Could try adding end-to-end tests for beforeunload prompting when the user has unsaved changes.

Was able to add tests for confirm prompt in parameter-editing.cy.ts, but beforeunload is trickier. Cypress can bind to the event (https://docs.cypress.io/api/cypress-api/catalog-of-events), but this event is called every time the page reloads. Also, testing beforeunload can be tricky because it can actually prevent the page from reloading (see https://glebbahmutov.com/blog/onbeforeunload/).

alexhad6 changed the title ~~Tests for beforeunload and confirm (?)~~ Tests for beforeunload
