cypress-sql-server crashes cypress after upgrade to 15.2.0

[stanislavlacko10]

After commenting references to cypress-sql-server, the API tests without DB connections would work.
Otherwise following error message is thrown:
On 14.X cypress everything worked.

https://www.npmjs.com/package/cypress-sql-server is 7 years old.

Check the current list of plugins on https://docs.cypress.io/app/plugins/plugins-list where there is a newer https://github.com/testervippro/cypress-sql

I don't have personal experience with this, but it may help you.

Solution:
There was incorrect initialization of plugin within our framework.
Breaking change with Cypress 15.X. -> Node.js core modules (like util) are no longer polyfilled in the browser context. This means any code tat tries to use Node.js APIs outside of the Node context will crash.

So what helped was to initialize plugin only in setupNodeEvents in cypress.config.ts
