I can't manage to open cypress in my windows machine (this is the CI environment) when I pass --config:
In cmd.exe, if I type npx cypress open cypress opens just fine;
If I instead type npx cypress open --config baseUrl=https://... then nothing appears and the command terminates without printing anything in the terminal.
In the second case, echo %errorlevel% prints 0.
I can reproduce the problem with cypress run: passing a --config baseUrl=... parameter breaks it.
I'm using cypress package and binary 3.6.0. cypress verify is happy.
The regression is now fixed in Cypress 3.8.0 (h/t to Robert DROP TABLE STUDENTS).
OLD ANSWER:
It's a regression introduced in 3.5.0 which came bundled with new Electron, where the underlying issue seems to be this PR: electron/electron#13039 (h/t Jennifer Sheane), which is fixing a security issue and is unlikely to be reverted/handled differently any time soon.
It's being tracked in cypress shows error in Windows when passing args containing a url in 3.5.0.

My Cypress tests run as expected in Chrome, Electron, & Edge.
However, when I try to run these tests against Firefox, I get the below error:
Cypress failed to make a connection to Firefox.
This usually indicates there was a problem opening the Firefox
browser.
Error: could not find CRI target

I am using Cypress version9.7.0, & using the below command:
"scripts": {
"firefoxTest": "cypress run --browser firefox"
}
One thing that may be important is that I'm using failOnStatusCode in some of the tests.
I've seen there have been similar issues before with earlier versions of Cypress such as this issue, but I believe that has been fixed in a later release.
Can someone please tell me what the issue may be?
By installing a older version from firefox (v 99) i could solve it. The idea i got from this forum https://issuehint.com/issue/cypress-io/cypress/22086 and the link for downloading an older version is from here https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/releases/99.0/win64/en-US/. Hope this helps
I'm trying to open the Test Runner in cypress first time using the command node_modules.bin\cypress open
But I'm getting the following error.
Cypress verification timed out
Command failed "path"\cypress.exe\smoke test ping=948
I had tried all other open commands as well.
Could you help me with this?
I know this question was long ago, but I just had this problem, and in case anyone does in the future, I want to tell you how I solved it. In my case I had just installed Cypress in a project, and after running npm install the problem has been solved.
I'm almost done with my bachelor thesis about e2e testing.
I can test almost anything but i cant record.
I did what everything what is documented on cypress.docs
On the picture below you ca see i set a project, which is private i got the key command to run cypress record
but when i open powershell und put the command in, i get this shitty error message (the pic below) which i have no clue about and i cant find anything on the internet, cause it seems like everybody useres mac or linux for running cypress
Please help. how can i solve this?
export is a bash keyword to set an environment variable. The Powershell equivalent is:
$env:VARIABLE_NAME=value
Or use
Set-Item -path env:VARIABLE_NAME -value 'value'
Cypress must be installed and part of the path in order to be executed. It looks like it isn't at the moment, hence PowerShell complains it can't find any command or executable matching Cypress. You should probably install NodeJS and then execute:
npm install cypress -g
to make cypress available globally in Windows.
I recently took over a cypress project; running on windows. The first time I installed, all was working. Now, subsequent to upgrading node/electron/chrome, I can't open cypress with any command. Here's what I tried:
Delete node_modules directory in my project.
npm init Answered with all defaults. node_modules directory is present but empty.
npm install cypress --save-dev (from [the doc][1]). This populated my node_modules, but installed cypress in my account (users) directory.
node_modules\.bin\cypress open That reported:
It looks like this is your first time using Cypress: 3.1.1
Verified Cypress: [in my users dir]
Opening Cypress...
At that point I can see cypress in my process list, but the UI never shows. I can run headless tests normally, so I'm OK from a CI perspective, but I still want to open the UI with my tests locally. I can launch the cypress executable in my user dir and then open my project root directory manually, but can't run an open command normally. The scripts section of package.json doesn't seem to be designed to accept a path to an exe with params.
Is there another way to call open that I'm missing?
Solution: Go to your project directory which you installed cypress, in your package.json update the cypress version to the latest , look at the releases versions link, or just install the latest from cli:
npm install cypress#latest --save-dev
Reopen again and verify:
./node_modules/.bin/cypress open
//OR
npx cypress open
Did you upgrade the Electron version that Cypress uses? Cypress uses Electron 1.8.2 which is significantly behind the latest, and Cypress does not currently support newer versions of electron. See this Github issue for more info.
try starting with debugging enabled:
DEBUG=cypress:* ./node_modules/.bin/cypress open
I can't use command npm to open cypress neither,
but command npx works well.
So you can try this in your visual studio code: npx cypress open
Using this in my code solved the issue
cypress (folder) -->support --> index.ts
add this:
import './commands'
Cypress.on('uncaught:exception', (err, runnable) => {
// returning false here prevents Cypress from failing the test
return false
})
Didn't work for me as well. I got the same error. I've created new folder in the repo.
Run npm init -y
Run npm install --save-dev cypress
Then go to ./node_modules/.bin/cypress open
And boom the error.
I've workaround it by adding:
{
"scripts": {
"test": "cypress open"
}
}
into package.json
and run cypress with npm run test
Has anyone been able to get this to work?
Environment:
Windows 7 64-bit
node.js v0.6.7
npm 1.1.0-beta-10
expresso 0.9.2
I've successfully installed via npm from zip download (after modifying package.json to remove node-jscoverage dependence). 'npm ls' lists expresso as installed. After overcoming the problem described here by commenting out the reference to SIGINT, expresso will execute from cmd window. However, when I actually attempt to run test suites, I get a 'Cannot find module' error when it tries to open the first test suite. Any help would be appreciated.
You'll have to install the module locally, too.
Have you considered using mocha? It's supposed to be expresso's successor, written by the same author.
