Cypress runs old code instead of running updated code changes

I’m running into an issue with Cypress.io that I don’t see too much helpful information about out there. Essentially, whenever I make changes to my code (e.g. implement a new method, remove an old method, etc.) and save, the test runner goes ahead and executes my test file as it should. However, it runs the code that was present prior to the changes. I’ve tried implementing hooks, eliminating hooks, closing the dashboard after each run, clearing the app data; not sure what the source of the issue is though.

For context, I’m running cypress using Yarn (yarn cypress open to open the dashboard) and am keeping my test files saved in cypress/integration/.

    This issue could be caused by various factors, including caching, using outdated dependencies, or having a conflicting process running in the background.

    Try the following steps to resolve the issue:

    1. Clear the Cypress cache by running the command “yarn cypress cache:clear”.
    2. Update your dependencies to ensure that you’re using the latest versions of Cypress and its dependencies.
    3. Check if you have any conflicting processes running in the background that might interfere with Cypress.
    4. Restart your computer and try running the tests again.
    5. If none of the above steps resolve the issue, try reinstalling Cypress.

    If the issue persists, consider reaching out to the Cypress community for further assistance or sharing more information about your setup, such as your operating system and version of Cypress.
