Why do arrow functions not work.

[steven-holloway]

This is not a good enough.
"NOTE: Do not use ES6 arrow functions for your describe or it callback. This will cause the recording function to break."
Do you have any idea why?

because the code uses this.currentTest. However, this can be fixed by listening for Cypress's test:before:run event and setting a global variable in index.js

let currentTest = ''

Cypress.on('test:before:run', ({ title }) => currentTest = title

Then, all references to this.currentTest.title can simply be replaced with currentTest

I had the same question. It's an odd requirement and error also prone. I hope it gets fixed.
