Having
numTestsKeptInMemory
set to a low number can make local debugging usingcy:open
difficult. Normally you can hover over steps to see the state of the DOM in each one. However, when the number of tests in the current test file exceed the value ofnumTestsKeptInMemory
, you well start seeing message sayingThe snapshot is missing. Displaying current state of the DOM
for the first tests in the file.After inspecting the Cypress docs, it turns out that the default behaviour is actually what we want:
This way we should not encounter out-of-memory errors on CI (which uses
cypress run
), and we should be able to visually debug tests locally usingcypress open
