cypress: Error: Failed to parse or set cookie named

Current behavior:

When using a cookie with attribute Secure using a HTTP connection an error is thrown and tests are aborted:

Error: Failed to parse or set cookie named “<JSESSIONID>”.

For more context, see https://github.com/cypress-io/cypress/issues/1321#issuecomment-462647518

Desired behavior:

Cypress should continue to run tests and ignore cookie, perhaps showing a warning about trying to set a secure cookie on a non-secure connection.

Steps to reproduce: (app code and test code)

Use a non-encrypted connection (http)
Navigate Cypress to a url which tries to set a Secure cookie as response

Versions

Cypress 3.1.5 (3.1.0 works fine), any OS, both Electron and Chrome are affected.

@jennifer-shehane I would like to re-open this issue as I am unable to catch the exception using uncaught:exception and Cypress just straight up crashes when the set cookie error occurs. This halts all execution, which I think is pretty bad.

support/index.js

Cypress.on('uncaught:exception', () => {
  return false;
});

Run

$ cypress run

I was able to confirm that this started happening on 3.1.1, so for now I’m going with 3.1.0 as @sweoggy suggested.

Unfortunately I don’t have a reproducible example I can share at this moment 😞
