Hey guys - reproduced/solved this today for myself in the following manner.

Had three unique test suites All cy.visits are directed at the same url

Wrote a function in test two that I ended up needing in test three but not test one so I exported the function from test two instead of making a Cypress command, then imported it in test three. All the tests ran perfectly when run solo.

When run headless the repeat test would run as normal, but it takes an eternity so I didn’t want this running twice even if it was harmless.

The export caused the gui and headless to run all tests as follows

test one
test two(exported function in here)
test two
test three(function imported here)

Removed the export and made it into a command instead and the issue is resolved.

Hope this shed some light on things, or at least didn’t make things less clear.

I think I might have something concrete.

Running cypress run with a test that does cy.visit("https://google.com") appears to crash/freeze on the initial run if you don’t have a baseUrl set in the cypress.json.

I’m not entirely sure why this is but my guess is it might be comparing the baseUrl (null) to the base url in the cy.visit in this case "https://google.com" figuring they are different and reloading or something.

If anyone can confirm this behaviour perhaps we could change the docs to say that baseUrl is required in the cypress.json until it’s fixed.
