What you were expecting:
Cypress tests should run cleanly, without throwing errors related to ResizeObserver. Right now, we’re relying on a workaround that just suppresses these errors, but ideally, we’d have a proper mock in place to handle the behavior correctly.

What happened instead:
When running tests in Cypress, we’re seeing the error:
“ResizeObserver loop completed with undelivered notifications.”
To get around it, we’ve added a handler in cypress/support/index.js that catches and ignores the error using Cypress.on('uncaught:exception'). While this avoids test failures, it’s not a long-term fix and could mask real issues.

Steps to reproduce:

Run any test that uses components which trigger resize events (e.g., list.cy.js or edit.cy.js)

Open the Cypress test runner and look at the console output

Notice the ResizeObserver-related warning appearing but being caught and ignored

Related code:
Here’s the current workaround in cypress/support/index.js:

js
Copy
Edit
Cypress.on('uncaught:exception', err => {
if (
err.message.includes(
'ResizeObserver loop completed with undelivered notifications'
)
) {
return false;
}
});
Other information:

This is tied to known Cypress issues:

cypress-io/cypress#20341

cypress-io/cypress#29277

Ignoring the error avoids failing tests but isn't reliable or ideal

The better approach would be to mock ResizeObserver behavior properly

I’ve put together a working mock and plan to submit a PR with the fix soon
