Upgraded Cypress from 7.7.0 to 11.2.0, The tests are not able to visit the url when running the Jenkins build, Throws Failed to construct 'URL': Invalid URL

[ngodugu-marklogic]

We run our E2E tests against Chrome 70 on windows machine in headed mode using command npm install && cypress run --browser chrome --headed "--config" "baseUrl=http:serveraddress:8080" "--env" "Host=serveraddress". The tests connect to a server url hosted on a Linux machine (hosted on our network). We recently upgraded our cypress version from 7.7.0 to 11.2.0 and the tests started failing where the tests fail at visit step as shown in the img below.


Here is our jenkins script below:

env.cypressFFBaseUrl=cypressFFBaseUrl.trim()
     env.FFHost=FFHost.trim()
     bat  script: """

Hard to say without a minimal reproduction.

I'd recommend updating to each major - 8 -> 9 -> 10 -> 11. Find out which one broke you, and I can provide more useful help.
