Allow `cy.visit` to work on 404 pages (option `failOnStatusCode`)

Right now I can’t do any of the cy.visit()-enabled BDD on our HTTP 404 pages. I can test it crudely with:

cy.request({url: '/abcde', failOnStatusCode: false})
  .its('body').should('.include', 'Oops, something went wrong!');

But I (think I) can’t do any clicking etc.

If cy.visit() options allowed for the failOnStatusCode: bool option, I could do something like:

cy.visit('/abcde', {failOnStatusCode: false});
cy.get('#email').type('[e-mail]');
cy.get('#submit').click();
cy.url().should('contain','/form-success');

@mellogarrett this is not coming from Cypress. This is an error literally coming from your application, which is why Cypress is failing. In other words, this is Cypress catching bugs in your own code.

By default Cypress automatically catches global uncaught exceptions.

Read this issue for more detail: https://github.com/cypress-io/cypress/issues/254

You can also turn off uncaught exception handling here: https://docs.cypress.io/api/events/catalog-of-events.html

If you were to click on the error message you would see the stack trace originating from your own code.

it('visit site while bypassing 4xx authorization', ()=> {
    cy.visit('https://xxxx  .com/', {failOnStatusCode: false}) //Bypass 4xx authorization
    cy.get('input').type('xxxx').type('{enter}')
})
