I think I've found an issue with cy.session(), but before opening one in the GitHub wanted to hear your ideas on my problem itself:
Implemented cy.session(), and it worked! For most of the pages...
The issue is with pages with <select> elements. After session() was implemented, the cy.select() stopped working. It chose the right option, and then it went right back to the previously selected option. The strangest thing is that is not seen even in the DOM snapshots. Removing cy.session() made everything work again.
So, my question is:
Does it feel like a cypress bug? Has anyone encountered this issue and got it somehow resolved? Cannot imagine any way how cy.selecting elements is related to sessions.
EDIT:
After further investigation, I found that selecting a page option changes one specific cookie value. This cookie has the page type code, thus I think that the new value is not saved to the cookie as it was before without cy.session()
Manually selecting in the browser from cypress open doesn't work either! After discovering that, I am pretty sure that it is the cypress bug.
As it was requested, here is my code:
commands.ts
Cypress.Commands.add('login', (user: User) => {
return cy.session(
[user.api_key],
() => {
cy.request({
...
});
},
{
validate() {
cy.visit('/');
cy.contains(user.username, { matchCase: false });
},
cacheAcrossSpecs: true,
}
);
});
e2e.ts
beforeEach(() => {
cy.getCurrentUser().then((user) => {
cy.login(user);
});
});
