Resurfacing of command 'must only be invoked from the spec file or support file.'

[RobHannay]

Current behavior

• Running selectFile with action: 'drag-drop' throws Error: CypressError: cy.selectFile() must only be invoked from the spec file or support file.

Desired behavior

Fixture would be 'dropped' on the file input without erroring

Test code to reproduce

https://github.com/RobHannay/cypress-test-tiny

  cy.get('input[type=file]')
    .first()
    .selectFile('cypress/fixtures/videos/Koala1.mp4', { force: true }, { action: 'drag-drop' });

Sorry to see you're encountering this issue. Thanks for reporting it with a reproduction.

cy.selectFile() only takes one options argument, so this can be fixed by calling it like so:

cy.get('input[type=file]')
    .first()
    .selectFile('cypress/fixtures/videos/Koala1.mp4', { force: true, action: 'drag-drop' });

Regardless, calling it with an extra argument should not trigger that error, so this is a bug that we'll look into fixing.

Still able to reproduce #27099 via cypress-localstorage-commands.

Ah, of course!! 🤦 Thanks @chrisbreiding. Will leave this open as I guess a change in 12.15/12.16 has started causing this to error
