Cypress v5.1.0 Release Notes

Release Date: 2020-09-01 // over 3 years ago

  • 🚀 Released 9/1/2020

    🔋 Features:

    • Introducing experimental full network stubbing support 🎉.
      • With experimentalNetworkStubbing enabled, the cy.route2 command is available.
      • By using cy.route2(), your tests can intercept, modify, and wait on any type of HTTP request originating from your app, including XMLHttpRequests, fetch requests, beacons, and subresources (like iframes and scripts).
      • Outgoing HTTP requests can be modified before reaching the destination server, and the HTTP response can be intercepted as well before it reaches the browser.
      • See the cy.route2() docs for more information on how to enable this experiment.
    • cy.trigger() now accepts an eventConstructor option for specifying the constructor with which to create the event to trigger. Addresses #5650.
