Could you provide any more details? Maybe enable debugging and post the logs ? Maybe a link to the action run?

We are also experiencing this today. These are the logs:

Run cypress-io/github-action@v2
/usr/bin/yarn --frozen-lockfile
yarn install v1.22.5
[1/4] Resolving packages...
success Already up-to-date.

/usr/local/bin/npx cypress verify
The cypress npm package is installed, but the Cypress binary is missing.

We expected the binary to be installed here: /home/runner/.cache/Cypress/5.0.0/Cypress/Cypress

Reasons it may be missing:

- You're caching 'node_modules' but are not caching this path: /home/runner/.cache/Cypress
- You ran 'npm install' at an earlier build step but did not persist: /home/runner/.cache/Cypress

Properly caching the binary will fix this error and avoid downloading and unzipping Cypress.

Alternatively, you can run 'cypress install' to download the binary again.

Looking at the changes we've made since Friday, where it last worked, I don't expect it to be something on our end. I'll try to double-check.

miohtama · 2020-10-28T13:37:43Z

I am not sure if related but starting to see "cannot run binary errors" as well very recently.

(node:28066) UnhandledPromiseRejectionWarning: Error: There was an error when attempting to execute the process '/usr/local/bin/npm'. This may indicate the process failed to start. Error: spawn /usr/local/bin/npm ENOENT

With the following receipt

    - name: Cypress run
      uses: cypress-io/github-action@v2
      with:
        working-directory: ./frontend_new
        build: npm run build:testing
        start: npm run start:integration-test-server
        record: true

        CI: true
        # pass the Dashboard record key as an environment variable
        CYPRESS_RECORD_KEY: ${{ secrets.CYPRESS_RECORD_KEY }}

Almost looks like PATH or /usr/bin is destroyed between build and start steps. npm works in build, but no longer in start.

Still diagnosing the issue.

bausmeier · 2020-10-28T13:42:49Z

We're seeing the exact same error as @miohtama, except with yarn instead of npm. Haven't managed to do any further digging.

Our config is:

- name: Install dependencies
  run: yarn install --frozen-lockfile
- name: Check formatting
  run: yarn run format:check
- name: Run Cypress
  uses: cypress-io/github-action@v2
  with:
    working-directory: web
    install: false
    start: yarn serve

miohtama · 2020-10-28T14:03:26Z

It is a regression in Cypress action. I do not know what or where.

I fixed by pinning down Cypress action to an earlier version:

    - name: Cypress run
      uses: cypress-io/[email protected]

bahmutov · 2020-10-28T14:22:47Z

The explicit version pin by is a good solution for now

Can someone run with https://github.com/cypress-io/github-action#debugging flags on and paste the full log up to the error? I wonder if the new caching does not restore the caches correctly and thus fails to run.

bahmutov · 2020-10-28T15:23:59Z

Hmm, so weird, this is working in all examples in https://github.com/bahmutov/cypress-gh-action-example

Does anyone have a public repo showing the problem?

@andersravn what the version of Cypress specified in the package.json file? Is it exact or does it use ~ or ^ or * range by any chance?

bahmutov · 2020-10-28T15:43:31Z

@andersravn can you post your full workflow file, I wonder if there is something else going, and if it does not actually install Cypress binary while doing yarn command

hrgui · 2020-10-28T15:46:36Z

I have the same problem except with yarn. yarn install works.

(node:2922) UnhandledPromiseRejectionWarning: Error: There was an error when attempting to execute the process '/usr/bin/yarn'. This may indicate the process failed to start. Error: spawn /usr/bin/yarn ENOENT

I'll see if I can repo this in a public repo, since the error is in a private repo.

hrgui · 2020-10-28T17:18:22Z

@bahmutov I was able to reproduce the error with a public version here:

https://github.com/hrgui/cypress-lerna-example/runs/1322329639

This PR shows that v2.2.7 does work:
hrgui/cypress-lerna-example#1

v2.3.0 does not:
hrgui/cypress-lerna-example#2

bahmutov · 2020-10-28T19:34:15Z

@hrgui I am trying to recreate the error and still fail. Can you try v2.3.5 please?

bahmutov · 2020-10-28T19:54:03Z

Interesting, I just recreated it in this workflow, similar to your @hrgui where the install happens in the root folder, while we try to run using yarn from the subfolder https://github.com/bahmutov/cypress-gh-action-example/runs/1322897555?check_suite_focus=true

name: subfolder
on: [push]
jobs:
  cypress-run:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - name: Checkout
        uses: actions/checkout@v2

      # first, install dependencies and Cypress
      # from the root folder using the lock file
      - name: Cypress install
        uses: cypress-io/github-action@v2
        with:
          runTests: false

      # now run the tests from the subfolder
      - name: Cypress run
        uses: cypress-io/github-action@v2
        with:
          install: false
          working-directory: packages/e2e
          start: yarn start-server

bahmutov · 2020-10-28T20:15:41Z

This is so weird. There are definitely both tools

When just printing npm or yarn version from subfolder, it fails

- name: Cypress run
  uses: cypress-io/github-action@v2
  with:
    install: false
    working-directory: packages/e2e
    start: npm --version

when not setting working-directory, the command is successful

- name: Cypress run
  uses: cypress-io/github-action@v2
  with:
    install: false
    start: npm --version

Hmm, could it be the full working directory?!

hello a solved the problem when i remove from gitIgnore the folder dist/ i am using Angular with firebase hosting

exiguus · 2025-01-05T23:09:04Z

Adding "engines" to package.json will fix the issue:

  "engines": {
    "pnpm": ">=9.0.0 <11.0.0",
    "npm": ">=10.0.0 <11.0.0",
    "node": ">=22.0.0 <23.0.0"
