cy.visit() on SPA redirected

[zts3y]

Current behavior:

Using simply a cy.visit() to browse to a URL that happens to be a single page application, the page will render in the runner before quickly being redirected to a base url of __ and the runner losing connection and reporting "Whoops, there is no test to run." In normal Chrome browser, a redirect is not observed.

Desired behavior:

URL should not change, or if a redirect is common for this tool to function, it should be followed and tests continue to run.

Steps to reproduce: (app code and test code)

cy.visit('https://www.medicare.gov/physiciancompare');

Terminal will report:

GET /physiciancompare/ 302 2.960 ms - 52
GET /__/ 200 4.412 ms - -

Versions

Cypress: 3.1.5
Windows 10

I am able to recreate this. I notice that a location popup comes up directly before it go to the 'Whoops' page - I don't think that is related, but there is an issue open to disable the dialog here: #2671

I notice you logged a 302 redirect. Can you share the code of how you are performing the actual redirect? It's possible that you're redirecting from window.top instead of window which would cause this behavior.

Thanks @jennifer-shehane. I don't think the geolocation request is related as I've seen the same behavior on other applications without that feature. I'm working to get more information regarding the redirect now.

Hey @jennifer-shehane I have the same problem, if you want to see it to get more information I can show you.

@jennifer-shehane, I heard back from folks that would know the answer to the redirect question. There is nothing on the hosting end that would cause this, and no rules existed that would present this behavior without it also being visible when examining it manually in a browser.

I tested my application locally, and Cypress works as expected there though.

@jennifer-shehane so don't have a solution for this problem? I really want to make some tests with cypress.

[jennifer-shehane]

@suellenz You are welcome to forward any information directly to support@cypress.io in reference to this bug

@jennifer-shehane Thank you so much, I'm going to try again and make more some tests and if I still have with same problem I'll forward the bug to the support just like you suggested me.

Hi there, I have the same issue of "Whoops, there is no test to run."
I have installed cypress per project, did not touch cypress.json, and started with npx cypress open.

When I run actions.spec.js with a modified visit URL - https://www.portail-autoentrepreneur.fr I get the error message. It does work with other websites though. This website is made with VUE SSR.

Anyone encountered this issue of no tests to run?

thanks

@electronrecord Typically we've seen this issue when clicking on links that have target=_parent #3121 but there are some other issues open as well.
