.type() does not type random characters (reproducibility is 10%)

[Gennadiii]

• Operating System: Windows 10
• Cypress Version: 1.4.2
• Browser Version: Chrome 63

Bug?

Current behavior:

cy.get('some css locator').first().clear().type('1000');

the field I'm typing to is input with type='number'
10% times I get input 100 (without the last character)

How did you came up with the 10 percent reproducibility? Running the same test multiple times in a row and see if or when it fails? so runs 10 times the same test and 1 fails? or...

Is there a reason why you don't run the lastest version of Cypress and Chrome?

I trigger test run multiple times in a row. 10% is an approximate number. This old version was set up some time ago and I've just joined the project. I'll see if I can upgrade but if there's a solution or a reason why it's happening - would be good to know.
Thanks.

I have a similar issue, all my tests pass when I run them separately, however when running them all at once, (doing some actions like typing in a field many many times over the course of a test run) I'll occasionally, and inconsistently end up with truncated strings in the inputs. usually missing the last couple letters.

I'm looking into this as part of the #1241 cy.type() epic.

I'm still seeing inconsistencies with type(), I can't reproduce them on my local machine, they only happen on circle CI.

It doesn't make it to the end of the string, and then moves on to the next action.

EDIT: Decided to open a new issue #2973
