Variables set on the window object are undefined with Chrome and Electron

[edgarkanyes]

Current behavior

Variables set on the window object return undefined when accessed from Cypress tests using Chrome and Electron browsers.

Also during Cypress testing, the variables are undefined when accessed from the testing browser console in Firefox, Chrome and Electron.

Desired behavior

The variables set on the window object should not be undefined, both in Cypress and the testing browser console.

Not exactly sure where it could be going wrong for you. I've tested it with both Node v18 and v20. Could it be an environment issue? Which Node version are you using? Also, which OS are you using?

This issue has not had any activity in 180 days. Cypress evolves quickly and the reported behavior should be tested on the latest version of Cypress to verify the behavior is still occurring. It will be closed in 14 days if no updates are provided.
