Cypress tests are flaky

Open iamleeg opened this issue 2 years ago • 1 comments

The Cypress tests (end-to-end browser tests, in the Curator UI) have inconsistent results which is slowing down development.

  • different developers get different results from the same tests
  • test results different in CI and on developer laptops
  • Firefox tests have been flakey since FF 98 (thanks @jim-sheldon for isolating that cause)
  • failures reported in common, unchanged parts of the code (e.g. @material-ui/core components)

We need to be able to run these tests reliably and repeatably to trust their output and use them to move fast, and have stable infrastructure to build out automated tests for e.g. the Map.
