cypress 8.7.0

on Node.js NPM

Released 10/25/2021

Features:

• There are changes to how "slow" tests are determined and displayed in Cypress.
  Addresses #18496.
  • Added a slowTestThreshold
    configuration option to customize when tests are considered "slow" during
    cypress run. A test that runs slower than the given threshold will display
    in orange text in the default 'spec' reporter. This configuration can be set
    in your Cypress config file or via specific
    test configuration.
  • The default slow test threshold was changed from 75ms (Mocha's default) to
    10000ms for e2e tests and 250ms for component tests. To restore the old
    behavior, you can add "slowTestThreshold": 75 to your Cypress config file.
  • All tests will show the time the test ran in milliseconds during
    cypress run with the default 'spec' reporter.
• Users can pass an overwrite: true option to Cypress.Screenshot.defaults to
  change default behavior to overwrite existing screenshots without having to
  set overwrite for each cy.screenshot() command. Addresses
  #7955.

Bugfixes:

• Fixed a regression introduced in 8.6.0 where videos recorded in
  Electron to the Dashboard were not playable in the Firefox or Safari browser
  and were not compatible with QuickTime player in MacOS.
• Fixed a regression introduced in 8.6.0 so that the warning about the
  projectRoot directory not being writeable will now display correctly. Fixes
  #18485.
• Improved the error message when running Cypress without non-root permissions.
  Fixes #18445.
• An error now throws when invalid options are passed to the selectorPriority
  configuration option of Cypress.SelectorPlayground.defaults. Valid values
  are data-*, id, class, tag, attribute, or nth-child. Fixes
  #7745.

Dependency Updates:

• Pinned resolution of ua-parser-js to 0.7.24 to avoid dependency resolution
  to the compromised package versions. Please read the
  security advisory and
  take actions advised as soon as possible. Addressed in
  #18611
