Hi.

window.Cypress

is going undefined in some of my cypress tests, and consequently

window.store

also stays undefined. For example, I have a test like this:

js
describe("test", () => {
  it("test store", () => {
    cy.visit("/");
    cy.contains("Username").should("be.visible");
    cy.window().its("store").should("exist");
    cy.get(".asdasdasd", {timeout: 50000}).should("exist");
  });
});

The last command is supposed to always fail and trigger a 2nd retry. The frontend (a React app) has the following in the

index.tsx

file (runs in the "/" which page the test is visiting):

js
// expose store when run in Cypress
if (window.Cypress) {
  window.store = store;
}

When I run the frontend in dev mode (yarn start) the test always passes. When I compile-all and build the frontend and put it in nginx, when I run this test in cli (headless) mode it passes the store in the first try, fails the second try; when I run the test in windowed mode it passes the store both times (after I cleared the "workbox" cache in dev tools; before it would fail in the 2nd try). When I reduce the timeout from 50000 to anything lower than around 42900 it starts to pass in every case (once I noticed a spam like this during that time coming in the e2e terminal:

I think it's related to the cache I deleted, but no idea what it could mean). I have tried testing an older version of the frontend that worked, it still fails 2nd try. Any suggestions?
