Retries hangs on failed assertions

See original GitHub issue

Current behavior:

Sometimes Cypress hangs to eternity on failed assertions while Retries functionality is active. I described it once in this ticket: https://github.com/Bkucera/cypress-plugin-retries/issues/64#issuecomment-675498787

Now I’m experiencing similar issue in 5.0.0 version. It’s probably a problem with .should('contain', xxx) assertion.

The code for this is done in cypress-io/cypress#8527, but has yet to be released. We’ll update this issue and reference the changelog when it’s released.

I think I found the source of the issue, hoping to get a patch out in the next release.
