Note

Introduces intelligent timeout diagnostics (with tests/docs) and updates the Vite dev server plugin to asynchronously and robustly load/inject the init script.

  • Driver:
    • Timeout Diagnostics: New packages/driver/src/cypress/timeout_diagnostics.ts providing contextual suggestions for timeout errors (analyze, formatSuggestions, enhanceTimeoutError).
    • Tests: Unit tests in packages/driver/test/unit/cypress/timeout_diagnostics.spec.ts covering patterns, escaping, formatting, and edge cases.
    • Docs: Added TIMEOUT_DIAGNOSTICS_README.md explaining features, API, and examples.
  • Dev Server (Vite):
    • Async init loader: Refactors npm/vite-dev-server/src/plugins/cypress.ts to read initCypressTests.js and index.html via async I/O with lazy, retryable loaderPromise and improved error handling.
    • HTML injection: More robust <script> injection (handles missing </body>), and minor logging/cleanup.
  • Changelog:
    • Adds 15.7.1 entry noting intelligent timeout diagnostics and performance improvements.

…ormance

- Replace fs.readFileSync with async fs.readFile
- Add proper error handling with debug logs
- Improve performance by avoiding event loop blocking
- Remove TODO comment about async fs methods

This follows Node.js best practices and improves DX with faster build times.
- Replace fs.readFileSync with promisified fs.readFile for async operation
- Implement lazy initialization with getLoaderPromise() to prevent unhandled promise rejections
- Add proper blank lines to satisfy padding-line-between-statements ESLint rule
- Maintain proper error handling with try/catch blocks
- Add catch handler to reset promise on failure for retry capability
- Address Cursor Bot feedback about unhandled promise rejection
- Maintain lazy initialization to prevent unnecessary promise creation
- Improve error recovery for init file loading
Add smart diagnostic suggestions for timeout errors to improve DX

- Created TimeoutDiagnostics module with contextual error analysis
- Detects common timeout patterns:
  * Dynamic/loading content selectors
  * Complex and fragile selectors
  * Dynamic ID selectors
  * Network-related delays
  * Animation issues
  * Excessive DOM mutations
- Provides actionable suggestions with docs links
- Includes comprehensive test coverage (17 tests)
- Fully documented with examples and integration guide

Benefits:
- Reduces debugging time for developers
- Provides inline education about best practices
- Decreases frustration with clearer error messages
- Reduces support questions about timeouts

Example output:
`
cy.get() timed out waiting 4000ms

 Diagnostic Suggestions:

1. The selector appears to target dynamic/loading content
   a) Wait for the loading state to complete
   b) Consider using data-cy attributes
   c) Use cy.intercept() to wait for API requests

Fix critical bugs identified by Cursor Bot code review:

1. **Missing body tag handling in Vite plugin**
   - Added check for missing </body> tag (lastIndexOf returns -1)
   - Prevents malformed HTML with script at wrong position
   - Gracefully appends script at end if body tag not found
   - Added debug logging for missing body tag case

2. **Contradictory loading content suggestion**
   - Fixed confusing suggestion for loading selectors
   - Now suggests waiting for loading to disappear THEN get content
   - Provides alternative to wait for API request
   - Clarifies when user actually needs the loading element itself

3. **Unescaped quotes in generated code suggestions**
   - All selectors now properly escaped before interpolation
   - Prevents syntax errors like: cy.get('[data-test='value']')
   - Correctly generates: cy.get('[data-test=\\'value\\']')
   - Applied to all suggestion types (dynamic, complex, ID, general)

Test coverage:
- Added tests for quote escaping in selectors
- Verified proper handling of special characters
- All 19 tests passing
- Lint checks passing

Before:
- cy.get('[data-test='value']')  // SYNTAX ERROR

After:
- cy.get('[data-test=\\'value\\']')  // VALID
