7.2.0

Released Released on April 25, 2021

Features:

  • You can now navigate through folders in the Test Runner using the Tab keyboard input and open or close the folder's content with the Enter & Space keyboard inputs. Addresses #3741.

Performance:

  • Fixed a regression in 7.0.0 that caused tests to run slowly, especially when run with constrained CPU resources. Fixes #15853.

  • Reusing cy.intercept() aliases will now work as expected. Fixes #15823.

  • Fixed an issue in 7.0 where users could get a misleading "must pass a handler as the 3rd argument" error when using cy.intercept. Fixes #16117.

  • Hovering over a command log without a snapshot will no longer cause the error Cannot read property 'name' of null. Fixes #15816.

  • We now throw an error when attempting to .select() an <option> within a disabled <fieldset>. Fixes #5951.
