Session not carried from cypress tab to new lighthouse tab

[Gimlehr]

Using cypress to navigate though an app logging in or completing a form when a test hits cy.lighthouse a new tab is opened with a new session which causes the app to navigate back to the start page (due to security restrictions/anti forgery if a customer hits a page in the journey without a valid session they get sent to the "home page"), light house then runs against the home page rather than the required page, is there a way to run the audit against the page that cypress already has open?

Is the intended behaviour to open a new tab, if so what is the best way to handle session storage not being carried across to the new tab?

Hello and thanks for reporting. However, I would have appreciated you take the time to fill the issue template so that I can give you a proper answer 😊 .

Would you mind providing a repro so that I can try things out?

My apologies I missed the template option some more info below

What does not work?
Application using identity server authentication and anti forgery session, when lighthouse opens a new tab the application directs to the landing/home page as it is unable to find a valid session

How to reproduce?
Internal code so unable to share repo and valid data required to use public site which is not shareable

Expected behavior
Lighthouse should run on the current page which has been navigated to using cypress

Environment (please complete the following information):

• OS: Windows 10

Without a proper project I can play with, I can't do anything to investigate since I have no clue about your setup, how you do the things on the backend/frontend.

It's not possible for me to give you a proper answer without something I can play with.

Closing for now but feel free to reopen with a repro of the problem if you can at some points 🙏🏻

Thanks for your help on the project 😊

@Gimlehr can you try the workaround in #65.
