Detect dropped video frames or frozen video #5061

Open bahmutov opened 5 years ago

bahmutov commented 5 years ago

If the CPU of the CI container is underpowered, video recording can stutter or even freeze completely as reported in #4722

It would be nice to detect when this happens and show a warning message in the terminal after the spec completes.

@bahmutov Hey, I am using Cypress version 9.5.2 and I get the same problem. Videos are frozen on the cypress dash. Sometimes the videos pass to another frame but are still frozen. We run our tests using GitHub actions on Linux I've added an example of the video.

Thanks in advance, Andrey

Increasing our aws machines from m4.large (2 CPUS and 8GB memory) => m4.xlarge (4 CPUS and 16GB memory) solved the issue. We had some instances that were smaller so we had the issue, once all of our instances became bigger it solved the issue.

@bahmutov @jennifer-shehane Is there any standard recommendations form Cypress, as an minimal system configuration to have for CI machine ?

I noticed there was a issue #5317 asking for same info, but not properly addressed (in my opinion). Also myself posted a question in stack-overflow forum nearly a month back, But got no response yet! Hence posting it again here!

It all depends on the CI and the app and the browser so it can only be determined experimentally by you when running your tests. If you find dropped tests and app crashing, time to try a larger machine.
