Installing Cypress on your system now requires Node.js 14, 16 or + 18+. Addressed in [#24885](https://github.com/cypress-io/cypress/pull/24885). +- Cypress has always recommended writing tests in a clean context. In Cypress + 12, we enforce running tests in a clean browser context through + [test isolation](/guides/core-concepts/writing-and-organizing-tests#Test-Isolation). + This option is configurable, but is enabled by default. Whether enabled or + disabled, this changes how Cypress cleans up the browser context before each + test and you may experience test errors with this upgrade. To better + understand the full impact of this change, please review the + [migration guide](/guides/references/migration-guide#test-isolation). + - In Cypress v12, the `testIsolation` configuration values have changed from + `on` or `off` to `true` or `false`. Addressed in + [#24935](https://github.com/cypress-io/cypress/pull/24935). +- The `experimentalSessionAndOrigin` configuration option has been removed and + all functionality associated with this experiment is now enabled by default, + with the exception of using `require` and `import` with callback supplied to + the [`cy.origin()`](/api/commands/origin) command.

Addresses + [#21471](https://github.com/cypress-io/cypress/issues/21471). +- The `Cookies.defaults` and `Cookies.preserveOnce` APIs have been removed.

Addresses [#21472](https://github.com/cypress-io/cypress/issues/21472). -- The` cy.server()` and` cy.route()` commands and the `Cypress.Server.defaults` - API has been removed. Use [`cy.intercept()`(/api/commands/intercept) instead. - Addressed in [#24411](https://github.com/cypress-io/cypress/pull/24411). +- The `cy.server()` and `cy.route()` commands have been removed. Additionally, + the corresponding `Cypress.Server.defaults` API has also been removed. Use the + [`cy.intercept()`(/api/commands/intercept) command to stub network responses + and requests. Addresses + [#22126](https://github.com/cypress-io/cypress/issues/22126). +- The Cookie commands now uses the `hostname` as the domain by default instead + of the `superdomain`. This change aligns Cypress' cookie rules with the + browser cookie rules. This may affect what cookies are returned by + [`cy.getCookie()`](/api/commands/getcookie), what cookies are set with + [`cy.setCookie()`](/api/commands/setcookie), and the cookies cleared with + [`cy.clearCookies()`](/api/commands/clearcookies).

This change adds + consistency around how `.within()` behaves across commands. Previously some + commands inside a `.within()` callback would silently select the first + element, while others would use all of the previously yielded subjects, and + others would throw an error. Addressed in + [#24975](https://github.com/cypress-io/cypress/pull/24975). +- Cypress now throws an error if any Cypress commands are invoked from inside a + [`.should()`](/api/commands/should) callback.

If you wish to call a method that returns + a promise and wait for it to resolve, use [`.then()`](/api/commands/then) + instead of `.invoke()`. Addressed in + [#24417](https://github.com/cypress-io/cypress/pull/24417). +- The [`cy.request()`](/api/commands/request) command now uses + [`querystringify`](https://www.npmjs.com/package/querystringify) to stringify + & parse the `qs` options. This change aligns with how the + [`cy.visit()`](/api/commands/visit) command generates urls with query + parameters. Addressed in + [#20302](https://github.com/cypress-io/cypress/pull/20302). + +**Features:** + +- Added a new configuration option called `testIsolation`, which defaults to + `true`.

Addresses + [#24276](https://github.com/cypress-io/cypress/issues/24276). +- Added a new configuration option called + [`experimentalOriginDependencies`](guides/references/experiments#End-to-End-Testing), + which defaults to `false`. This option enables support for `require` and + `import` within the callback supplied to the + [`cy.origin()`](/api/commands/origin) command in end-to-end testing. + Previously this feature was enabled through the `experimentalSessionAndOrigin` + configuration option. `experimentalOriginDependencies` was added as a + configuration option in Cypress 12, instead of being enabled by default, due + to increased Node.js memory usage associated with this option that needs to be + addressed before making this behavior generally available. See issue + [#24976](https://github.com/cypress-io/cypress/issues/24976) for more + information. Addressed in + [#24931](https://github.com/cypress-io/cypress/pull/24931). +- Added a new `Cypress.ensure` API which provides several methods that can be + helpful when writing customs commands. Addressed in + [#24697](https://github.com/cypress-io/cypress/pull/24697). +- Added a new "Run All" button to the + [`experimentalRunAllSpecs`](guides/references/experiments#End-to-End-Testing) + experiment which enables running all spec files returned from the + `specPattern` glob or an array of globs, regardless of the specs sharing a + root folder. Addresses + [#24759](https://github.com/cypress-io/cypress/issues/24759). +- Further improved bundling in the binary to reduce startup and unzip time. + Addressed in [#24909](https://github.com/cypress-io/cypress/pull/24909) + +**Bugfixes:** + +- Fixed a regression in [10.11.0](#10-11-0) where the Launchpad no longer showed + a loading spinner on startup to indicate that it had successfully started and + was in a loading state. Fixed + [#24950](https://github.com/cypress-io/cypress/issues/24950). +- Fixed the "Create Spec from Component" capability to correctly scaffold the + component spec from a component which contains special characters in its name. + Before this change, a spec was scaffolded with either the wrong spec name or + the incorrect component import which led to invalid JS errors. Fixes + [#23492](https://github.com/cypress-io/cypress/issues/23492). +- Corrected Cypress environment variable resolution to correctly resolve + environment variables set with `npm config set`. Fixes + [#24556](https://github.com/cypress-io/cypress/issues/24556). +- When + [`experimentalRunAllSpecs=true`](guides/references/experiments#End-to-End-Testing), + the "Run N specs" directory-level buttons in the Inline Specs List now + function correctly when activated by the keyboard. Fixes + [#24762](https://github.com/cypress-io/cypress/pull/24762). +- Fixed unexpected behaviors when verifying a cookie was not returned from + [`cy.getCookie()`](/api/commands/getcookie). Now it's possible to explicitly + assert the cookie did not exist with + `cy.getCookie('foo1').should('not.exist')`. Previously users had to verify + cookies properties did not exist with `.its('value').should('equal', null)`. + Addressed in [#24203](https://github.com/cypress-io/cypress/pull/24203). +- Fixed the console output returned from clicking on an aliased intercept in the + Command Log. It now logs the yielded request/response object associated to the + intercepted call when clicked, where previously it did not log these details. + Fixed in [#24623](https://github.com/cypress-io/cypress/pull/24623).
