on('fail') not reliably continuing test after failure

[wilecoyte78]

Current behavior

In Cypress 13 this used to go to the next line and continue with the testing and now in Cypress 14 it does not.

Desired behavior

Continue on with test even though failure has been found.

Test code to reproduce

describe('Testing', () => {
    it('Testing', () => {
        cy.on('fail', (err, runnable) => {
            console.log('ConsoleLog', err.message, runnable);
            // alert(err.message);

            return false;
        });
        cy.visit('https://www.google.com');
        cy.get('[value="Google Search"]').should('not.be.visible');
        cy.get('textarea').type('test');
    });
});

Hi, I'm not seeing the difference in behavior with this example. I tried version 14.0.3, 14.0.1, 13.17.0, 13.0.0. What is the behavior you are expecting? Can you share a screenshot?

@wilecoyte78 We'll need a reproducible example that we can run that demonstrates the issue. I'm not seeing unintended behavior in the example provided. No commands run after the fail event.
