Porting over an existing Cypress project to WSL device, "No version of Cypress is installed" when it definitely is - cypress

I've been using Cypress locally on my MacBook for some time and it's been going great. Lately my device has been having trouble, so I set up WSL on my PC so I could have a backup in case the worst were to happen.
We use yarn to handle dependencies, and I used NPM to install Cypress and Yarn.
Originally everything I was installing was going into a mounted virtual drive, where nothing was working. I eventually got it running off the linux directory, and Yarn and the dependencies installed fine. I also was able to install Cypress#9.5.4, which is the current version I'm using.
Every time I try to run Cypress headed or headless, I'm being met with the following:
No version of Cypress is installed in: /home/workterminal/.cache/Cypress/9.5.4/Cypress
Please reinstall Cypress by running: cypress install
----------
Cypress executable not found at: /home/workterminal/.cache/Cypress/9.5.4/Cypress/Cypress
----------
A couple coworkers took a stab at it, and this is as far as we could get before I decided to reach out for help here. We got me off the mounted virtual drive, we got NPM and Yarn installed properly after using the linux directory, and then reinstalled Cypress using yarn add cypress#9.5.4, which completed successfully.
We've tried expanding $PATH to include everywhere where Cypress exists, but it always looks in .cache. What can I do to toubleshoot further?

Yarn not working on windows + react-native-builder-bob, not even showing an error message

I'm developing a lib for common use in a couple react-native projets and for that I'm using a scaffolding lib recommended on react-native official docs page. This is what the company uses, so I have to use it too.
For some reason, running yarn from the command line on my windows machine does absolutely nothing, not even outputs an error message. The company had to lend me a Mac so I can work on the lib. I'm not saying just yarn commands like trying to install packages, even running yarn --version gives me no output, it just halts.
That's the strange part, it only happens if I'm running yarn from inside the project's folder. If I run yarn on my windows machine from some arbitrary folder or any project that does not uses react-native-builder-bob, yarn works normally. I can install packages, check the version, run commands, everything ok. That makes me think it's not something wrong with my yarn installation. Both the mac and my windows have installed version 1.22.10.
I dug through the issues on bob's github but could find nothing regarding windows and yarn. I also have a spare SSD which I tried running a fresh windows install, setting up my work environment again and still got the same issue.
I really want to use my windows machine to work on this project since it's way more powerful than the mac they lend me. Any help would be much appreciated
I had the same problem. Fixed it by changing options object scripts/bootstrap.js
const options = {
cwd: process.cwd(),
env: process.env,
stdio: 'inherit',
encoding: 'utf-8',
shell: true //add this property
};
I'm assuming you have already installed yarn and node.

Vagrant dev build throwing errors

So I am having some issues with vagrant. I had initially tried to report this as an issue on the vagrant github issue boards, but they kept closing the issues without responding to them. I guess they decided I wasn't worth their time, or they were just behaving unprofessionally. Anyway, Here is the problem: I use vagrant with virtualbox, and a new version of virtualbox was recently released that is, unfortunately, not compatible with the latest vagrant installation.
However, the people at hashicorp have already updated the source code so that it is compatible with the new version of virtualbox, but you have to build the vagrant executable from the source repo (instructions here). So I followed the instructions and vagrant is working just like it used to.....when the only command I need to run is vagrant up. I should also mention ahead of time that, in order to run the vagrant dev build, the current working directory needs to be the root of the source code repo and the dev build can only be run using the following command with ruby:
bundle exec vagrant
With that being said, I needed to update one of my custom boxes, so I built a vm in the updated version of virtualbox and ran the below command
bundle exec vagrant package --base go --vagrantfile ../../vagrant/vagrantfile
After an extended period of time, vagrant spat back out the following error
The executable 'bsdtar' Vagrant is trying to run was not found in the %PATH% variable. This is an `error. Please verify this software is installed and on the path.`
I should also note that I use a windows machine and that this error never occurred when using the installed version of vagrant. At this point, I had posted the issue on github to get some input from the devs, but they (very unprofessionally) decided to ignore my requests for help and close the issues without providing any response. I used the GNUwin32 project to make numerous unix commands available to my Windows environment and added the folder to my PATH environment variable. I then run the same command again to create my new box and it works!! So then I upload it to the vagrant cloud and attempt to update the vagrant box that is stored on my system by running the following command:
bundle exec vagrant box update
Then, after waiting for a while, vagrant then spat this error out at me:
The box failed to unpackage properly. Please verify that the box
file you're trying to add is not corrupted and that enough disk space
is available and then try again.
The output from attempting to unpackage (if any):
C:\gnuwin32\bin/bsdtar.EXE: invalid option -- s
Usage:
List: bsdtar.EXE -tf <archive-filename>
Extract: bsdtar.EXE -xf <archive-filename>
Create: bsdtar.EXE -cf <archive-filename> [filenames...]
Help: bsdtar.EXE --help
Another error, and still involving this bsdtar tool. It does not appear that anyone else is reporting the issue I am running into because I think they are just waiting for hashicorp to release the new official installation, but, just to give you a look into their priorities, the version of virtualbox that was released which no longer worked with vagrant was released back on December 10. It has been over a month since and there is still no updated release.
So, I am hoping that someone out there might be able to find out why I keep running into these errors when trying to use vagrant's dev build and provide a solution. If not, then maybe if someone else is able to reproduce the issue and report it to hashicorp, maybe they will listen to someone else.
If you are on Ubuntu 20.04 then bsdtar was removed. Try to install libarchive-tools package.
$ sudo apt-get install libarchive-tools
I figured it out. My original hypothesis was correct: since vagrant is a tool that was built primarily to be run on linux machines, then vagrant runs in windows, the installation includes a mingw environment with all of the dependencies vagrant needs to function and which the installed vagrant executable imports into the console session when run. This why the dev build kept failing: because it was not importing this mingw environment. So, in order to fix the issue, I first cloned the vagrant source code repo from github and followed the instructions I linked to above to build the executable from the source repo. I then copied all of the files in the source repo into the following folder:
<hashicorp install folder root>\Vagrant\embedded\gems\2.2.6\gems\vagrant-<version num>
So, for me, the destination directory is C:\HashiCorp\Vagrant\embedded\gems\2.2.6\gems\vagrant-2.2.6
This directory is identical to the source code repo, and copying the source code repo to the above folder replaces the installation version of vagrant with the dev build. After I did this, running the vagrant commands which had failed previously normally (as in, without using ruby or bundle) worked. I hope this helps someone else out there who Hashicorp has decided is not worth their time.

Cannot run tests without sudo on Mac OS X High Sierra

I'm having a very strange issue:
Working on a project, which is a monorepo managed with lerna, I am unable to run tests for some reason unless I use sudo. I know it is not a project configuration issue, because no one else on my team is experiencing this problem.
The error, which is thrown immediately, ends up being:
Jest encountered an unexpected token
...
/Users/jasmar/dev/project/src/__setup__/setupTest.js:1
({"Object.<anonymous>":function(module,exports,require,__dirname,__filename,global,jest){import { configure } from 'enzyme';
My environment is:
Mac OS X High Sierra
yarn (installed via brew)
Node 8.10.0 (via nvm; installed via curl)
I am an admin on the machine and have run sudo chmod -R ug+w . against the project directory to no avail.
I've also tried npm run test to no avail.
The test script that yarn runs is FORCE_COLOR=1 lerna --concurrency=4 run test and I have tried dropping concurrency to 1.
While running sudo yarn test does work, it is problematic as it generates new snapshots with incorrect permissions and makes managing version control extremely difficult.
Any ideas would be hugely appreciated.
Thanks!

ChromeDriver stopped working after reinstall.. Worked fine before - no other changes made. (macOS)

I'm new to Selenium webdriver but the issue that I am running into does not seem like a common problem (looked everywhere for solutions for 4+ hours).
macOS High Sierra 10.13.2 - Selenium 3.13.0 [via pip3] -
ChromeDriver 2.40 [via web source] - Chrome 68 - Python 3.7
Here's what happened:
Initially chromedriver is in my Applications directory with .bashrc and .bash_profile including:
export PATH="$PATH:/usr/local/Cellar/python/3.7.0/bin:/Applications"
I was building a scraper in Python 3.7 everything is working fine executing from command line:
python3.7 scraper.py
I want to start running scraper.py from inside SublimeText3.
I copy chromedriver into /usr/local/Cellar/python/3.7.0/bin to be available for my python3 Sublime build system.
Doesn't work: something to do with it not being the original.
Accidentally deleted original.... So I remove all traces of chromedriver and redownload to Applications directory (original working conditions).
Now, I try to run again from command line and I'm getting Only local connections are allowed.
I try to execute chromedriver on the command line and I get bash: command not found. Even when I am in the Applications directory! Whereas before I could execute chromedriver from any directory.
Every solution online suggests that it's either a compatibility issue or a PATH issue but neither is the case.
Tried rebooting my system, reinstalling python, reinstalling Selenium, reinstalling chromedriver again, moving chromedriver/redirecting PATH, rebooting my system again, everything...
Any input would be greatly appreciated. I'm thinking it has more to do with the OS then anything else. But can't make heads or tails of this. Also wondering if using a virtualenv would be able to circumvent this issue?
UPDATE: To anyone experiencing a similar issue, I would recommend just using a virtualenv. This allows you to work in an isolated python environment without having to clutter up your system with global packages and potentially risking a bug in your system's configuration.

unison "-repeat watch" not working

I recently installed unison on my home machine (OSX 10.9) and on my remote server (Ubuntu 12.04 64-bit).
I have version 2.40.102 installed in both place. I used 'brew install unison' on my Mac, and I compiled from source on the server.
The issue is that I can't get "-repeat watch" to work. It connects, but then does nothing.
Contacting server...
Connected [//... -> //...]
And that's it. If I pass anything, like, '1' to the -repeat flag it works just fine.
Is there something else that I need to do in order to get it to watch for changes and sync when something changes?
You should update unison to the latest version. According to the manual, prior to version 2.48.3 if the file-monitoring program failed it would silently ignore the issue. In the changelog for 2.48.3:
The file watcher now fails when unable to watch a directory, rather than silently ignoring the issue.
You should update unison to the latest version so at the very least you will get an error message if it is the file watcher that is failing. Version 2.48.3 also made quite a few improvements to the file watcher (unison-fsmonitor), so this should fix your problem.
