In the blog post by Gleb Bahmutov, the author addresses a common issue encountered when using the Cypress Test Runner, specifically the "detached DOM element" error that can occur during tests involving dynamic data fetching in Select2 widgets. Bahmutov explains that this error arises due to race conditions between the test runner and the application updating the DOM, particularly on Continuous Integration (CI) environments where network calls and browser updates can be slower. The post uses a detailed scenario to illustrate how a test can fail due to this error, and it suggests solutions such as implementing waiting mechanisms for DOM updates and using Cypress's built-in retry-ability to avoid race conditions. Additionally, the author recommends simulating slower network responses with fixtures to ensure the test runner waits for the application to complete its actions, thereby making the test more reliable and flake-free. The discussed solutions aim to enhance test stability by ensuring synchronization between the test runner and the application's asynchronous operations.
