# 12.8.0

ReleasedReleased on March 13, 2023

**Features:**

-   The [Debug page](/cloud/features/recorded-runs#Debug) is now able to show real-time results from in-progress runs. Addresses [#25759](https://github.com/cypress-io/cypress/issues/25759).
    
-   Added the ability to control whether a request is logged to the command log via [`cy.intercept()`](/api/commands/intercept) by passing `log: false` or `log: true`. Addresses [#7362](https://github.com/cypress-io/cypress/issues/7362).
    
    -   This can be used to override Cypress's default behavior of logging all XHRs and fetches, see the [example](/api/commands/intercept#Disabling-logs-for-a-request).
        
-   It is now possible to control the number of connection attempts to the browser using the `CYPRESS_CONNECT_RETRY_THRESHOLD` Environment Variable. Learn more [here](/app/references/advanced-installation#Environment-variables). Addressed in [#25848](https://github.com/cypress-io/cypress/pull/25848).
    

**Bugfixes:**

-   Fixed an issue where using `Cypress.require()` would throw the error `Cannot find module 'typescript'`. Fixes [#25885](https://github.com/cypress-io/cypress/issues/25885).
    
-   The [`before:spec`](/api/node-events/before-spec-api) API was updated to correctly support async event handlers in `run` mode. Fixes [#24403](https://github.com/cypress-io/cypress/issues/24403).
    
-   Updated the Component Testing [community framework](/app/component-testing/custom-frameworks) definition detection logic to take into account monorepo structures that hoist dependencies. Fixes [#25993](https://github.com/cypress-io/cypress/issues/25993).
    
-   The onboarding wizard for Component Testing will now detect installed dependencies more reliably. Fixes [#25782](https://github.com/cypress-io/cypress/issues/25782).
    
-   Fixed an issue where Angular components would sometimes be mounted in unexpected DOM locations in component tests. Fixes [#25956](https://github.com/cypress-io/cypress/issues/25956).
    
-   Fixed an issue where Cypress component testing would fail to work with [Next.js](https://nextjs.org/) `13.2.1`. Fixes [#25951](https://github.com/cypress-io/cypress/issues/25951).
    
-   Fixed an issue where migrating a project from a version of Cypress earlier than [10.0.0](#10-0-0) could fail if the project's `testFiles` configuration was an array of globs. Fixes [#25947](https://github.com/cypress-io/cypress/issues/25947).
    

**Misc:**

-   Removed "New" badge in the navigation bar for the debug page icon. Addresses [#25925](https://github.com/cypress-io/cypress/issues/25925).
    
-   Removed inline "Connect" buttons within the Specs Explorer. Addresses [#25926](https://github.com/cypress-io/cypress/issues/25926).
    
-   Added an icon for "beta" versions of the Chrome browser. Addresses [#25968](https://github.com/cypress-io/cypress/issues/25968).
    

**Dependency Updates:**

-   Upgraded [`mocha-junit-reporter`](https://github.com/michaelleeallen/mocha-junit-reporter) from `2.1.0` to `2.2.0` to be able to use [new placeholders](https://github.com/michaelleeallen/mocha-junit-reporter/pull/163) such as `[suiteFilename]` or `[suiteName]` when defining the test report name. Addressed in [#25922](https://github.com/cypress-io/cypress/pull/25922).
