  • v5.3.0 Changes

    September 29, 2020

    🚀 Released 9/28/2020

    🔋 Features:

    • 🍱 Firefox support is now out of beta! 🎉 Firefox 80 and newer are now officially stable when used with Cypress. Addresses #8241.
      • Versions of Firefox older than 80 can still be used, but will be subject to the firefoxGcInterval workaround. The desktop GUI will display a warning if such versions are used.

    🛠 Bugfixes:

    • 🛠 Fixed a bug where cy.route2 would not automatically JSONify an empty array handler. Addresses #8532.
    • 🛠 Fixed a bug where objects yielded by using cy.wait on a cy.route2 alias would not always have a response property. Addresses #8536.
    • 🛠 Fixed an issue where cy.route2 routes would not be able to intercept requests to HTTPS destinations on a different origin. Addresses #8487.
    • 🛠 Fixed an issue where subjects became undefined after certain assertion failures. Addresses #5763.
    • 🛠 Fixed an issue where a cy.task with no arguments passed would receive null as the first argument instead of undefined. Addresses #5913.
    • 🛠 Fixed an issue preventing users from passing the config-file argument when starting cypress through the node module API. Addresses #8632.
    • 🛠 Fixed an issue where cy.visit()s to a relative URL containing .. would not work. Addresses #5090.
    • 🛠 Fixed an issue where Mocha hooks could still be triggered after the Test Runner was manually stopped. Addresses #8621.
    • 🛠 Fixed an issue where cy.setCookie failed when given a cookie name with a __Host- prefix. Addresses #8261.
    • 🛠 Fixed an issue where a misleading error was displayed when test code threw an exception with a non-Error object. Addresses #7870.

    Misc:

    • 🔒 The proxy now omits the Content-Security-Policy-Report-Only header the same way that it does for Content-Security-Policy. Addresses #7936.
    • ➕ Added a status property to CypressRunResult objects. Addresses #8580.
    • ⚡️ Updated types to no longer use deprecated Mocha interfaces. Addresses #5795.

  • v5.2.0 Changes

    September 15, 2020

    🚀 Released 9/15/2020

    🔋 Features:

    • ➕ Added the configuration option includeShadowDom for enabling shadow DOM querying globally, per-suite, per-test, or programmatically. Addresses #8442.
    • ➕ Added a followRedirect option to request interception with cy.route2(), allowing redirects to be followed before continuing to response interception. Addresses #7967.
    • ➕ Added the capability to specify delayMs and throttleKbps when stubbing static responses with cy.route2(). Addresses #7661.
    • Installing Cypress pre-releases no longer requires setting the CYPRESS_BINARY_INSTALL environment variable. Addresses #8482.

    🐎 Performance Improvements:

    • 🛠 Fixed a performance issue which led to CPU bottlenecking during Cypress runs. Addresses #8012 and #8297.

    🛠 Bugfixes:

    • 🛠 Fixed an issue where using TypeScript path aliases in the plugins file would error. Addresses #8555.
    • 🛠 Fixed an issue where using cy.contains() within a shadow root would not yield the correct element. Addresses #8494.
    • 🛠 Fixed an issue where querying the shadow DOM in a cy.within() callback would throw the error root.getRootNode is not a function. Addresses #8478.
    • 🛠 Fixed an issue with cy.type() {moveToStart}/{moveToEnd} special characters moving the cursor to the current line instead of the entire text editable when typing in a contenteditable element. Addresses #8465.
    • 🛠 Fixed an issue where typing into a manually-focused number input would prepend the number instead of appending it. Addresses #7170.
    • cy.type() now fires a KeyboardEvent event instead of an Event event. Addresses #6125 and #5650.
    • 🛠 Fixed long selectors in the selector playground text input overflowing other page elements. Addresses #8247 and #4184.
    • 🛠 Fixed an issue where assertions on cy.getCookie() would be called twice. Addresses #6672.

    • 🛠 Fixed an issue causing Cypress to hang on test retry in run mode with certain assertions. Addresses #8363.

    📚 Documentation Changes:

    • 🛠 Fixed examples of delaying and throttling responses with cy.route2(). Addresses #8489.
    • ➕ Added examples of using a response function with cy.route2(). Addresses #8468.
    • ✂ Removed unmaintained languages. English docs is the only supported language by the Cypress team. We greatly appreciate the contributions from the community for other languages, but these docs are largely stale, unmaintained, and partial. The Cypress team will seek out more scalable docs internalization implementation in the future.

    Misc:

    • 🔧 The experimentalShadowDomSupport configuration flag has been removed. It is no longer necessary to enable shadow DOM testing.
    • 👌 Improved the error message when the subject provided to cy.shadow() is not a shadow host. Addresses #8530.
    • 👌 Improved the error message when the Cypress binary is not executable. It now recommends trying to clear the cache and re-install. Addresses #8397.
    • ➕ Added missing type declarations for the cy.route2() command.
    • ⚡️ Updated the type declaration for Cypress.Commands.add(), adding Promise to the list of allowed return types. Addresses #7807.

    🔋 Features:

    • Introducing experimental full network stubbing support 🎉.
      • With experimentalNetworkStubbing enabled, the cy.route2 command is available.

  • v5.0.1

    September 30, 2020

  • v5.0.0 Changes

    August 19, 2020

    🚀 Released 8/19/2020

    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.
    • 0️⃣ 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.
    • The return type of the Cypress.Blob methods arrayBufferToBlob, base64StringToBlob, binaryStringToBlob, and dataURLToBlob have changed from Promise<Blob> to Blob. Addresses #6001.
    • 0️⃣ 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.
    • You can now chain .snapshot() off of cy.stub() and cy.spy() to disabled snapshots during those commands. For example: cy.stub().snapshot(false). Addresses #3849.

    🛠 Bugfixes:

    • ✅ The error Cannot set property 'err' of undefined will no longer incorrectly throw when rerunning tests in the Test Runner. Fixes #7874 and #8193.
    • 🛠 Cypress will no longer throw a Cannot read property 'isAttached' of undefined error during cypress run on Firefox versions >= 75. Fixes #6813.
    • 👕 The error Maximum call stack size exceeded will no longer throw when calling scrollIntoView on an element in the shadow dom. Fixes #7986.
    • 🛠 Cypress environment variables that accept arrays as their value will now properly evaluate as arrays. Fixes #6810.
    • 🛠 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.
    • 0️⃣ 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.
    • ✅ The Developer Tools menu will now always display in Electron when switching focus from Specs to the Test Runner. Fixes #3559.

    📚 Documentation Changes:

    • ✅ We have a new guide on Test Retries.
