0.12.8

Released 12/2/2015

Features:

• There is now a new Error Messages Page which will provide additional explanation when you are getting errors from Cypress. These errors will be directly linked to (like how Angular provides errors).
• Instead of hard coding external documentation, we now link everything through a redirection portal. This will prevent any links / documentation from ever breaking due to reorganization or renaming.
• Cypress now throws a specific error message (with a link to further explanation) if you attempt to run commands outside of a test. Usually this happens accidentally when you write cy.commands inside of a describe or context block instead of the it. I've wasted too much time and almost bombed entire presentations / demos so I've finally stopped this from ever happening again. If you ever see this error message, trust me, you will forever thank me.
• The error message: Cannot call cy.method() because the current subject has been removed or detached from the DOM. has been rewritten to provide much clearer information on why this is happening, including a string representation of your DOM element. Additionally it will have its own error page dedicated to explaining how this happens and what you can do to prevent it.

Misc:

• Rewrote error message which is displayed when Cypress cannot parse your test / spec file. Now a list of suggestions are given and an external link is provided which further explains how this may happen.
• Clarified the "Default Message" page when you have not cy.visit() your application yet.
• Whitelisted .coffee, .scss, .less XHR's from displaying in the Command Log.
