Mocha error occurs sometimes using Cypress plugins

[kodriscollics]

Looking to see if any has seen this problem or something similar. I don't know if the issue lies with Cypress or, the Cypress-Harvester and/or cypress-intellij-reporter plugins.

I am using:

• Cypress 8.3.0 Cypress
• Harvester plugin 1.1.0
• IntelliJ IDEA 2021.2 Ultimate
• Chrome Version 92.0.4515.159
• cypress-intellij-reporter 0.0.6

I am creating some tests using Cypress. Some of the tests involve tables, making sure that the tables can be sorted (ascending and descending) properly by different columns. I use Cypress-Harvester to "scrape" the table and assert that the sorting is correct.

Some of the column checks work fine. But for some reason, checking other columns is throwing an error, ending the test. This is an example of the Cypress/Cypress-Harvester code which works just fine:

            //Sorting by Task asc
            cy.task('log', '  Testing sorted by TASK # ascending...')
            cy.getByID('taskIdHeader').click()

            cy.get('#dataTable')
                .should('have.length.above', 0)
                .scrapeTable()
                .then((table) => {
                        expect(table.columnLabels).to.deep.eq([
                            'Task ↓',
                            'Name',
                            'Date Received',
                            'Type',
                            'Group'])

                        expect(table.isPropertySorted(['task'], ['asc'])).to.be.true
                    }
                )

This is an example of the Cypress/Cypress-Harvester code which fails the assertion:

            //Sorting by NAME asc
            cy.task('log', '  Testing sorted by NAME ascending...')
            cy.getByID('unitNameNumberHeader').click()

            cy.get('#dataTable')
                .should('have.length.above', 0)
                .scrapeTable()
                .then((table) => {
                        expect(table.columnLabels).to.deep.eq([
                            'Task #',
                            'Name ↓',
                            'Date Received',
                            'Type',
                            'Group'])

                        expect(table.isPropertySorted(['name'], ['asc'])).to.be.true
                    }
                )

This is the error:

Any insights are appreciated.

When running the above test within IntelliJ, the cypress-intellij-reporter is generating the above error message upon test failure which is preventing the true test failure error(s) from surfacing. When I exit IntelliJ and run the above test at a Windows CMD line, it removes cypress-intellij-reporter from the equation. The test still fails but for other reasons in the test code. I have opened the following issue against cypress-intellij-reporter:
