Cypress: If you shrink the reporter sidebar (Command Log) by dragging the width to be too small you cannot get it back

Current behavior:

Desired behavior:

If you manually drag and shrink the sidebar there should be a way to get it back.

Steps to reproduce:

Shrink the sidebar on the ui with the arrow drag (just like you shrink any GUI). You'll see that there is no obvious way to get this back to normal. Even when I uninstall and reinstall the package its persisting and relying on some cached data somewhere.

Versions

cypress: ^3.0.2
Chrome: 67
Mac OS

Yes, it is relying on some global app data. You can grab the left side and drag it, it's just very very tricky. 😝

But, to clear our the app data that has this saved state:

• Goto File -> View App Data
• Delete everything in here
• Close cypress and open it up again

Let me know if this works!

Omg you're right, so tiny!

It would be great if there was a toggle button that persisted next to the DOM Selector button. That way the panel could be collapsed or expanded on demand. I'd be interested in creating a PR for this but I know adding more stuff to the sidebar and control panel is a difficult subject

Yeah, this does seem like a good feature. You aren't the first one to lose the command log.

The code for this lives in the reporter package here: https://github.com/cypress-io/cypress/tree/develop/packages/reporter

When dragged too small - you could transform the left side into a button of sorts - that allows you to click and expand.

Or you could simply add a minimum width to the command log so that it's not dragged too small.
