cypress-broken-cookies

This is a minimal reproduction sample for an issue with how cookies are handled when set from cy.request() responses. If we navigate using cy.visit(), the cookies are set and sent correctly. However, if we use cy.request() to make a request that sets a cookie for the parent domain of the page we want to visit, the cookie is not sent. The real use case for this is to initialize user session programatically, without having to navigate through the UI, and then execute the test by visiting the target page.

To reproduce:

  1. you need to have a local DNS host entry for domain local.cypress.test, for example:
# add to /etc/hosts file
127.0.0.1 local.cypress.test
  1. run $ node index.js in a terminal window
  2. run $ yarn cypress open in another terminal window
  3. run request.test.js test file

All the tests are passing if we use Cypress 3.4.1, but the last one - using request cookies with parent domain doesn't work - is failing from versions 3.5.0 onwards. (I've tried a few of them, including the latest 4.0.0, 4.0.1 and 4.1.0)
