User facing changelog

  • The Cypress.Cookies.defaults() whitelist option has been renamed to preserve to more closely reflect its behavior.
  • The cy.server() whitelist option has been renamed to ignore to more closely reflect its behavior.

Additional details

  • This PR renames all instances of the the word whitelist in user-facing APIs, code, and tests.
  • When renaming the keys, we decided to rename them based on the real intent/behavior of the keys, as opposed to maintaining a 1to1 matching change of what whitelist typically means. I think this will be more explicit upfront about what the keys function is rather than a generic whitelist or allow key.
  • This PR does not change occurrences of the word for 3rd party integrations (Chrome and Firefox both have keys we need to send that include whitelist.

How has the user experience changed?

cy.server()

// Before
cy.server({ whitelist: () => {}})

// After
cy.server({ ignore: () => {}})

An error will now throw when defining whitelist function on cy.server().

// Before
Cypress.Cookies.default({ whitelist: 'session_id'})

// After
Cypress.Cookies.default({ preserve: 'session_id'})

An error will now throw when defining whitelist option on Cypress.Cookies.default().

This change makes it more inclusive by replacing terms that can be perceived as offensive to more self-explanatory names (blacklist/whitelist can reinforce the association of black as bad and white as good).

Examples of projects that already made the change:
Rails
Golang
Graphite Web
HTML
