LocalStorage resets on failure about cypress-fail-fast

[javierbrea]

Hi @haveaguess,
Thank you, now I understood. The plugin stops Cypress using a beforeEach hook in order to let Cypress execute other afterEach hooks when a test fails. Please let me think about a solution.

Hi @haveaguess,
I'm sorry but I don't understand what do you need or what is wrong in this plugin. I'm not sure, but if you are facing any localStorage issue, probably it is not related to this plugin, note that Cypress by default does not persist localStorage between tests, you can try the cypress-localstorage-commands plugin for persisting it.
In case that is not the problem, please provide more details.

Thanks for reply,

Cypress kills the local storage before running any test which is great because if a test fails and bombs out I can use the app in Cypress GUI and see what is wrong (Im not logged out)

But when I use Fail Fast I get logged out, so I can only assume it is clearing the Local Storage

From looking at your code this is because you mark the next test for skipping and stop the runner in the before of the next test by which time Cypress has trashed LocalStorage. Does it need to use this strategy? Any ideas for preserving the LocalStorage in failure situation (not other situations)

The hacked approach I shared above stops the LocalStorage being trashed when it stops the test but I would prefer to use your library
