I tried to understand the code in the driver and server package in order to fix this issue correctly: #5367

So I started by searching for the definition of cy.visit to understand what's going on there. After finding navigation.coffee, I wanted to navigate through the code. Unfortunatelly there is no "jump to symbol" support for those files in VSCode.

It would be nice, if one can provide a documentation that shows how to setup VSCode or that suggests an alternative IDE (but as there is a .vscode folder in the root folder, I think it is recommended to use VSCode :-) ).

VSCode does not support 'Go to Symbol' for CoffeeScript: microsoft/vscode#12378 (comment) Supposedly that extension will give you that feature.

I consider this personal to contributor and IDE however, since it's an extension, so I wouldn't consider this necessary for our contributing documentation.

We're working to convert our coffee docs to js also #2690
