Summary

With the release of Cypress 12.9, a new feature has been added to the Debug page, enhancing the continuous integration (CI) debugging experience by allowing users to navigate between test runs. This improvement enables users to view, investigate, and rerun failed tests recorded to the Cypress Cloud directly from the local Cypress app, without needing to switch contexts. The navigation feature is particularly beneficial for projects with multiple test runs per commit, as it provides greater flexibility and insight into debugging workflows. To utilize the Debug page, users must ensure that their git is properly configured and that they are sending git data to Cypress Cloud, as the feature relies on local git history to display relevant Cloud runs. Additionally, users are encouraged to explore the Cypress Steps Plugin, which enhances the command log by adding test steps and errors. For more details on the Debug page and other updates in version 12.9, users can refer to the documentation and changelog.
