Stack Overflow the ResizeObserver issue in Cypress
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:

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
