after:run isn't triggered when closing the project after cypress open

[TheDutchCoder]

Current behavior

It looks like after:run never triggers.

module.exports = async (on: any, config: { env: { awsConfig: any } }) => {
  // AWS config
  config.env.awsConfig = awsconfig

  on('after:run', () => {
    console.log('cleaning')
    clean()
  })
}

I'm not sure how it's supposed to function, the docs say it should trigger after closing the project (after cypress open), but it doesn't do that.

Maybe these docs are incomplete? It also looks like there's at least a typo here: "You can return a promise from the after:run event handler and it will be awaited before Cypress proceeds running your specs." (I'm sure that means to say after?)

Desired behavior

This trigger to be called.

@TheDutchCoder How are you closing the project via cypress open?

@TheDutchCoder How are you closing the project via cypress open?

I just close the window. I don't think there's another way?

I have the same problem. after:run event is not run when you are using the test runner tool. When you are finished running tests you will close the tool window. At that point I expect cypress to trigger the after:run event.

Is there a reason this issue still is in this state?
I've seen a newer opened issue is the same issue and confirmed.

It is still a real problem, as our DB/user seeds don't get cleaned up currently because of it, making writing tests incredibly hard.

I guess this is where this functionality is triggered: https://github.com/cypress-io/cypress/blob/develop/packages/server/lib/project-base.ts#L343

Since none of this is try/catched, I think something throws and it never hits the hook at the end?

It's probably a good idea to do a try/catch/finally with the hook running in the finally clause?

same issue here!

Did anybody find a workaround for this until the issue is addressed and fixed?

[Alm0g]

Any news regarding this issue?

[xavbourdeau]

Same issue here. Any workaround ?

Setting experimentalInteractiveRunEvents flag to true is also not triggering the after:run.

Tried closing the browser but no luck with the same. after:spec works fine. There is issue with after:run IMO.

Ran into this as well. It is causing issues with data cleanup.

[funador]

Same as everyone else, want to tear some data down post-run but can't :/ If anyone has a workaround, please post it up 🙏

This issue has not had any activity in 180 days. Cypress evolves quickly and the reported behavior should be tested on the latest version of Cypress to verify the behavior is still occurring. It will be closed in 14 days if no updates are provided.

Did anybody find a workaround? This bug still seems to exist even in the latest Cypress version
