Keep Cypress E2E running past a storefront SyntaxError

[chrsmutti]

What problem is this solving?

The biggy storefront HTML injects a recsys snippet whose API key is interpolated away. That leaves an unterminated string and Cypress 8 fails every spec in before():

SyntaxError: Unexpected identifier

That happens with VTEX_WORKSPACE=chrs, master, and no workspace, so it is not a linked-app issue. After ignoring only that exception, the specs still failed on 2022 catalog counts, stale selectors, and visitPath() building http:// URLs against an HTTPS baseUrl.

How to test it?

yarn cypress run --env VTEX_WORKSPACE=master
yarn cypress run --env VTEX_WORKSPACE=chrs

Both suites passed locally at 29/29 after these changes (Electron).

Daily E2E (after merge to main): Actions → Daily Cypress E2E → Run workflow. Failures post to #search-personalization-alerts via the SLACK_WEBHOOK repo secret (Slack workflow trigger). A test event was already delivered to that channel.

Screenshots or example usage:

Ignored storefront exception (narrow match only):

if (
  err.name === 'SyntaxError' &&
  err.message.includes('Unexpected identifier')
) {
  return false
}

Full-text search used to require exactly 3 gallery items; the page now shows 8 organic products plus sponsored tiles. The spec now checks that results exist and the reported total is > 0.

Describe alternatives you've considered, if any.

Fixing the recsys snippet on the storefront would be the real root-cause fix. This repo can only keep E2E from aborting on that app exception.

Repo secret SLACK_WEBHOOK is already set on vtex/search-tests. The daily workflow Slack variables are status, text, and run_url.
