cypress 8.0.0

on Node.js NPM

Released 07/19/2021

Summary:

We've made some updates to ensure a consistent run experience across browsers.
Now all browsers run via cypress run run headlessly, with a device pixel ratio
of 1, and a screen size of 1280x720 by default.

Breaking Changes:

Please read our
Migration Guide which explains the changes
in more detail and how to change your code to migrate to Cypress 8.0.

• When running cypress run previous to 8.0, some browsers would launch headed
  while others were launched headless by default. Cypress now runs all browsers
  during cypress run as headless by default. Addresses
  #16832.
• The default screen size when running a headless browser has been reverted back
  to 1280x720 pixels (pre 7.0 behavior). Addresses
  #16853.
• When running the --headless Chrome browser via cypress run, the device
  pixel ratio will now be 1 by default, matching the behavior of all other
  browsers. This behavior can be overridden through the
  browser launch API.
  Addresses #17375.
• Cypress now enforces version checks for browser launching and will error
  during cypress run and not allow opening the browser in cypress open when
  attempting to open unsupported browser versions. Cypress supports Chrome >=
  64, Firefox >= 86, and Edge >= 79. Addressed in
  #17355.
• Arguments returned from a chained function will no longer incorrectly be of
  type jQuery and instead have an any type. Fixes
  #16669.
• The Cypress.ConfigOptions, Cypress.ResolvedConfigOptions and
  Cypress.RuntimeConfigOption types have been updated so that ConfigOptions
  match the JSON schema. Addressed in
  #17251.

Features:

• You can now configure certificate authority (CA) and client certificates to
  use within tests on a per-URL basis via a clientCertificates configuration
  option. See Client certificates for
  more detail.
• Setting the environment variable ELECTRON_RUN_AS_NODE now starts Cypress as
  a normal Node.js process rather than an Electron process. See
  Running headless tests without Xvfb
  for more details. Addresses
  #16505.

Bugfixes:

• console.log and console.error called within the
  plugins file
  will now be captured in the stdout sent to the Cypress Dashboard, making it
  visible in Output logs in the Dashboard. Fixes
  #7434.
• There are several fixes for cy.intercept()
  including:
  • The times option now works correctly with req.continue. Fixes
    #16821.
  • localhost is now accepted as a valid hostname in the RouteMatcher.
    Fixes #17015.
  • delay now works correctly with a statusCode of 204. Fixes
    #15188.
• When using the experimental
  Cypress Studio, there should be a
  reduced occurrence of "Studio failed to save commands" error messages. Fixes
  #14767.
• cy.invoke() now retains the proper this context on
  nested object methods. Fixes
  #3871.
• We no longer trigger unnecessary snapshot re-renders when hovering over the
  Command Log. Fixes
  #17257.
