Strategy for unmaintained @testing-library/cypress #32414
Description
What would you like?
Develop strategy to deal with unmaintained repo https://github.com/testing-library/cypress-testing-library
Why is this needed?
- The previous maintainer of https://github.com/testing-library/cypress-testing-library wrote in ci: update validate workflow versions testing-library/cypress-testing-library#289 (review)
Yeah, there's no active maintainer. Cypress should follow playwright's example and build these queries in as an official part of their API.
with the background information that:
- Repo https://github.com/testing-library/cypress-testing-library is the source of npm package @testing-library/cypress
- Cypress uses @testing-library/cypress as a dependency
- For each major version release of Cypress, the
peerDependenciesof @testing-library/cypress need to be updated

Consider alternatives:
- Follow the recommendation from @testing-library/cypress and add functionality to Cypress
- Offer to maintain https://github.com/testing-library/cypress-testing-library as-is
- Fork the repo into a Cypress maintained repo
- Remove dependency on @testing-library/cypress
- Delay any decision and take no action
