The nodeVersion configuration option now defaults to system. The behavior
of the system option has changed to always use the Node.js binary/version
that launched Cypress. If Cypress was not launched via the terminal, Cypress
will use the bundled Node.js version. This could change the behavior of code
within your pluginsFile since it may be run in your system Node.js
version. Addresses
#18684.
Windows 32-bit is no longer supported in Cypress. Addresses
#17962.
An error will now be thrown if an invalid value is passed to Cypress.config.
Previously invalid values were ignored and could cause unexpected behavior.
Addresses #18589.
cy.contains() no longer yields the <body> element when it matches the
content of <script> or <style> tags. Addresses
#14861.
Attempting to add an existing built-in Cypress command using
Cypress.Commands.add() will now throw an error, indicating that
Cypress.Commands.overwrite() should be used instead to overwrite the
behavior of existing commands. Addresses
#18572.
Custom command implementations are now typed based on the declared custom
chainables. Addresses
#17496.
The bundled Node.js version was upgraded from 14.17.0 to 16.5.0. This
could change the behavior of code within the pluginsFile when using the
bundled Node.js version of Cypress. Addressed in
#18317.
Deprecations:
The nodeVersion configuration option has been deprecated and will be removed
in a future release.
Features:
When null is passed as the encoding to cy.readFile() or cy.fixture(),
the file is treated as binary and read as a Buffer. Similarly, null passed
as the encoding to cy.writeFile() allows direct writing of buffers. If the
encoding is unspecified, the default remains utf8, matching the current
behavior. Addresses
#18534.
Bugfixes:
Sticky elements within a fixed container will now be able to be properly
