Describe how to solve "cached binary not found" error on CI

bahmutov commented 4 years ago

Dominic Elm, our ambassador had this problem in branch https://travis-ci.org/d3lm/ngx-drag-to-select/jobs/594782686 where yarn would not install Cypress binary. The docs in https://docs.cypress.io/guides/references/error-messages.html#A-Cached-Cypress-Binary-Could-not-be-found are less than clear. I think we can put an additional section there telling to:

upgrade yarn or npm version to avoid their bugs
trigger clean rebuild by telling CI to clean its cache and rebuild
run install with DEBUG=cypress:cli environment variable to see what is going with the installation
run npx cypress cache path and npx cypress cache list to see installed binary versions
maybe add npx cypress install command to ensure the binary is there, even if the postinstall hook is not triggered by some reason

Maybe link to https://github.com/bahmutov/yarn-cypress-cache as another example

Run npm run e2e

> xpo-go-member-portal@0.1.0 e2e
> cypress run --headless

The cypress npm package is installed, but the Cypress binary is missing.

We expected the binary to be installed here: /home/runner/.cache/Cypress/8.7.0/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.
