Monitoring test issues with cypress 9.7.0
We recently updated the gluon library to make use of Cypress 9.7.0 (updated from 8.3.1).
The istio dashboard check for monitoring is consistently failing (timing out) with no clear error. The test appears to stall around/after the Istio Service Dashboard
check - logs generally look like:
Starting the check for the Istio Service Dashboard
Loading the dashboard menu...
Dashboard menu is loaded
Clicking on the Istio Service Dashboard item...
Istio Service Dashboard has loaded
Charts with no data: 2 of threshold: 4
Regardless of the helm test timeout it stalls at this spot and does not complete (attempted up to 30 minute timeout with no change).
The test appears to run completely locally with no issue so it's unclear what the problem is exactly. There are a large amount of changes in between 8x and 9.x so it's entirely possible that some of the functionality in this test was broken by the update.
BB CI is currently pinned to use the older image (8.3.1) - pipelines showing the failures (not very helpful) can be viewed here - https://repo1.dso.mil/platform-one/big-bang/bigbang/-/merge_requests/1822
