Is there a reliable way to have Cypress exit as soon as a test fails?

Question

We have a large test suite running on a CI server, and there appears to be no way of telling Cypress to exit if a test fails. It always runs the entire suite.

There is some discussion here, but no workable solution.

Is there a reliable way to have Cypress exit as soon as a test fails?

Answer 1

You can also use this Cypress plugin meanwhile Cypress does not support this feature natively: https://www.npmjs.com/package/cypress-fail-fast

Add the plugin to devDependencies:

npm i --save-dev cypress-fail-fast

Inside cypress/plugins/index.js:

module.exports = (on, config) => {
  require("cypress-fail-fast/plugin")(on, config);
  return config;
};

At the top of cypress/support/index.js:

import "cypress-fail-fast";
