file download not working in electron

[sharky910]

Current behavior

I am getting the same issue as #14747 but on 9.5.3, when using my cucumber test to download the file cypress is crashing (using Electron).

This is the test I have written:

and the error I am getting:

I have been removing the target so the second page does not open and it all opens on one page and this has worked for other fields but not this xlsx file.

Desired behavior

Download the XLSX file to a Download Folder without crashing

Test code to reproduce

import {Then} from "cypress-cucumber-preprocessor/steps";

Then(`I click on button {string}`, (button) => {
    switch(button){
        case "Download Guide":
        cy.get('.fa-download').invoke('removeAttr', 'target').click();
        break;

I have the same issue but without removing target attribute:
cy.get('.cta-button').click()

When I add removeAttr:
cy.get('.cta-button').invoke('removeAttr', 'target').click() I get timeout:
Timed out after waiting 60000ms for your remote page to load

I am getting this issue on cypress 10.10.0. I was before on 9.5.3 and it wasn't reproducing. The whole cypress process dies. Removing target blank only improves this by not crashing cypress, but download still doesn't work.

I'm having the same issue in Cypress 10.4.0.

Test:

cy.get('[class="ti-new-window"]').eq(0).click().then(() => {
cy.verifyDownload();
})

Result:
Error: ERR_FAILED (-2) loading '------/download'
