Unperformant test execution after plugin implementation about cypress-debugger

[agoldis]

@bdimitrovski Hi Bojan!
You won't be able to use this plugin with cypress version 13+, that's why it's getting not much attention (because of recent Cypress blocking) - that's why the issues for this plugins are getting neglected.
When we have a good solution for running cypress tests without being prone to cypress.io shenanigans, this plugin will get more love.

As for the issue itself - I will try taking a look at the repo you've shared.

Thanks for your understanding.

Would be great to be able to reproduce

[bdimitrovski]

@agoldis Your comment is quite interesting, I must admit - what better reproduction could you expect than this? I obviously cannot hand you over my source code, so what are the other options?

[bdimitrovski]

@agoldis Here's a repo for you: https://github.com/bdimitrovski/cypress-example-kitchensink - please try to clone it, and run :

1. npm install
2. npx cypress run --browser chrome

Without the plugin:

With the plugin:

This is a 28s difference for very trivial, FE heavy tests. Now, imagine much more complex tests like I have presented you with initially - it's quite obvious to me that the plugin becomes almost exponentially underperforming as the complexity and the scope of the tests rise.

@agoldis Any updates on this?

[bdimitrovski]

This is utterly disappointing. I feel that I've provided you with more than enough data and context, as well as a repro repo which very well demonstrates the issues we are facing, however, you did not even make an effort to reply.

@agoldis Could you please let me know how long you think it might take to fix this? It's been months without a single reply, can you at least confirm if there are performance issues on your end as well? Is it a OS specific or environment issue, unoptimised code, something completely different...
