Answer 1

You can see your webpack logs by running cypress when [documenting][1] in debug mode [1]: https://docs.cypress.io/guides/guides/debugging#Print-DEBUG-logs

Mac/Linux

DEBUG=cypress:* cypress run

Windows

set DEBUG=cypress:*
cypress run

Everything you do in Cypress is logged in, one of which is cypress:webpack, which can give you the full message.

And Also please try, adding an empty .babelrc file to the cypress roo directory allowed me to work around this issue. cypress/.babelrc

{}
