For…" --- # 10.8.0 ReleasedReleased on September 12, 2022 **Features:** - You can now run tests in WebKit, Safari's browser engine, by enabling the [`experimentalWebKitSupport`](/app/references/experiments) experiment and installing [`playwright-webkit`](https://www.npmjs.com/package/playwright-webkit). For more details, read [our blog post](https://www.cypress.io/blog/2022/09/13/cypress-10-8-experimental-run-tests-in-webkit). Addresses [#6422](https://github.com/cypress-io/cypress/issues/6422). **Performance:** - Several minor changes were made to reduce Cypress's memory footprint in the browser in an attempt to improve test times and reduce the likelihood of crashing the launched browser under test. Addressed in [#23708](https://github.com/cypress-io/cypress/pull/23708), [#23729](https://github.com/cypress-io/cypress/pull/23729), [#23737](https://github.com/cypress-io/cypress/pull/23737), and [#23738](https://github.com/cypress-io/cypress/pull/23738). **Bugfixes:** - The Dashboard will now correctly show whether a video of the spec was uploaded to review. Before this change, the Dashboard would shows the error message `The media could not be loaded` when a passing test's video was not uploaded because `videoUploadOnPasses` was `false`. Fixes [#2939](https://github.com/cypress-io/cypress/issues/2939). - Fixed an issue where the stack traces in `run` mode did not match the stack traces shown in `open` mode. Now, in the terminal, users will see the source map line and column number in the error stack trace. Fixes [#7715](https://github.com/cypress-io/cypress/issues/7715). - Fixed a bug where projects using Node.js 16.17+ and 18.6+ with ES Modules and TypeScript were not working with Cypress. Fixes [#22795](https://github.com/cypress-io/cypress/issues/22795), [#23393](https://github.com/cypress-io/cypress/issues/23393), and [#23552](https://github.com/cypress-io/cypress/issues/23552). - When searching for specs we now normalize OS-specific path separators so that Windows users can use back- and forward-slashes. Fixes [#23426](https://github.com/cypress-io/cypress/issues/23426). - Fixed an regression introduced in Cypress [10.3.0](#10-3-0), and further exposed in [10.4.0](#10-4-0), that omitted `same-site` cookies when the URL Scheme, Domain, and Top Level Domain matched, but the ports are different (i.e. same-site). Fixes [#23132](https://github.com/cypress-io/cypress/issues/23132). - Autoscrolling of the command log can no longer become disabled in `run` mode. This fixes an issue observed where the reporter randomly stops scrolling during a video recording and the Command log details are not visible. Fixes [#16098](https://github.com/cypress-io/cypress/issues/16098) and [#22199](https://github.com/cypress-io/cypress/issues/22199). - The `cypress/react18` [`cy.mount()`](/app/component-testing/react/overview) command's yielded rerender function has been updated to only create one `ReactDom.Root` element. This fixes the issue where state did not persist between rerenders, and all lifecycle hooks were reran when executed. Fixes [#23357](https://github.com/cypress-io/cypress/issues/23357). - Fixed a regression introduced in Cypress [10.0.0](#10-0-0) where Cypress was incompatible with Chrome v64 - v70. Fixes [#23509](https://github.com/cypress-io/cypress/issues/23509). - Fixes an issue where outdated organization and project information could be shown in dialogs when connecting a project to the Cypress Dashboard. Fixes [#23538](https://github.com/cypress-io/cypress/issues/23538). - The `Sec-Fetch-Dest` [metadata request header](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Glossary/Fetch_metadata_request_header) is now set to `document` when the request is sent from the Application Under Test when the [`experimentalModifyObstructiveThirdPartyCode`](/app/references/experiments#Configuration) experiment is enabled. This was updated to prevent Google Authentication from returning `403 forbidden` in Edge and Electron. Fixes [#23720](https://github.com/cypress-io/cypress/pull/23720). - Correctly override the Electron `userAgent`when the [`userAgent`](/app/references/configuration#Browser) configuration option is provided or [`experimentalModifyObstructiveThirdPartyCode`](/app/references/experiments#Configuration) experiment is enabled. Fixes [#23597](https://github.com/cypress-io/cypress/issues/23597). - Fix regression introduced by Cypress [10.0.0](#10-0-0) where the `before:spec` plugin event was not triggered in `open` mode when the [`experimentalInteractiveRunEvents`](/app/references/experiments#Configuration) experiment was enabled. Fixed #22360. - Fixed a regression introduced in [10.4.0](#10-4-0) where referencing an aliased custom command would return undefined. Fixes [#23652](https://github.com/cypress-io/cypress/issues/23652). - Users can now log into the Dashboard from the "Choose a browser" page of the Launchpad even if a browser is not open. Fixes [#23779](https://github.com/cypress-io/cypress/issues/23779). - Fixed a bug where the `cypress/svelte` [`cy.mount()`](/app/component-testing/svelte/overview) command was not logging by default. Fixed in [#23771](https://github.com/cypress-io/cypress/pull/23771). - Fixed an issue where setting the [`testIsolation`](/app/references/configuration#Global) configuration at the suite-level would throw on the second test. Fixes [#23644](https://github.com/cypress-io/cypress/issues/23644). - Removed misleading dependency warning in Launchpad for Next.js applications using component testing. Fixes [#23598](https://github.com/cypress-io/cypress/pull/23598). - Added [`modifyObstructiveCode`](/app/references/configuration#Browser) TypeScript types. Fixes [#22146](https://github.com/cypress-io/cypress/issues/22146). - Assertions will no longer 'vibrate' in the command log when asserting on the text of elements with trailing whitespace. Fixed in [#23727](https://github.com/cypress-io/cypress/pull/23727). **Misc:** - There were some minor improvements made to the UI when configuration files are created for a project when using the Project Setup workflow. Addressed in [#21847](https://github.com/cypress-io/cypress/issues/21847), [#23260](https://github.com/cypress-io/cypress/issues/23260) and [#23710](https://github.com/cypress-io/cypress/issues/23710).
