Fixes to reduce flaky tests on cypress execution #6701

Closed mfacar closed 5 months ago

mfacar commented 5 months ago

As Cypress e2e is covering more functionalities, the GitHub workflow is longer in time and more susceptible to failures related to flaky tests.

To reduce a little bit the execution time and prevent some flaky tests some of the actions that can help are:

Adding { delay: 0 } when typing a field avoids unuseful waits.
Navigate through application links instead of reloading the whole application.
ScrollIntoView to replicate a user action instead of forcing events on no visible elements.
Focus windows to use navigator actions.
Decrease delay time for user notification for testing automation.
