Impossible to automate testing

[dandv]

I've trying with Cypress to test a Gatsby using this theme. After getting a JWT programmatically from Auth0, I'm storing storing that in localStorage per this Cypress recipe.

Initially, { isLoggedIn } = useAuth() returns true correctly because it looks in localStorage, but after that, the useEffect in useAuth() calls checkSession, which will fail, and will delete isLoggedIn, effectively logging the user out.

I worked around this issue by setting localStorage.setItem('postLoginUrl', 'https://localhost:8000') in the first then of the login command in cypress. Then setting localStorage.setItem('isLoggedIn', 'true') in onBeforeLoad in the cy.visit() command.

This works in local development of course but I haven't gotten around to setting it up for CI
