Multiple files, multiple beforeEach, not all run

Hello,

Current behavior:

I have 2 test files, both have their beforeEach with some commands that stub xhr requests. However, only one of the 2 beforeEach sections gets run. I do see it in the “Routes” section, but with 0 hits.

When I run both files in isolation, they work as expected.

Example command:

Cypress.Commands.add('mockGetActivationsData', (fixture = 'getActivations.json') => {
  cy.server();
  cy.route('GET', '**/**/business-units/*/activations', `fixture:activations/${fixture}`);
});

Desired behavior:

Each beforeEach section should allow commands to be fired to intercept xhr requests.

Steps to reproduce:

Create 2 test files. Each of them have a beforeEach section that call a command, that stubs a XHR request.

It works fine when I remove my command calls from every beforeEach section and duplicate them across every test.

Versions

• cypress 2.1.0
• chrome 66

Thanks

@zeralight Can you provide an example we can run completely? There’s a lot of things not included in your example that may be affecting the way it runs. You can edit our tests against our example.cypress.io website, which has some routing. Repo to fork: https://github.com/cypress-io/cypress-example-kitchensink

And opening a new issue would probably be best than this older issue.

I am having a similar issue where the root describe isn’t running with nesting describes In some test, I delay a network request to test a loading state.

describe("...", () => {
  beforeEach(() => cy.setCookie(...));
  describe("...", () => {
    beforeEach(() => cy.route2("/foo", { delayMs: 2000 }).as("requestFoo"));

    it("...", () => {
      /* cy.setCookie() running and cy.route2() running */
      /* trigger action to request Foo */
      /* run asserts: OK */
      // cy.wait('@requestFoo')
    });
  });

  describe("...", () => {
   beforeEach(() => something());
    it("...", () => {
      /* something() running */
     /* cy.setCookie() not running */
    });
  });
});

When I uncomment the line // cy.wait(‘@requestFoo’), the issue disappears. Cypress: 5.3.0
