Bug

Current behavior:

Cypress application is Crashing and shutting down.

Desired behavior:

It should not crash

How to reproduce:

Just running the following test.

Following is the cypress.json file

{
	"baseUrl" : "https://qaserver.flqa.net",
	"defaultCommandTimeout": 60000,
	"screenshotOnHeadlessFailure" : false,
	"videoRecording": false,
	"chromeWebSecurity": false
}

Test code:

describe('Test Module - Testing ', () => {
	it('Visit the Url', () => {
		cy.visit('/ec-forms');
		cy.wait(10000);
	})

	it('Logging In', () => {
		let userNameField = '#Username';
		let passwordField = '#Password';
		let loginButton = '#qa-button-login';
		cy.get(userNameField, { timeout: 10000 })
			.should('be.visible')
			.type('ectester3');
		cy.get(passwordField, { timeout: 10000 })
			.should('be.visible')
			.type('a12ds34567{enter}');
	})	
})

Additional Info (images, stack traces, etc)

Cypress is crashing so i am not been able to capture stack trace.

Our application has iframe, i am suspecting that Cypress also create an iframe which might be conflicting with other iframe and Cypress is crashing.

Cypress works just fine on iframes.

When you say crashing what exactly do you mean? Like the browser quits and Cypress literally crashes?

Or you just see an error in the browser?

Can you take a screenshot / record a video?

[hamzazaidi]

Cypress crashes and getting close. I am unable to get any stack trace. I tried to run in the CLI and record the run,

Here is the link of the video i recorded.

In our app we are hard redirecting and loosing the Cypress completely and Cypress is crashing.
In this video you can see the Url on the Chrome instance changes and after that Cypress crashes.

[hamzazaidi]

In our login process with do lots of redirections, server send's down status code 302 and does redirection, is it possible that redirection is causing the problem how Cypress works?
Outside the Cypress login works fine and we have Protractor test's which works fine also.

@brian-mann If i change the test mentioned above to the following, it works. Is there any explanation about this behavior?

describe('Test Module - Testing ', () => {	
	it('Logging In', () => {
		let userNameField = '#Username';
		let passwordField = '#Password';
		let loginButton = '#qa-button-login';
                cy.visit('/ec-forms');
		cy.get(userNameField, { timeout: 10000 })
			.should('be.visible')
			.type('ectester3');
		cy.get(passwordField, { timeout: 10000 })
			.should('be.visible')
			.type('a12ds34567{enter}');
	})	
})

I've been unable to recreate this issue. Please reopen this issue and give a reproducible example if this is still occurring.

I still see the system getting shutdown frequently when some error occurs in cypress. One such reproducible instance is when the element could not be found resulting in timeout error -

If you're experiencing a bug similar to this in Cypress, please open a new issue with a fully reproducible example that we can run. There may be a specific edge case with the issue that we need more detail to fix.
