Showing a window pop-up while running commands in the headless (CLI) mode.

[SinghPramender]

Current behavior

As we know, cypress does not support other window or tab testing. I am testing a button on which a new window opens. But when i run the code in the command lines using "npx cypress run", a window pop-up and then disappear. But this should not be happened in the headless mode.

Desired behavior

Pop-up window should not show in the screen.

Test code to reproduce

Cypress.Commands.add('changePassword', () => {
    cy.get(commonObjects.profileSection).should('be.visible');
    cy.get(commonObjects.profileSection).click();
    cy.xpath(commonObjects.profileListContainerXpath).within(() => {
        cy.get(commonObjects.profileMenuItems).contains(' Change Password ').should('be.visible');
        cy.get(commonObjects.profileMenuItems).contains(' Change Password ').click();
    });
});

@SinghPramender Can you provide additional information like browser, os as well as a reproducible example using https://github.com/cypress-io/cypress-test-tiny?

Are you referencing the face Cypress is auto-accepting an alert?

I had cypress-cucumber-preprocessor in my cypress project . when I have uninstalled it and executed some tests in headless mode. I am getting a white blank popup which is not interactable we cant click on it. I am getting this even after installing cypress-cucumber-preprocessor again

Here is the screenshot

Happens while cypress run --spec aaa.cy.ts --browser chrome is running, there is white box visible. I guess it is chrome window related, because box size can be changed with window-size argument:

on('before:browser:launch', (browser, launchOptions) => {
  if (browser.name === 'chrome' && browser.isHeadless) {
    launchOptions.args.push('--window-size=1800,900');
    return launchOptions;
  }
});

Nothing new was installed, just updated Cypress recently.

Cypress: 13.14.2
Browser: Chrome 129 (headless)
Node Version: v20.11.0 (C:\Program Files\nodejs\node.exe)

@jennifer-shehane Could you please re-open the issue? It seems to still be occurring.

There is a white window which seems a bit different of the browser one we see with --headed.

using default or explicit headless argument
cypress run --browser chrome --headless
cypress run --browser chrome

Os: Windows 10
Cypress: 15.15.0
Browser Chrome 129
Node: v18.20.2

It is related to chrome browser as running cypress run --browser firefox won't show any window.

It is Chrome 129 issue:
