cypress. Please update to the current version of Cypress and let us know if this is still happening for you. Your issue may have already been fixed. Thanks!

Triage - Cypress version cached

We've identified an issue where if your website is using service worker cache, then the old version of Cypress may continue to run against your tests when locally opened in the newer version. (Issue to be detailed soon)

Could you please follow these instructions to clear App Data and restart Cypress? We believe this should clear the cached version of Cypress and run your tests against the new version again.

Please let us know the results!

Triage - DEBUG logs

Could you run Cypress in debug mode mode and print the entire set of logs here?

Triage - Flaky tests in CI

Most often in cases of flaky tests, we see that there is not enough assertions surrounding the actions or XHR requests/responses necessary before moving on to the next assertion. So if there is any variation in the speed of the XHR requests response in interactive mode versus run mode, then there will start to be failures in one over the other - or flaky tests.

One of our engineers, Gleb, wrote a great blog post about this you can read here: https://www.cypress.io/blog/2019/01/22/when-can-the-test-click/

My best debugging tip is to get a screenshot/video of the Command Log while running in CI on the flaky failed test and compare this to a screenshot/video of the Command Log while running locally - anywhere you see that it does not match exactly, look into that - may be a request returned slower or the order of how your app responded slightly changed.

Yes - Open PR

Yes we would love an open PR - even one that is a work in progress is fine. Check out our contributing doc and ask us if you get stuck.

Triage - modifyObstructiveCode

Your application may be using "frame busting". By default Cypress modifies code it detects as frame busting so the application under test runs properly in the Cypress Test Runner (which runs your app inside an iframe itself). Can you try disabling this by setting modifyObstructiveCode=false in your configuration? Further explanation can be found here: https://on.cypress.io/configuration#modifyObstructiveCode

Triage - Network issue

Can you access the domain normally, via curl within your environment? What is the result of running curl yourdomain.com? Can you access the domain via a normal Node http.request within the environment? Knowing the results of these will help narrow down if this is a network issue inside or outside of Cypress.

Triage - Run in brand new project

Just to narrow down the possible causes, could you just run Cypress in a brand new project? So:

mkdir my-project
cd my-project
npm init -f
npm install --save-dev cypress
./node_modules/.bin/cypress open

Triage - Run in Electron

Can you run the tests in cypress open and choose Electron as the browser to run within? See if the tests are failing there. Make sure to open the developer tools to see any errors in the console.

Triage - Run with --browser chrome

Can you try running the tests in CI passing --browser chrome? This will launch the tests within a Chrome browser detected on your machine. I'd like to narrow does if this is an issue isolated to the Electron browser.
