Cypress randomly crashes in chrome when using Cypress Open with 'Aw, Snap!'

[dqiubread]

Unfortunately i dont have a way to create a failing test. I do have the failure logs though. We are using experimentalMemoryManagement and numTestsKeptInMemory when using cypress open but its not working.

Cypress Mode

cypress open

We detected that the Chrome Renderer process just crashed.

We have failed the current spec but will continue running the next spec.

This can happen for a number of different reasons.

If you're running lots of tests on a memory intense application.
  - Try increasing the CPU/memory on the machine you're running on.
  - Try enabling experimentalMemoryManagement in your config file.
  - Try lowering numTestsKeptInMemory in your config file during 'cypress open'.

You should probably update your Node.js version before continuing with your troubleshooting, since Node.js v19.1.0 entered end-of-life about one year ago. Node.js 20.x LTS is often a good choice.

I updated node to a new version and it seems to still be an issue intermittently. One thing that I am doing is I am trying to type into an input field by skipping the delay and it seems its when it types into the input field that it crashes.

@dqiubread I'm able to run a sample of this test on a simple HTML page with an input and this does not recreate.

Does your App function fine when you manually perform these actions outside of Cypress? Invoking the val? Just want to isolate a memory leak from your actual application code.

Ya it works fine when im manually doing it on our webpage. It only seems to happen when we run the test with the open command and works fine when we run on our CI/CD instance.

here is one of the latest run logs that crashed.

@jennifer-shehane is there a different command that i can run that would be able to help get to the root of this performance issue?

[jennifer-shehane]

@dqiubread Providing a reproduction that we can run - and track down the issue would be ideal. The logs would just show that there is a perf issue, which we believe, but it won't give us much information about why without recreating it ourselves and running through our code paths.

[dqiubread]

We figured out the issue was with the UI. When we do the invoke to set the text we dont need to do the trigger command. It seems for some reason the trigger was breaking the UI for our case. Removing it fixed out issue
