Task error propagation broken

[EtienneBruines]

Current behavior

The error message is not shown:

  1) the issue
       something specific
         "before each" hook for "works":
     CypressError: `cy.task('some-bad-task')` failed with the following error:

> Error

https://on.cypress.io/api/task

Because this error occurred during a `before each` hook we are skipping the remaining tests in the current suite: `the issue`

Desired behavior

The error message shown, e.g. the string Hello rejected world being present.

Test code to reproduce

// Register the task in plugins/index.js
on('task', {
    'some-bad-task': () => {
        return new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
            reject("Hello rejected world");
        })
    }
})

// Then later in some tests
describe('the issue', () => {
    beforeEach(() => {
        cy.task('some-bad-task')
    })  

    it('works', () => {

    })
})

[EtienneBruines]

If I were to throw the Error instead of rejecting the Promise, Cypress would stop executing with the correct error message, but would require manually killing the process. (Which is a no-go in CI pipelines. We need the process to exit on errors, and give us an error we can work with.)

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.

I'm still seeing this issue in Cypress version 13.12.0
