Clicks do not always trigger event

[liuliu-dev]

Current behavior

when running cy.get('[data-cy=mobile-navbar-menu-button]').click();, sometimes the button won't be triggered, the button is visible, and adding should('be.visible') did not help with the situation.

I tried adding wait() before clicks (suggestions from this issue: https://github.com/cypress-io/cypress/issues/25644), it fails much less frequently, but adding arbitrary waiting time is not a reliable option.

The test fails more often on ViewportPreset like "ipad-2" and "iphone-x", we didn't have this issue with v11

Test code to reproduce

describe(
  "test blog page on mobile",
  { viewportWidth: 768, viewportHeight: 1024 },
  () => {
    beforeEach(() => {
      // create the stub here
      const ga = cy.stub().as("ga");

      // prevent google analytics from loading and replace it with a stub before every
      // single page load including all new page navigations
      cy.on("window:before:load", win => {
        if (!Object.getOwnPropertyDescriptor(win, "ga")) {
          Object.defineProperty(win, "ga", {
            configurable: false,
            get: () => ga, // always return the stub
            set: () => {}, // don't allow actual google analytics to overwrite this property
          });
        }
      });

      cy.visit(
        "https://www.dolthub.com/blog/2020-03-06-so-you-want-git-for-data/",
      );
    });

    it(
      "should trigger nav button",
      { viewportWidth: 768, viewportHeight: 1024 },
      () => {
        cy.get(`[data-cy=mobile-navbar-menu-button]`).click();
        cy.get("[data-cy=mobile-navbar-links] > li").should("be.visible");
      },
    );
  },
);

...we didn't have this issue with v11

@liuliu-dev, running the provided test locally on both Cypress v10 and v11 shows the same error. Are you seeing otherwise?

seems due to changes on our side, thanks for looking into it!
