4.12.0

Released Released on August 2, 2020

Features:

Now you can control whether screenshots are automatically taken on test failure during cypress run by setting screenshotOnRunFailure in your configuration. Addresses #5029.
The pluginsFile now has access to a readonly version property within the config object that returns the current Cypress version being run. This will allow plugins to better target specific Cypress versions. Addresses #6352.
During cypress open, you can now run a subset of all specs by entering a text search filter and clicking 'Run n tests' Addresses #6581.

Bugfixes:

position: fixed elements that have a parent with pointer-events: none will now correctly evaluate as visible. Fixes #6675.
Applications using custom elements will no longer trigger infinite XHR request loops. Fixes #1068.
When snapshotting the DOM, Cypress no longer causes attributeChangedCallback to be triggered on custom elements. Fixes #7187.
Spec files containing + characters now properly run in Cypress. Fixes #5909.
When using the fx shortcut in cy.route(), an error is now thrown when the fixture file cannot be found. Fixes #7818.
Cypress no longer thrown Cannot read property '__error' of null error when passing a file containing null content to cy.fixture(). Fixes #8010.
Values containing exponential operators passed to --env via the command line are now properly read. Fixes #6891.
The "Open in IDE" button no longer disappears from hooks when the tests are manually rerun. Fixes #8094.
When experimentalSourceRewriting is enabled, AST rewriting will no longer return an output before the body is done being written. This would happen when the response body was too large and the response would be sent while the body was still being modified. Fixes #8043.
When using .type(), Cypress now properly types into an input within an iframe that auto focuses the input. Fixes #8111.

We now collect environment variables for AWS CodeBuild when recording to the Dashboard. Addressed #8101.
Types inside Module API are now accessible via the CypressCommandLine namespace. Addresses #7309.
We added more type definitions for the .should() command. Addresses #5573.
Cookie command's expiry property type is now a Number instead of a String. Addresses #8144.
There are some minor visual improvements to the Test Runner's Command Log when hovering, focusing and clicking on hook titles and pending tests. Addressed in #8153.
