cy.origin test hangs when visiting inside a cy.origin block

[mjhenkes]

Current behavior

A simple test to visit cypress.io in a cypress.io cy.origin block hangs.

Desired behavior

The test should not hang.

Test code to reproduce

it('navigates', () => {
  cy.origin('https://www.cypress.io/', () => {
    cy.visit('https://www.cypress.io/')
    cy.url().should('eq', 'https://www.cypress.io/')
  })
})

Cypress Version

9.6.1

It looks like tests inside of https://www.google.com also hang, but looks related to accessing a cross origin parent frame referencing window.top. Setting chromeWebSecurity to false seems to fix the issue.

sample test looks something like this:

  it('go to google', () => {
    cy.visit('/fixtures/primary-origin.html')
    cy.get('a[data-cy="request-link-to-google"]').click()
    cy.origin('https://www.google.com', () => {
      cy.url().should('eq', 'https://www.google.com/')
    })
  })

I've got a similar case of using 'origin' and it hangs. No errors, just doesn't proceed. I use this for a login page, which sometimes works and sometimes hangs.

Any update?

@etavenerInmarsat are you using Google Chrome to visit google.com inside cy.origin? That currently doesn't work for a different reason related to #22987

This test works except for the uncaught exception thrown by the cypress.io webpage. Handling that exception allows the test to pass without hanging:

it('navigates', () => {
  cy.origin('https://www.cypress.io/', () => {
    Cypress.on('uncaught:exception', () => {
      return false
    })

    cy.visit('https://www.cypress.io/')
    cy.url().should('eq', 'https://www.cypress.io/')
  })
})
