Cypress event 'test:after:run' is not fired when before and after hooks both fail

[mmisty]

Current behavior

Cypress doesn't show any error messages when both before and after hooks have errors.

Desired behavior

Cypress should show error for tests - the one from before hook

Test code to reproduce

Create spec file and run:

describe('before and after hooks failure', () => {
  before('fail before', () => {
    cy.wrap(null).then(() => {
      throw new Error('Failure in before hook');
    });
  });
  
  it('test 1', () => {
    cy.log('test 1');
  });
  
  it('test 2', () => {
    cy.log('test 2');
  });
  
  after('fail after', () => {
    cy.wrap(null).then(() => {
      throw new Error('Failure in after hook');
    });
  });
});

Cypress shows (seems like stuck):

I can recreate this behavior. The tests hang forever via cypress open. However, the tests properly exit via cypress run which is quite strange actually. I was able to recreate this back to v10. The fact that this doesn't happen during cypress run greatly reduces the severity of the issue.

cypress open

cypress run

Hello @jennifer-shehane, thank you for responding.
Tests are not hanging as I understand - alhough they are shown as hanging - because event is not fired UI cannot show the error.
And also reporting cannot be done properly by third party plugins because this event is not fired.
