9.6.0

Released Released on April 24, 2022

Features:

  • Now you can easily test multi-domain workflows by using the experimental cy.origin() command. This feature allows you to test across different origins or domains within a single test. This experiment was designed to work side-by-side with the cy.session() experimental feature. You can turn on use of this command by setting the experimentalSessionAndOrigin configuration option to true. For more details, read our blog post. Addressed #17336 and #944.

    • Added a new configuration option called experimentalSessionAndOrigin. This option enables support for cy.session() and cy.origin() for end-to-end testing.

    • The experimentalSessionSupport configuration option has been removed and replaced by the experimentalSessionAndOrigin configuration option. Please update your configuration to use the new experimentalSessionAndOrigin option to continue to opt-in to this experimental feature.

    • When experimentalSessionAndOrigin is enabled, cross-origin requests will no longer immediately fail, but instead, time out based on the pageLoadTimeout configuration. This allows the request to be appropriately handled by the cy.origin() command.

    • When experimentalSessionAndOrigin is enabled, Cypress will no longer wait on page loads between hooks before moving on to the next test.

Bugfixes:

  • Fixed an issue with Firefox 98+ where the Enter keystroke was not being sent to an input element when using .type('{enter}'). Fixed #21033.

  • We now verify if an interruption while running tests was signaled by the user or if it came from an error in a plugin before showing the error message. Fixed #21010.

  • Improved the error message observed on Windows platforms when unzipping the Cypress binary and the max file length is exceeded. Fixed in #21047.

  • Updated the Cypress.Commands.add() TypeScript types to better reflect the attributes of the .add() utility and the JQuery element, a possible previous subject type. #20376.

Dependency Updates:

  • Upgraded electron dependency from 15.3.5 to 15.5.1 to consume fixes related to improve performance on macOS Big Sur and later. Addressed #21068.
