Installing chrome extension opens a new tab and cypress loses the tests

[lutundra]

I am testing the chrome extension, and I install it through the code:

module.exports = (on, config) => {
on("before:browser:launch", (browser, launchOptions) => {
launchOptions.extensions.push("absolute/path/to/unzipped/extension");
return launchOptions;
});
};
The extension though is opening the new tab as soon as Cypress is opened. So tests start running in main window, but the new tab (caused by extension) is opened and cypress loses it.

Is there any workaround ?

I got the same error. Using an extension and it opens a new tab first then never come back and test case failed then.
