Cypress on a Mac

Discussions
1

I have recently started at a company as the only tester on the team. They have been great in giving me free rein to choose a framework.

After doing some research, I thought Cypress would be suitable for maintaining and creating tests over time. But I am stuck most horribly.

My framework is up and running and I have followed the Page Object Model class creation. But the problem is each time I npm run Cypress: Open, the Cypress app freezes or load time takes a long time to respond after clicking on a spec to run.

I am working on a Macbook Pro 13" 2022 M2 16GB, so, in essence, I should not be having any issues.

Please share your tips and tricks with me. I am an experienced Selenium framework automation tester, but as mentioned, I thought this would be the perfect time to learn a new framework.

If you could spare some more info I may be able to help.

  • What version of Cypress do you use?
  • When did it start to freeze? From the beginning?
  • Does it happen when you do npx cypress open and run it visually or only on cypress run?

Update: This issue has been resolved and my Cypress is back to normal. Having a lot of fun with it. I think it was a version issue for sure.
