v6.7.0: 6.7.0

Compare Source

Released 3/15/2021

Features:

• The experimentalRunEvents configuration flag has been removed. You can now listen to before:run, after:run, before:spec and after:spec events in the plugins file without needing the experimentalRunEvents configuration option. See the before:run, after:run, before:spec and after:spec docs for more information. Addressed in #​15276.
• When canceling a run from the Dashboard, previously only parallelized runs would cancel correctly. Now all recorded runs will respect cancelation and exit early. Addresses #​1691.
• Test configuration is now captured and sent when recording to the Dashboard. Addresses #​15487.
• Cypress now sends test details to the Dashboard at the beginning of a recorded run, so historical test code and other data can be provided to the Dashboard upfront. Addressed in #​14925.
• The full stack trace from errors thrown in the preprocessor are now displayed. Addressed in #​15198.
• Configuration values which are changed at runtime prior to tests running are now properly shown as resolved from the spec code within the Module API to indicate where the change originated from. Addresses #​15486.

• Empty jQuery objects are now properly shown in error messages in the Command Log. Fixes #​14279.
• Length assertions on DOM elements now properly show the user-defined assertion message if specified. Fixes #​14484.
