cypress: Incorrect redirect to malformed url within AUT - adding `_/` in url

I am also facing this issue with all browsers including Electron :

• Electron
• Edge 85 (85.0.564.41)
• Chrome 85 (85.0.4183.83)
• Firefox 80 (beta)

Cypress 4.7.0 Node v8.11.3

Same after upgrading to latest versions: Cypress 5.1.0 Node v12.18.3

it('Login page', () => {

        // visit main home page
        cy.visit('https://tstapex.myhost.ch/ords/f?p=119')

        // make sure we are redirected to login
        cy.url().should('include', 'LOGIN_DESKTOP')

        // log in
        cy.get('#P9999_USERNAME').type('username')
        cy.get('#P9999_PASSWORD').type('password')

        // click login button
        cy.get('#login-button').click();

    })

I’m redirected to https://tstapex.myhost.ch/__/f?p=119:1:28275213605974:::::

Then of course get:

Not Found The requested URL /__/f was not found on this server.

Setting experimentalSourceRewriting to true does not help.

There is an open PR meant to fix this here: https://github.com/cypress-io/cypress/pull/5273 It’s complicated and is still a work in progress.

This fix is available starting in 4.6.0 as an experiment which you can access by setting this config option in your cypress.json or elsewhere:

{
	"experimentalSourceRewriting": true
}

Please use a new issue if you are still running into issues that are not solved by this change.

Another example from https://github.com/cypress-io/cypress/issues/5878

it('should reroute', function () {
  cy.visit('https://rahulshettyacademy.com/seleniumPractise/#/')
  cy.get('.cart-icon > img').click()
  cy.contains('PROCEED TO').click()
})

The url reroutes to the incorrect __/ url, visiting the Test Runner within the Test Runner as shown below. This behavior changed slightly over the versions, but never worked.

3.4.1 w/ Chrome 78

This one reroutes to https://rahulshettyacademy.com/seleniumPractise/__/#/cart

3.4.1 w/ Electron 61

This one reroutes to https://rahulshettyacademy.com/seleniumPractise/#/cart

3.5.0 w/ Chrome 78 or Electron 73

This one reroutes to https://rahulshettyacademy.com/seleniumPractise/__/#/cart

3.7.0 w/ Chrome 78 or Electron 73

This one reroutes to https://rahulshettyacademy.com/seleniumPractise/__/#/cart

The code for this is done in cypress-io/cypress#5273, but has yet to be released. We’ll update this issue and reference the changelog when it’s released.

I use the following code as workaround. Replace ‘xxx’ as needed.

cy.window().then((win) => {
   const location = win.location.href;
   cy.visit(location.replace('__', 'xxx'));
});

Does anyone know about a workaround for this problem?

I just used edit the url and redirect like so

cy.url()
      .should("contain", ":1:")
      .then(($url) => {
        loggedInPage = $url.replace("/__/", "/pls/apex/");
        cy.visit(loggedInPage); //necessary due to #redirectmalfunction
      });

An example context : https://github.com/hhudson/bypass_login_w_cypress/blob/master/cypress/integration/method1.login.js

I searched for both. Could see window.location.href being referenced, but not set.

Re-opening since others are still running in to this: https://github.com/cypress-io/cypress/issues/5442

Please re-open this issue. It is apparent in Electron 73 that ships with Cypress 3.5.0.

Since this issue only exhibits itself within Chrome - we figure it is a change in Chrome that caused this issue to happen in Cypress. I also assume it is not a bug, as the issue still persists in version 77. It may be an intended change in behavior.

Narrowing down the version of Chrome that it was introduced, it was introduce in version 71.0.3572.0, specifically between commits 7e3da6dc3d7cd7eb8a55ef301026fe1ab737f814 and 56dd83c9005f68d55ddbf85c551759526b4e37cd:

@flotwig good luck 😅

I face the same problem. But only when using chromium. If I use elektron, it works.
