Cypress does report beforeEach and afterEach hooks errors only afterEach error

[jjkavalam]

Current behavior

Following test (cypress/e2e/spec.cy.js) throws 2 errors. Both are reported in the console output. But the dashboard only reports one of them. Please see the linked repo for screenshots and logs.

Desired behavior

All errors should be reported in the dashboard.

I've been able to reproduce this with the example code thanks @jjkavalam. The Dashboard is reporting what is logged by the command log in the App. In the App, an error in a beforeEach shows up, and if there is an error in an afterEach, the afterEach shows up instead.

If we do intend to show just one error message - we should show the beforeEach, but since both blocks executed, it seems correct to show both errors in the log.

Same problem here, if a test fails and then the after/afterEach also fails the report will only pass the last error.
There is no way to retrieve the main error of the test even within the hooks of test:after:run, its like its been overwritten by the last error:
describe('mocha behavior with multiple errors', function () { beforeEach(function () { throw new Error('error 1') }) it('sample test', function () { throw new Error('error 3') }) afterEach( function () { throw new Error('error 2') }) });
So only the last error will be passed to the reporter and there is no way to recover the main test error nowhere
