4.3.0

Released Released on March 29, 2020

Features:

  • Errors shown in the Test Runner have a new design including an expandable stack trace, better highlighting of code elements, and 'Learn more' links that link to relevant Cypress documentation. This is part of our larger improvements to error display with more exciting features to come. Addresses #3762.

  • When you open a Cypress project, clicking on the Settings tab and clicking into the Experiments panel will display the experimental features that are available and whether they are enabled for your project.

  • Added support for setting cookie sameSite values via cy.setCookie(). Addresses #2437.

  • Added experimental support for adding sameSite values to the objects yielded from cy.setCookie(), cy.getCookie(), and cy.getCookies(). Users can enable this by setting the experimentalGetCookiesSameSite configuration value to true. In Cypress 5, this will be the default. Addresses #2437.

  • Added support for the SameSite cookie attribute in cy.request(), cy.visit(), and proxied HTTP requests. Addresses #6757.

  • When an assertion is retried (using .should()) and fails, it now shows the diff in the stdout. Addresses #6722.

Bugfixes:

  • Fixed a regression in 4.2.0 where cypress installation could fail if Git is not installed. Fixes #6752.

  • Fixed a regression in 3.5.0 where certain HTTP requests could fail with Parse Error: Invalid header value char or Parse Error: Header overflow. Fixes #5602.

  • Fixed a regression in 4.2.0 where Electron deprecation warnings were printed to stderr in open mode. Fixes #6750.

  • Cookies set with a Domain containing an unknown TLD are now sent along for all requests. For example, a cookie like foo=bar; Domain=.cypress.test will now be sent during cy.request() to http://local.cypress.test. Fixes #6628.

  • We fixed a situation where a cross-origin errors could incorrectly throw in Chrome. Fixes #5270.

  • Visibility checks against vue-fragment elements no longer throw an unexpected error. Fixes #6745.

  • The previously used spec filter in the Test Runner is now saved and restored for projects without an ID.Addresses #6739.

  • We collect more env information from Travis builds for potential use in the Cypress Dashboard. Addresses #6808.
