Browser: 'chrome' was not found on your system or is not supported by Cypress.

Shivani1796 commented 3 years ago

When I am using Cypress I can only se Electron browser. Although I have both firefox & chrome in my computer by Cypress only detects Electron & says:

**Can't run because you've entered an invalid browser name.

Browser: 'chrome' was not found on your system or is not supported by Cypress.**

Are you using Docker?

Please see our troubleshooting guide on Launching Browsers

Could you run Cypress in debug mode specifically logging cypress:launcher logs and run cypress info and print the entire set of logs here?

I downgraded from 9.5.1 to 9.4.1 to avoid a separate bug, and this just started happening after the downgrade. Previously I was using 8.6.0 and it was working fine.

Running on Windows 10 via Git Bash.

This log seems odd, that location is actually where Chrome is:

I also tried clearing app data folder and explicitly adding C:\Windows\System32\wbem to my PATH as recommended in other issues, but that hasn't helped. Fresh install of node_modules including cypress didn't help either.

HarlesPilter commented 2 years ago

@jennifer-shehane Having the same issue. But for me it happens on docker. I am using docker image cypress/browsers:node16.14.0-slim-chrome99-ff97 but I have narrowed it down to happening after I have run npm ci --cache .npm --prefer-offline --no-audit

Run container with the above image
Run npx cypress info
Chrome and FF are both found
Run npm ci --cache .npm --prefer-offline --no-audit
Chrome is not found, but FF is.
google-chrome and google-chrome-stable are both in /usr/bin folder
have also tried usin cypress run --browser /usr/bin/google-chrome, but get the same as here https://github.com/cypress-io/cypress/issues/15258#issuecomment-788565353 even though the google-chrome is there
/usr/bin folder is present in the PATH
stdout for chrome are empty strings (Exaclty the same thing as they report here https://github.com/cypress-io/cypress/issues/8611#issuecomment-827325269)
using cypress v9.5.3
there's no separate reference to chrome or chromium in my package.json
also tried with cypress/browsers:node16.14.0-edge and it can't find edge either. So seems to affect only chromium based browsers

Have the same issue on GitLab CI, installing cypress and chrome directly in the job (in .yml) file. yarn add --dev chrome cypress@9.7.0

and it's funny that I get chromium instead of chrome

nischi commented 2 years ago

i do have also the same issue on an m1 max macbook

drptbl commented 2 years ago

I'm able to reproduce this issue with official docker container: FROM cypress/browsers:node18.6.0-chrome105-ff104 on MacBook Pro (13-inch, M2, 2022).

Same problem in CI jenkins cypress version 12.5.1 I tried to switch a version to older one (all to 10.0.0). Didn't help

rooby commented 1 year ago

The issue for me on Windows seems to be a permissions issue when running the wmic datafile command. E.g.

Command failed with EPERM: wmic datafile where name="C:\path\to\chrome\chrome.exe" get Version /value spawn EPERM

Even though when I run that command manually in CMD it successfully returns the version.

I have a pretty locked down PC in my work environment, but surely if I'm providing Cypress with the path to chrome it can just use that path.

abhi1693 commented 1 year ago

That's not how permissions work. The user that's using the path should have execution related permissions on that path first. Otherwise, anyone with a path can run anything no matter how much you lock your system down.

rooby commented 1 year ago

@abhi1693 My user has permission to run chrome, and my user is running Cypress. My user has permission to run wmic directly in CMD, however if I try to run it in any other context (e.g. PowerShell, Git bash) I get permission denied. My assumption is that the permission error here is with wmic, not with Chrome. I don't understand why Cypress needs to run wmic if I'm giving it the full path to Chrome.

@abhi1693 Are you perhaps using a machine with a corporate proxy? It's difficult to investigate this issue since it is specific to your machine. If you are part of a team, Is this happening to anyone else? Any additional context would be appreciated so we can investigate further.

Right now there doesn't seem to be enough information to reproduce the problem on our end. Unless we receive a reliable reproduction, we'll eventually have to close this issue until we can reproduce it. This does not mean that your issue is not happening - it just means that we do not have a path to move forward.

Please provide a reproducible example of the issue you're encountering. Here are some tips for providing a Short, Self Contained, Correct, Example and our own Troubleshooting Cypress guide.

rooby commented 1 year ago

@warrensplayer I provided the cause of the issue in my case in a previous comment.

the problem was caused by not having permission to run wmic. So ideally there would be an option to specify the exact path to Chrome and not use wmic at all. Should I open a new issue for that specifically?

nagash77 commented 1 year ago

@rooby please feel free to submit that feature request. Based on our current priorities I do not see us prioritizing that work though.
