I’ve run now into the same issue - Cypress 3.1.0, Mac OS X 10.13.6, Electron 59 The issue occurs while running a suite which contains of two tests. In the second test on the same request it fails with

Memory statements from CYPRESS_MEMORY=1 did not show a significant increase and as well no direct shortage of memory

memory info { rss: 238333952,
  heapTotal: 129863680,
  heapUsed: 116772008,
  external: 676034 }
memory info { rss: 232624128,
  heapTotal: 126193664,
  heapUsed: 114479928,
  external: 438446 }
memory info { rss: 232689664,
  heapTotal: 126193664,
  heapUsed: 114558776,
  external: 439619 }

The third info was taken after the last request was send - and directly after that the GC statement showed up.

After setting video:false in the configuration there was no change to the behavior. Same for the configuration option numTestsKeptInMemory a reduction from the default value to e.g. did not provided a different result.

We’re not running typescript - plain javascript tests.

Since you’re using typescript too, it might be the same issue as https://github.com/cypress-io/cypress/issues/2316

Here is my solution, after spending quite a while on this:

Use Chrome 97, I did this through cypress/included:9.5.1 docker image

I was previously failing with the memory issue when using cypress/included:12.1.0

@asafbenm Check this link: https://github.com/cypress-io/cypress/issues/2316 Scroll down, there is a code example, which I have used exactly as it posted but without “fork-ts-checker” plugin

We made several performance improvements in our latest updates, particularly version 3.3.2, can we get an update on whether this issue is still occurring in our latest version? Thanks!
