Cypress test keep looping when I run test on localhost

[madebymt]

Version:

• Cypress: Version 13.2.0 (13.2.0.2353610)
• Chrome: v123
• Mac: MacOS Ventura v13.5.1

How to reproduce:

1. I open cypress app on my mac
2. Select the repo I want to run cypress test
3. Take me to the http://localhost:58155/__/#/specs page to select the test I want to run
4. After I click it, I get this infinity loop for my test.
   

My code:
home.cy.js

describe('Default load page without token', () => {
  it('displays error page with try again', () => {
    cy.visit('http://localhost:8080');
    cy.wait(2000);
    cy.get('div[type="Button"]').should('have.length', 3);
  });
});

cypress config

module.exports = defineConfig({
  retries: 2,
  video: true,
  defaultCommandTimeout: 5000,
  viewportWidth: 1920,
  viewportHeight: 1080,

  // Viewport settings overridden for component tests
  component: {
    viewportWidth: 1920,
    viewportHeight: 1080,
  },
});

I tried to comment out all my cypress.config file, no changes, I only have one test.
Thanks for the help.

Are any files being written to during the test run? I've seen before in a test that modified a file in the cypress watched files list. I stopped it by setting watchForFileChanges to false in the config file.

I solved this problem by adding the config chromeWebSecurity: true in cypress.config.ts

The problem occurs because Cypress is on https.
If you manually change the url to http the problem does not happen.
