Hey @alexplischke, thanks for opening this issue! I was not able to reproduce this using the kitchen sink example. Is there any additional information you can provide that might help pinpoint the cause of the issue?
Thank you for taking a look!
I unfortunately do not have any additional information on this. I suppose it would have been helpful if chrome-remote-interface
would print the response body in plain text if it was not able to parse the JSON response from the browser.
Hey @alexplischke,
There are few different logs that might provide useful information. Unfortunately, I can't reproduce this. I would greatly appreciate it if you had the time to try to grab the logs in the failure scenario.
DEBUG=cypress:server:browsers:cri-client*,cypress-verbose:server:browsers:cri-client*,cypress:server:browsers:browser-cri-client npx cypress run
I ran with the DEBUG setting that was provided, but was not able to get any more information out of this error case:

For what it's worth, I was able to reproduce another connection issue that we intermittently run into. For this one, the browser does indeed start, but remains blank (cypress doesn't load itself into it).

@alexplischke thanks for providing more details. I wonder if you are having network blips while running the tests. Are you running the kitchen sink app locally when running the tests?
The tests are actually targeting the cypress hosted examples (https://example.cypress.io/).
@alexplischke We're still struggling to reproduce this on our end. I've run "cypress-example-kitchensink" against example.cypress.io
a dozen times without issue, so there must be something unique to your environment or test setup that we haven't thought of.
Thinking through things that might be causing this issue for you but not for us, is it possible you're on a corporate network/VPN that might be interjecting some network middleware (proxy, etc)? My suspicion is that the "<" unexpected character is the beginning of an HTML response from a network appliance that stomped on a JSON request.
it possible you're on a corporate network/VPN
Yep!
might be interjecting some network middleware (proxy, etc)? My suspicion is that the "<" unexpected character is the beginning of an HTML response from a network appliance that stomped on a JSON request.
But isn't the connection completely localized between the cypress instance and the browser?
@alexplischke Yes, you're correct, the chrome-remote-interface
connection in this instance should be local, but it's all IP-based so while we would hope a request to 127.0.0.1:12345
would stay local there is the possibility of VPN software or custom hosts
rules grabbing that traffic. I would hope not, but I've seen weirder stuff happen
So, where do we go from here? We haven't been able to reproduce this locally and you've told us there isn't anything of note in the debug logs which makes this a tough nut to crack. Is there anything else unique about your environment that might help narrow down the issue? A couple questions off the top of my head:
/Users/chef
- any chance you're using a product like Chef which may be imposing some network routing/rules of its own?Do you still see this issue when running off your corporate VPN/network?
Unfortunately I can't control that in the environment where I'm experiencing this issue.
I notice the userpath in the error is /Users/chef - any chance you're using a product like Chef which may be imposing some network routing/rules of its own?
That's just our internal service name, unrelated to the Chef product 😅
I see the errors are reporting "Custom Chrome 103" and "Custom Firefox 103" - I presume that indicates custom-built binaries? Do you see this issue against off-the-shelf browser versions?
Something worth mentioning is that I don't get those kind of connection errors if I use playwright or puppeteer.
Right now I'm trying to replicate what cypress is doing under the hood by using chrome-remote-interface
directly. I'll keep you posted if I can replicate it this way 🤞
Replicated 🥵
There is a proxy service that starts on 49221
and 55001
. If that overlapped with the random port that Cypress picked, it resulted in the JSON error above.
Thanks a lot for the help and sorry for any inconvenience 🙏
PS: Still baffling why cypress (or more specifically the get-port
lib wanted to pick a port that was already occupied). Maybe the newer release of get-port
is able to address this? Has the following change: https://github.com/sindresorhus/get-port/commit/c3bbed9545ce749331b32e40ae59712266e84c1b
Indeed, I'm not running into this issue after updating get-port
to version 6.1.2
. Would be great if that could find its way into cypress 🙏
@alexplischke Wow, amazing detective work! 🤯 It was no inconvenience at all - I'm glad you were able to track down what was going on, sorry I wasn't able to be more helpful.
It sounds like you have a workaround (or at least a "oh, that's why that's happening"), but I agree that what you were seeing should not be happening. I suspect you're right about the change you identified in get-port
being the magic sauce - you must have multiple network interfaces on your system and the chosen ports were already reserved but on the non-primary, or something like that. I'm going to forward your findings on to the team to see about upgrading get-port
in a future release - the only potential issue I see is that get-port
v6 requires Node 12.20 which is slightly higher than our current required Node baseline (v12.x)
Reopening so we can use this ticket to track the status of updating the get-port library once we have a minimum node version that allows us to require node >12.20. Going to route this ticket to the E2E team for prioritization in their backlog.
Could the update of get-port
be possible now? Considering that Cypress requires Node 16+ these days.
This issue has not had any activity in 180 days. Cypress evolves quickly and the reported behavior should be tested on the latest version of Cypress to verify the behavior is still occurring. It will be closed in 14 days if no updates are provided.
This issue has been closed due to inactivity.
Current behavior
Occasionally hitting this issue when running on MacOS 12, Node v14.20.0 and Chrome 103 / Firefox 103.
Desired behavior
Error should not occur.

Cypress kitchensink example.
