Summary:

Cypress now includes support for test retries! Similar to how Cypress will retry assertions when they fail, test retries will allow you to automatically retry a failed test prior to marking it as failed. Read our new guide on Test Retries for more details.

Breaking Changes:

Please read our Migration Guide which explains the changes in more detail and how to change your code to migrate to Cypress 5.0.

• The cypress-plugin-retries plugin has been deprecated in favor of test retries built into Cypress. Addresses #​1313.
• The Cypress.Cookies.defaults() whitelist option has been renamed to preserve to more closely reflect its behavior. Addressed in #​7782.
• The blacklistHosts configuration has been renamed to blockHosts to more closely reflect its behavior. Addressed in #​7622.
• The cy.server() whitelist option has been renamed to ignore to more closely reflect its behavior. Addresses #​6642.
• libgbm-dev is now a requirement to run Cypress on Linux. Addressed in #​7791.
• Values yielded by cy.setCookie(), cy.getCookie(), and cy.getCookies() will now contain the sameSite property if specified. Addresses #​6892.
• The experimentalGetCookiesSameSite configuration flag has been removed, since this behavior is now the default. Addresses #​6892.

• Cypress no longer supports file paths with a question mark ? in them. We now use the webpack preprocessor by default and it does not support files with question marks. Addressed in #​7982.
• For TypeScript compilation of spec, support, and plugins files, the esModuleInterop option is no longer coerced to true. If you need to utilize esModuleInterop, set it in your tsconfig.json. Addresses #​7575.
• Cypress now requires TypeScript 3.4+. Addressed in #​7856.
• Installing Cypress on your system now requires Node.js 10+. Addresses #​6574.
• In spec files, the values for the globals __dirname and __filename no longer include leading slashes. Addressed in #​7982.

Features:

• There's a new retries configuration option to configure the number of times to retry a failing test. Addresses #​1313.
• .click(), .dblclick(), and .rightclick() now accept options altKey, ctrlKey, metaKey, and shiftKey to hold down key combinations while clicking. Addresses #​486.

• Elements having display: inline will no longer be considered hidden if it has child elements within it that are visible. Fixes #​6183.
• When experimentalShadowDomSupport is enabled, .parent() and .parentsUntil() commands now work correctly in shadow dom as well as passing a selector to .parents() when the subject is in the shadow dom. Fixed in #​8202.
• Screenshots will now be correctly taken when a test fails in an afterEach or beforeEach hook after the hook has already passed. Fixes #​3744.
• Cypress will no longer report screenshots overwritten in a cy.screenshot() onAfterScreenshot option as a unique screenshot. Fixes #​8079.
• Taking screenshots will no longer fail when the screenshot names are too long for the filesystem to accept. Fixes #​2403.
• The "last used browser" will now be correctly remembered during cypress open if a non-default-channel browser was selected. Fixes #​8281.
• For TypeScript projects, tsconfig.json will now be loaded and used to configure TypeScript compilation of spec and support files. Fixes #​7006 and #​7503.
• reporterStats now correctly show the number of passed and failed tests when a test passes but the afterEach fails. Fixes #​7730.

v3.3.0: 3.3.0

Compare Source

Released 5/17/2019

Features:

• Cypress now automatically reads from your system's HTTP_PROXY, HTTPS_PROXY, and NO_PROXY environment variables and proxies traffic accordingly through Cypress based on these values. This includes network traffic within your application under test, when downloading Cypress, and when accessing 'Runs' within the Test Runner. Please read our new Proxy Configuration doc to understand more about proxy configuration in Cypress. Fixes #​672, #​733, #​939, #​1039, #​1459, #​1469, #​1470, #​1541, #​1608, #​2295, #​3855, #​3865, #​1401 and #​3857.
• Your project's current proxy settings now display in the Settings of the Test Runner. Addresses #​3856.
• Support for have.focus, not.have.focus, be.focused and not.be.focused assertions have been added. Addresses #​97.
• We now offer a separate 32bit and 64bit build for Windows. Addresses #​716, #​787, #​2095, #​706, #​3706, and #​4016.
• Requests that go through cy.visit() or cy.request() are now automatically retried under the hood when the request fails. This more closely reflects Chrome's default behavior on requests. Addresses #​4013, #​898 and #​1013.
• cy.visit() and cy.request() now support new options retryOnStatusCodeFailure and retryOnNetworkFailure to allow changing Cypress's automatic request retry on status codes and network errors. Addresses #​4013, #​898 and #​1013.
• .type() now supports the special character sequences {insert}, {pageup}, and {pagedown}. Addresses #​3845.
• We now indicate which XHRs match which alias in the Command Log on .wait() when they match an alias multiple times. Addresses #​477.
• The console log when clicking on the cy.visit() command now displays its resolved options arguments. Addresses #​3721.
• There's a new 'canceled' XHR status shown on the Command Log to indicate the difference between calling xhr.abort() and the browser canceling the request due to page navigation. Addresses #​3973.
• The Electron browser now runs Chrome Version 61. Addresses #​4000.
• Running Cypress via cypress run now supports scripts of type="module". Fixes #​3696.
• Exposed Cypress.isCy() method to check if a value is a valid instance of cy or a cy chainable. Fixes #​3822.
• There is a new "Download Chromium" menu item in the "Help" menu of the Test Runner links to Cypress's Chromium Download Tool. Addresses #​3977

Bugfixes:

• Fixed a regression introduced in 3.2.0 that caused an error to throw when visiting domains with certain public suffixes. Fixes #​3717.
• When running Cypress with NODE_OPTIONS environment variables set, Cypress no longer issues an incorrect 0 exit code. #​1676
• Fixed a regression introduced in 3.2.0 that caused .its() to no longer retry when it yields undefined. #​3837
• Fixed a regression introduced in 3.2.0 that caused cy.fixture() to throw a EISDIR error if a directory had the same name as a file within that same directory. Fixes #​3739.
• user-agent headers sent as arguments to cy.request() and cy.visit() are now properly sent. Fixes #​3873 and #​3719.
• When a request is proxied through Cypress and there is a network error, we no longer send an HTML response with a 500 status code. We now kill the browser-facing socket and let the network error be handled by the application under test. Fixes #​4101, #​4231, #​1036, #​4231, and #​1398.
• We changed Cypress's implementation to no longer rely on internal XHR events when the browser navigates. This fixes a a bug in Chrome 71+ that could cause XHRs to pend forever. Fixes #​3973 and #​4130
• We greatly improved the speed of proxied requests through our network layer. Fixes #​3192 and #​1469.
• If an error occurs during cypress verify, we now kill the verification process after 10 seconds and print the error message. This should prevent some situations where Cypress would hang during installation or verification and never exit. Fixes #​819.
• Cypress automatically retries cypress verify and cypress run commands by starting its own Xvfb server on Linux if the first attempt fails due to possible DISPLAY misconfiguration. Addresses #​4034.
• Cypress now properly handles typing JavaScript object prototype methods (like hasOwnProperty) into .type(). Fixes #​3423.
• We now set the form option to true if the Content-Type header equals application/x-www-form-urlencoded and json is not already set by a user. This fixes a situation where Cypress would try to parse the body as a string, resulting in a confusing error message. Fixes #​2923.
• cy.contains() now correctly handles comma delimited arguments passed to the selector argument. Fixes #​2407.
• Passing a browser path containing spaces now works properly when passed to the --browser argument. Fixes #​3979
• Fixed display of tooltips when selecting elements from the Selector Playground so that they display at the correct coordinates when scrolling. Fixes #​1351.
• The lists of spec files now display at the correct indentation level when they are nested more than 5 directories deep. Fixes #​3652.
• Cypress now properly parses environment variables with empty values. Fixes #​3742.

• Cypress.log() now throws an error when not properly passed an object as its argument. Addresses #​3658.
• Cypress.log() no longer throws when called before any other Cypress commands. Fixes #​3658.

Misc:

• We now better support capturing environment variables within Azure DevOps. Addresses #​3657.
• Cypress now only scans for spec changes when the watcher sees changes, rather than polling to scan. Addresses #​3069.
• The ability to open the context menu to see "Inspect Element" has been reenabled in the Electron browser. Addresses #​4002.
• We no longer package non-Windows ffmpeg builds with Windows builds, resulting in a 35-40% reduction in zipped size and a 36-43% reduction in unzipped size of download. Addresses #​3888.
• The warning messages when going over test recording limits have been updated to correctly display 'monthly tests' and 'private tests' where necessary. Addresses #​4024.
• When an HTTP request is received by the proxy layer, by default, we send it with a Connection: keep-alive header so that the connection will be reused if possible. Addresses #​3857.
• Improved accessibility of Test Runner for screen readers. Addresses #​3850.
• Cypress type definition now allow a timeout option in cy.hash(). Fixes #​3844.
• Fixed type definition for match assertion so that it now only accepts RegExp type arguments. Fixes #​2578.

• The Cypress Chrome extension now has a static ID of caljajdfkjjjdehjdoimjkkakekklcck. This allows Cypress to be added to extension whitelists for those working under corporate policies that prohibit extensions. Addresses #​3673, #​1239 and #​2494.

Bugfixes:

• Problems logging in through GitHub in the Test Runner have been fixed. The GitHub login window no longer shows the browser support banner and the "Authorize cypress-io" button is no longer disabled. Fixes #​1251.
• Fixed an issue when testing applications using older versions of jQuery. They now no longer throw item.first is not a function. Fixes #​2927.
• Cypress now detects more instances of browser installations. Fixes #​3183 and #​3218.
• Fixed issue with loading fixture files containing more than one . in their filename while not specifying the file extension. We are also displaying a clearer warning when a fixture file cannot be found. Fixes #​1402.
• All third party @types have been moved from Cypress dependencies into devDependencies. This should fix situations where user's type dependencies were conflicting with Cypress's third party type definitions. Fixes #​3371 and #​1227.
• Cypress.config('baseUrl') has been updated to no longer strip singular / at the end of urls and instead only strip instances of multiple /. Fixes #​3540.
• The prompt to "Restore pages?" is no longer displayed within Chrome upon restarting a crashed Chrome window. Addresses #​2048.
• cy.wrap() no longer throws an error when a non-jQuery wrapped DOM element is passed in as an argument. Fixes #​3549.
• Fixed issue where all arguments passed to setTimeout or setInterval were not properly passed on to the target function. Fixes #​3592.
• .filter() has been updated so that when called with a function, the options are now properly read. Fixes #​3315.
• Cypress's recognition of websites attempting framebusting has been updated to include framebusting code wrapped within (). #​3267
• When .its() returns undefined it no longer errors. It will now follow the same logic as all other commands and only fail when directly by a .should() command with an assertion that is not met. Fixes #​1531.
• When cy.wrap() is followed directly by a .should() command, cy.wrap() will now retry when its argument evaluates to undefined until it meets the requirements of the assertion or the cy.wrap() command times out. Fixes #​3241.

Misc:

• We now display a warning when passing an argument to --spec that is not surrounded by quotes "" recommending that the argument instead be surrounded by quotes. In some cases, not providing quotes can cause the arguments to be read in a way that is likely not its intended use. Addresses #​3318 and #​2298.
• The number of logs printed when installing Cypress in docker has been reduced. Partially addresses #​1243.
• The seeded Kitchen Sink examples have some new examples showing how to add a message to assertions, how to compare the text content of two elements, and how to make assertions about data attributes. The examples also have some small typo fixes. Fixes #​502. Addressed in #​3272, #​3287, and #​3700.
• We now only mount internal servers on loopback. Addresses #​3712.
• The instructions in Cypress's update window now include yarn update instructions alongside npm. Addresses #​2871.
• The spec file's font weight has been increased within the Test Runner for better readability. Addressed in #​3065.
• We improved the error message displayed when a record key is unrecognized during cypress run. Addresses #​1449.
• We improved the typings when using Cypress.on to listen for window.alert events to allow for Sinon.stub. Fixes #​3451.
• Fixed typo in typing for .trigger options. Addressed in #​3588.
