06/16/2022, 3:25 PMDoes anyone have any suggestions for debugging spec files that take an extremely long time (up to 2 minutes!) to load/compile and often lock up my machine during initial loading? I think the root cause is too many JS imports AND/OR a suspicious helper class that's full of interdependent functions and re-used variable names. Spec files with fewer imports (that also happen to not import the suspicious helper class) load very quickly and don't cause machine lockups.
If it helps, sometimes these slow-compiling spec fails fail quickly with a maximum call stack size exceeded error (https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Errors/Too_much_recursion) .

Copy code
import { checkoutPage } from '../../support/page-objects/pages/checkoutPage'
import { header } from '../../support/page-objects/components/header'
import { addToBasket } from '../../support/page-objects/components/addToBasket'
import { basketPage } from '../../support/page-objects/pages/basketPage'
import { dbhelper } from '../../support/db.helper'
import { loginPage } from '../../support/page-objects/pages/account/loginPage'
import { onlyOn, skipOn } from '@cypress/skip-test'
import { UserBuilder } from '../../support/builder/user.builder'
import { SuiteTag } from '../../support/enums/suiteTag'
import { customerAPI } from '../../support/api/endpoints/customer'
import { FeatureFlag } from '../../../../src/config/constants/feature-flags'
import { AccountType } from '../../support/enums/accountType'
import { getErrorMessage } from '../../support/helper'

plugins/index.jsmelodic-hydrogen-41542
