URI malformed just accessing localhost

[jayporta]

Cypress version 9.5.3 (when I upgraded, I was no longer able to resize the panels or click anything in the Chrome window)

I set up Cypress for the first time in an existing React codebase. All I did was try cy.visit('') after setting the baseUrl as http://localhost:3000 and I immediately got a URI malformed error.

Test:

describe('home', () => {
  it('works', () => {
    cy.visit('');
  });

cypress.json:

{ "baseUrl": "http://localhost:3000" }
Has anyone run into this issue? I haven't found a relevant solution online yet.

I found this workaround on Stackoverflow:

  Cypress.on('uncaught:exception', (err, runnable) => {
    return false;
  });
