Cypress Error: “cy.visit() failed because you are attempting to visit a second unique domain”
Blog post from testRigor
Cypress, a popular tool for end-to-end testing of web applications, enforces a single-origin policy that often results in the error "cy.visit() failed because you are attempting to visit a second unique domain" when tests inadvertently navigate to multiple domains. This limitation can be mitigated by organizing tests to focus on a single domain, using hooks like beforeEach for setup, employing cy.request() for cross-domain interactions, and managing domain transitions carefully. While Cypress is valued for its testing capabilities, its limitations have prompted the exploration of alternative tools like testRigor, which offers AI-driven automation features such as automatic test generation, cloud integration, and no-code test script creation. TestRigor's innovative approach, including smart element locators and broad compatibility, positions it as a strong contender in the automation testing landscape, appealing to those seeking efficient and modern solutions for test automation.
