> Project: Metron
> Issue Type: Bug
> Reporter: Shane Ardell

> Priority: Major
> Time Spent: 1h 10m
> Remaining Estimate: 0h

> As of recent, there have been multiple unpredictable Cypress failures in
> Travis. While looking into these failures, I noticed a few anti-patterns we
> have in place that could definitely cause these failures:
> 1) We currently run `ng serve --aot` as a test server for Cypress. We are
> running this command in parallel with the command that starts Cypress. As you
> could imagine, this presents a race condition where Cypress could start
> running before the server starts. Instead of using Angular CLI to build and
> serve our project for Cypress to test against, we should first build the
> project, then serve the built project with the Express server we have in
> place already. Serving an already built project with Express is so fast we
> should be able to confidently run it in parallel with the Cypress test script
> and not worry about any race conditions failing our tests. This is the
> standard practice that has been shown in other Angular/Cypress test examples.
> 2) Per the Cypress team's best practice recommendations, [we should remove
> the command to logout in the afterEach
> hook|https://docs.cypress.io/guides/references/best-practices.html#Using-after-or-afterEach-hooks]
> since it's unnecessary for our needs and may be the cause for our failures
> regarding the logout link.
> 3) Again per the Cypress team's best practices, [we should set a baseUrl in
> our cypress.json config
> file|https://docs.cypress.io/guides/references/best-practices.html#Setting-a-global-baseUrl].
