I actually have a run now that's been "running" for 19 hours waiting for results. Not sure how I can remove it?

[jennifer-shehane]

Yes, this unfortunately didn't make it in 3.0, will be aiming for 3.1 release of this now.

Deleting a run is also a feature. Opened an issue here for that: https://github.com/cypress-io/cypress/issues/1839

This is totally needed! My test failed in Circle CI, but is still running in Cypress - almost an hour now.

@brian-mann TODO for run cancellation on test runner

• [ ] Test runner should expect 422 RUN_CANCELLED and 422 INSTANCE_CANCELLED (or whatever the API ends up sending and write specific error message:
  >This run was cancelled by ...... at ...... To see the results of the run visit ....url
• [ ] When user cancels run in CI or when kills process locally -via SIGKILL, SIGINT, SIGTERM (or something) - could we send a request from the Test Runner to the API to do a POST runs/id/cancel to cancel the run - (may not have cancelledBy in this situation - so may be null)?

its still not there in 3.1.4. my test are running in dashboard for more than 1.5 hours now

[jennifer-shehane]

@puneetiet Yes, this run cancellation not been released yet. If the run runs longer than 90 minutes, you should open a new issue because this should not happen.

my tests are running in dashboard more than 22 hours now.. (version 3.2) how I can stop them?

[jennifer-shehane]

@dafiber This should never happen. If you can, please email extra details to [email protected] about your run.

Any news regarding the Cancel button? Thanks!

[DennisLoska]

My question is not 100% related, but is there a way to cancel a run/spec when using the Cypress module API? I have not found anything in the docs which would suggest that. I would like to be able to cancel a run with e.g. cy.cancel(), or do I need to run cypress in a Node child process and end the child process in order to end a running test?

holle How to remove test from the dashboard vesion 3.3.1?thanks

[jennifer-shehane]

@DennisLoska You may want to look at some of the workarounds in this issue: https://github.com/cypress-io/cypress/issues/518

@SUSANO-O This is not currently supported. See this issue: https://github.com/cypress-io/cypress/issues/1839

[jhays-nhaschools]

I don't know whether this is technically feasible, but if possible, it would be nice if cancelled runs still had video output.

hello good day there are examples of how to use window other than cypress documents, muchas gracias.

[rikumo]

Hi. Just I'm having same issue as @dafiber. How do I stop my spec file that has been running for a while now. The job has already failed in circleci. Or even a workaround for this would be appreciated. Thanks.

[ChaseBig]

Hello, any updates on this? @jennifer-shehane

Or any feasible workarounds? 90% of my builds sit there still thinking tests are running even though they're not.
