cypress 8.6.0

on Node.js Yarn

Released 10/11/2021

Features:

• cy.screenshot() now accepts overwrite: true as an option to overwrite
  existing screenshots with the same file name. Addresses
  #7955.
• cy.select([]) can now be used to clear any selected options in a multi-value
  select. Addresses #4318.
• Using cy.pause() when using cypress run --headed --no-exit will now pause
  a test. Addresses #4044.

Bugfixes:

• Fixed a regression introduced in 8.2.0 where certain XMLHttpRequests
  would not display their response bodies in the DevTools Console when clicked.
  Fixes #17656.
• Fixed a regression in 8.3.0 where capturing videos in Chrome
  versions earlier than 89 would result in choppy videos and skipped frames.
  Fixes #18021.
• Cypress displays the correct error when certain custom error types are thrown
  within a test. Fixes
  #18259.
• The Cypress App will no longer crash when passed a --spec: {} from the CLI
  and instead error when passed an invalid object argument. Fixes
  #3957.
• Logging a plain object no longer results in the error "Cannot convert object
  to primitive value". Fixes #18143.

Misc:

• Updated the cy.request() error message when conflicting failOnStatusCode
  and retryOnStatusCodeFailure options are passed to be clearer. Fixes
  #18271.

  selecting Electron browser in cypress open from 91.0.4472.164 to
  93.0.4577.58.
