🔧 Bug Fixes & Patches (3)
- Fixed more edge cases where legitimate JavaScript code was being modified unexpectedly by the `modifyObstructiveCode` configuration. We've tightened up the regexp even more and added 40 popular JS libraries to test against to ensure they are not modified. Fixes #1334.
- Fixed an edge case when hooks such as `beforeEach` or `afterEach` threw an **identical** error message, Cypress would hang indefinitely and never finish running the tests. Fixes #674.
- Fixed bug when `Errors` that threw with no arguments: `throw new Error()` and had their messages appended would duplicate the message over and over again. Fixes #1338.
