0.5.8

Released 04/24/2015

Features:

• .as() can now alias primitives and objects other than routes or DOM.
• .as() automatically assigns this alias to runnable.ctx which makes it available synchronously.
• .as() blacklists several reserved words and will throw if you attempt to alias as one of them.
• cy.get() can now accept all alias types and will display the labels in the UI differently based on the alias type.
• Cypress now displays a message when the Desktop App update is actually being applied instead of doing nothing and looking like it's crashed.

Bugfixes:

• .as() now throws on empty strings or non string arguments.
• Desktop App debug logs no longer sort in the wrong direction.
• Permissions are now restored during a cypress update for the logs and cache.
• Prevent 3rd party windows from gaining focus over main window.

Misc:

• Removed cy.assign, this has been folded into .as().
• Updated chokidar to 1.0.1.

0.5.7

Released 04/23/2015

Features:

• The insanity that is URL parsing to figure out absolute, relative, absolute-path-relative, http, sub domains, and local files should work in most cases. In other words, Cypress has implemented the vast majority of url parsing based on the 'w3c URL spec' 'https://url.spec.whatwg.org'.

Bugfixes:

• Prevent reverting the DOM while tests are running. Fixes #28.
• Fix edge case with forced focusing / blurring an element when document is not in focus and the element is no longer in the DOM.
• Visiting relative paths which are served from your file system works again.
• Visiting absolute paths in the iframe now displays the correct URL in the address bar again.

0.5.6

Released 04/22/2015

Features:

• Cypress now detects the difference between a forced async done test timeout vs a regular command timeout, and will throw the appropriate message indicating whether the user forgot to simply invoke done or whether the timeout happened due to a command.

Bugfixes:

• cy.visit() now properly times out when the load event does not occur within the time out window.
• If a page loads after a cy.visit() times out it will no longer cause an exception in the onBeforeLoad handler.

Misc:

• Increased cy.visit() timeout from 15s to 20s.
• cy.visit() now throws a custom error message when it times out (instead of an incorrect / confusing default mocha timeout message).
• Using a debugger while running a test will no longer always cause the test to time out (yay!).
• Override default mocha timeout handling, replaced with custom logic. Removes many bizarre edge cases.
