Bugfixes:

  • Fixed a regression in 4.0.2 where Cypress could throw a "Maximum call stack size exceeded" error when transmitting a circular object over the internal WebSocket. Fixes #6582.

  • We fixed an issue where using Chromium-family browsers could cause Cypress to throw a "WebSocket is not open: readyState 3" error under certain conditions. Fixes #5685.

  • We now more thoroughly ensure the parent of an element exists when recursively calling visibility and existence checks in order to prevent some maximum call stack errors. Fixes #4373.

Misc:
