# 12.17.0

ReleasedReleased on July 5, 2023

**Features:**

-   Cypress Cloud users can now receive [desktop notifications](/cloud/features/recorded-runs#Notifications) about their runs, including when one starts, finishes, or fails. Addresses [#26686](https://github.com/cypress-io/cypress/issues/26686).
    

**Bugfixes:**

-   Fixed issues where commands would fail with the error `must only be invoked from the spec file or support file`. Fixes [#27149](https://github.com/cypress-io/cypress/issues/27149) and [#27163](https://github.com/cypress-io/cypress/issues/27163).
    
-   Fixed a regression introduced in Cypress [12.12.0](#12-12-0) where Cypress may fail to reconnect to the Chrome DevTools Protocol in Electron. Fixes [#26900](https://github.com/cypress-io/cypress/issues/26900).
    
-   Fixed an issue where chrome was not recovering from browser crashes properly. Fixes [#24650](https://github.com/cypress-io/cypress/issues/24650).
    
-   Fixed a race condition that was causing a GraphQL error to appear on the [Debug page](/cloud/features/recorded-runs#Debug) when viewing a running Cypress Cloud build. Fixed in [#27134](https://github.com/cypress-io/cypress/pull/27134).
    
-   Fixed a race condition in electron where the test window exiting prematurely during the browser launch process was causing the whole test run to fail. Addressed in [#27167](https://github.com/cypress-io/cypress/pull/27167).
    
-   Fixed minor issues with TypeScript types in the CLI. Fixes [#24110](https://github.com/cypress-io/cypress/issues/24110).
    
-   Fixed an issue where a value for the Electron debug port would not be respected if defined using the `ELECTRON_EXTRA_LAUNCH_ARGS` environment variable. Fixes [#26711](https://github.com/cypress-io/cypress/issues/26711).
