Cypress is reloading the page in the loop issue

[chandlerr88]

Hi,
I have a weird issue. While I'm starting a test for a specific URL then the page is reloading itself infinitely. Here is an example:

2023-09-06.at.12-12-02.mp4

On the video I indicated https URL, because I didn't enter https anywhere, just http.
Another interesting thing is the test does not work just on CHROME. And just on my computer.

I have tried to remove all cookies/cache/uninstalled cypress. Nothing helped.

Any clue?

Hey i also got this and I think its connected to this https://blog.chromium.org/2023/08/towards-https-by-default.html. What worked for me is manually changing the URL in the cypress-controlled browser to change the https:// to http://. I also noticed it doesn't happen on MS Edge.

It's possible to hack the Cypress chrome profile to add the domain to an allowed list and I think that would solve it permanently but i've not tried this. Its definitely this new chrome feature that broke it. And I also experience the same as you that it seems to appear sporadically for some people and sometimes vanishes just as sporadically.

You could also try this: https://docs.cypress.io/guides/references/troubleshooting#Clear-Cypress-cache. Which will clear down the chrome profile cypress is using that I think somehow gets into a bad state because of this feature.
