Add cy.hover()

See original GitHub issue

Need to be able to hover in/out of DOM elements.

Example for hover

cy.get("@firstRow").hover()

I’m not sure what a stop hover command would look like.

Currently I would achieve this with mouseOver and mouseOut events. The hover command could follow a similar convention.

Other considerations:

In what direction does the mouse come from for hover
How long should the hover occur.
How do you “pause” a hover to allow for possible css animations.
Which actions cause you no longer to hover.

It is possible to run a native system hover event using CDP. Find the ready-to-use hover command in this package https://github.com/dmtrKovalenko/cypress-real-events. Checkcy.realHover command.

When I issue a .click() command, this should issue a .hover() over the element I’ve specified to click onto (in order to fully simulate mouse behavior).
