Cypress prompts you to Continue Download or Quit every so often

[mraible]

Overview of the issue

When running Cypress tests with npm run e2e, every so often, I'm prompted to continue downloading or Quit. If I click Quit, the tests continue and pass as expected.

Motivation for or Use Case

This seems to create a cypress/downloads/downloads.html that is huge! 43MB

Reproduce the error

Create an app with Cypress, run npm run e2e a few times.

Suggest a Fix

At the very least, we should ignore cypress/downloads/downloads.html (or maybe just cypress/) in the generated .gitignore when Cypress is chosen.

@mraible does this happens at the middle of the test or start?

[mraible]

It happens while tests are running, usually at the end of a test.

[mshima]

It’s related to downloading contents inside tests.
I will try to reproduce.

[mshima]

@mraible in what application have you been hit by this problem?
Plain 21-points?

[mraible]

I've seen it in many apps this last couple of weeks. It doesn't seem to matter if it's a monolith or microservices. The web framework doesn't seem to matter either since I've seen it with Vue, Ionic, and even Svelte.

[mshima]

What's the downloads.html content?

[mraible]

@mshima it's 43MB of gibberish as far as I can tell.

[mshima]

@mraible I've tried to reproduce, but I couldn't.
I think this happens when using auth0/okta.
Can you confirm if that's the case?
The file model-info.pbm is identifiable at the image. I don't think it's open source.

[mraible]

We can close this issue and I can re-open it when I have more details. I think the most important thing for now is to ignore this directory so there's not git changes after running npm run e2e.
