The .selectFile command does not work from an aliased fixture

[wlsf82]

Current behavior

The file is not selected when using an aliased fixture, as follows on the docs of the new .selectFile command (on the From a fixture section.)

Desired behavior

The file should correctly be selected from an aliased fixture.

Test code to reproduce

https://github.com/wlsf82/cy-hands-on-select-file/blob/main/cypress/integration/selectFile.spec.js#L21

Note: To test it out, change the test from .skip() to .only().

The current implementation stores the fixture file contents, but does not persist the file name when you alias it - which your test is asserting on.

This isn't a great experience, and we'll be resolving it in 9.4.0 - the fixture filename will be preserved through an alias. I'll have a PR up in a few minutes here.

The code for this is done in cypress-io/cypress#19820, but has yet to be released.
We'll update this issue and reference the changelog when it's released.

Released in 9.4.0.
