localStorage is not being resolved sometimes

See original GitHub issue

when i’m using localStorage.getItem in before function to get some user data from storage sometimes (randomly) it is not being resolved by test engine so it spews error Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'getItem' of null

to fix this use window.localStorage.getItem

i can’t provide steps to reproduce or other useful info so i believe this bug will be closed soon but i’m posting this workaround for guys who has the same issue so they can google for answer

And where is the localStorage.getItem being called that you said is throwing the error in the context of the tests above?

@Uzlopak the problem is i’m doing this in app, not in tests. App knows nothing about cy.window() and it should not Probably I should mock my global object aka window to use cy.window(). but when i use window.localStorage it works, so i dont need to mock it
