cy.fixture timeout error with large xlsx file (100MB)

[sgomezcnvdev]

Current behavior:

Cypress is throwing a timeout error when it tries to execute the command cy.fixture('import280k.xlsx', 'binary', { timeout: 120000} ).as('import')

It happens using large files. I tried with a smaller file and it worked ok. Both files are in cypress/fixture folder.

Desired behavior:

I want to use fixture command with large files without timeout errors.

Test code to reproduce

cy.fixture('import280k.xlsx', 'binary', { timeout: 120000} ).as('import')

Versions

I tried with
Cypress 4.12.0, 4.11.0 and 4.10.0
Window Server 2008 R2

Duplicate of #8181 - this will be fixed in our next release. You can roll back to 4.11.0 in the meantime to avoid this error.

@jennifer-shehane I saw the same behavior on 4.11.0 and 4.10.0. Is it really the same error?

[jennifer-shehane]

Sorry, no, I didn't look closely enough. This is a different issue.

Hmm seems to be duplicate of #7365 isn't it?

[jennifer-shehane]

Sorry, yes. There are a few issues with large fixture files that I've gotten confused.
