Interesting - the exit code after the crash is 0

$ echo $?
0

[bahmutov]

Assigning @flotwig for now because the last meaningful error message is about cookies

[bahmutov]

Very interesting: the crash happens when the base url is set in cypress.json

{
  "baseUrl": "https://www.theguardian.com/uk"
}

and the test just does cy.visit('/')

The crash does NOT happen when I move the full url out of cypress.json file

{}

cy.visit('https://www.theguardian.com/uk')

[bahmutov]

on related note: sometimes people report that on CI Cypress crashes, but the exit code is still 0 - like here. This might be related to the above crash in the sense that the browser crashes, yet CLI does not know it and exits with 0

Just tested this with the changes in #5478 and it appears that this is resolved with those changes! 🎉

[cypress-bot]

The code for this is done in cypress-io/cypress#5478, but has yet to be released.
We'll update this issue and reference the changelog when it's released.

[cypress-bot]

Released in 3.6.1.
