chore(deps): Updating electron to v18 + node v16.13.2 #21418

tbiethman · 2022-05-10T06:59:29Z

User facing changelog

Upgraded electron from 15.5.1 to 18.0.4.
Upgraded bundled Node.js version from 16.5.0 to 16.13.2.
Upgraded bundled Chromium version from 94.0.4606.81 to 100.0.4896.75.

Additional details

The Upgrading Electron guide was followed to produce this PR.

I included inline comments where additional clarification was needed. A few changes of note:

Issues were found with some of the origin related tests in newer versions of Firefox. An issue was logged, and the affected tests have been tweaked to pass in the meantime without being outright skipped.
The workaround added with fix: Improve Big Sur browser detection performance #17807 in regards to browser detection performance has been removed, as the Electron issue causing the slowdown has been corrected.

How has the user experience changed?

There shouldn't be any functional difference in the user experience beyond any changes arising from the bundled Chromium update. If other differences are seen, please raise them.

+        cy.get('button:first').trigger('tap', { animationDistanceThreshold: 1000 }).then(($btn) => {
+          const { fromElWindow } = Cypress.dom.getElementCoordinatesByPosition($btn)


These tests related to animationDistanceThreshold across trigger/type command tests were failing in a similar way in Firefox.

Firefox reports positions/scroll offsets with something like 13 digits of precision. We do a lot rounding in our coordinate logic that could be impacted by this. These tests also seem to be influenced by how the AUT is being scaled; I can get them to pass/fail in develop by running the tests with the AUT scaled at different sizes.

I updated these tests to grab the reference element window coordinates after the element has been scrolled into position, which makes us less susceptible to variances within Firefox's reported scroll position. This allows them to pass consistently without need to add 1px buffers to our assertions.

I wonder if we can use a similar technique to remove this 1px hack for Firefox in 10.0-release? https://github.com/cypress-io/cypress/blob/10.0-release/packages/driver/cypress/e2e/commands/actions/type.cy.js#L360-L377

Firefox now caches input values between reloads, causing this test to fail. Updated to use a window prop that we can be certain will be reset between reloads.

web-config was the only package that didn't have skipLibCheck enabled. I attempted to update our node types to v16 but it seems to cause more problems than it fixed; #21329 was logged to dedicate more time this effort.

web-config is used in several packages btw. What motivated this change?

Bumping to electron 18 caused yarn type-check to fail for this package due to conflicts in some deep transient dependencies. I assume this was due to electron's bumping to @types/node@16: https://github.com/cypress-io/cypress/pull/21418/files#diff-51e4f558fae534656963876761c95b83b6ef5da5103c4adef6768219ed76c2deR8720-R8723. Looks like we might have been inadvertently(?) resolving against v15 before?

My type-config-fu is admittedly weak. It seems like we can resolve the failures if I add an explicit @types/node@14 dependency to this package. Would that be preferred (in the short term, I know going to 16 across the board would be ideal)? My understanding was that this flag forced a check on types we are actually referencing rather than on all dependencies.

Hmm, this seems fine after reading the config doc: https://www.typescriptlang.org/tsconfig#skipLibCheck I don't think you need to change it. The doc says we can use Yarn resolutions maybe to pin it to 14 everywhere, but again, I don't think it's really an issue.

@lmiller1990 I was still able to reproduce #15932 😞 :

tbiethman · 2022-05-10T17:01:13Z

packages/driver/cypress/integration/e2e/origin/origin.spec.ts

          done()
        })

        const variable = () => {}

-        cy.origin('http://idp.com:3500', { args: variable }, (variable) => {
+        cy.origin('http://foobar.com:3500', { args: variable }, (variable) => {


This spec would hang across all browsers when visiting idp.com; switching to foobar.com like all other specs in this file caused the test to pass (well, fail in the way we expect it too). This is odd, but not sure if it's indicative of a larger problem or the same problem recorded in #21300.

tbiethman · 2022-05-10T18:36:46Z

Note: we're currently pinned to electron 18.0.4 because 18.1.0 introduced a breaking change that has since been fixed (within the last day): electron/electron#34150

We should be able to consume the 18.2.2 release when it goes out.

AkechiShiro · 2022-05-10T19:56:23Z

Any news when this dependency bump will happen, I'm just asking for some security related matters (the old dependencies have a few minor issues, nothing really critical)

Maybe soon, in a few weeks or it is still being at an early work of being adopted in the main branch ? Needs a few months of work still ?

tbiethman · 2022-05-10T21:12:58Z

@AkechiShiro I'd anticipate these dependency bumps to be included in our next 9.x release in two weeks.

lmiller1990

Great to see us finally updating electron. I left one comment about a potential update we can make in 10.0-release, that will be landing soon.

@flotwig Regarding #21236, I was planning on following up with a quick PR after merging develop into 10.0-release. I've confirmed that Electron 18 does not show the same issues that 15.5.1 does with the increased verification time.
