Cypress tests no longer run after upgrade from cypress version 11 to 12

[rsamour]

I have been using cypress and running my automated tests in watch mode without issue up to version 11.
When cypress upgraded to version 12 my tests no longer execute. I see the following message in my Console window: "[Violation] Forced reflow while executing JavaScript took 37ms"
If I roll back to version 11 my tests execute with no issue again.
Any idea on how to fix this?
