No version of Cypress is installed #2610

Closed jmargolisvt closed 5 years ago

jmargolisvt commented 6 years ago

Current behavior:

I've installed Cypress successfully, but when I try to run it with cypress open I get:

No version of Cypress is installed in: /Users/ddcbethanyr/Library/Caches/Cypress/3.1.0/Cypress.app

Please reinstall Cypress by running: cypress install

Cypress executable not found at: /Users/ddcbethanyr/Library/Caches/Cypress/3.1.0/Cypress.app/Contents/MacOS/Cypress

Desired behavior:

cypress open should open Cypress

Steps to reproduce:

npm i cypress cypress open

Versions

Cypress 3.1.0 Node 8.12.0 OSX High Sierra

jennifer-shehane commented 6 years ago

Does it work after running cypress install?

jmargolisvt commented 6 years ago

No it doesn't. The only way I've been able to get around it is to install it globally. Works for the day, but need to reinstall it all over again the next day.

kuceb commented 6 years ago

@jmargolisvt what output do you get with cypress install ? What about cypress install --force ?

jmargolisvt commented 6 years ago

Both commands yield -bash: cypress: command not found Again, it worked for the day yesterday when I globally installed, now it appears to be gone again today. Very strange.

kuceb commented 6 years ago

@jmargolisvt just like any other node module, you'll have to execute cypress from the ./node_modules/.bin directory. Can you try running:

./node_modules/.bin/cypress install
jmargolisvt commented 6 years ago

Yes, that will install cypress and it will work for the moment. Restart the computer, and it's gone again, back to the original error message.

kuceb commented 6 years ago

@jmargolisvt it looks like Cypress was installed as a different user, ddcbethanyr instead of jeff. Which user did you expect Cypress to install for?

jmargolisvt commented 6 years ago

Sorry, mixed that up. They are both for the same user. It's my coworker that's having this issue (edited my first post).

kuceb commented 6 years ago

@jmargolisvt ok, I would see if the entire /Users/ddcbethanyr/Library/Caches/ directory is being cleared on reboot.

jmargolisvt commented 6 years ago

It is not being cleared on reboot. Still plenty of stuff in there, just not Cypress.

kuceb commented 6 years ago

@jmargolisvt so cypress cache exists before reboot, but is gone after?

jmargolisvt commented 6 years ago

That is correct.

kuceb commented 6 years ago

@jmargolisvt well I'm not sure why that would be the case...can you check the permissions of the cypress cache folder after the binary is installed? for example with ls -lha

jmargolisvt commented 6 years ago 
$ ls -lha
total 0
drwxr-xr-x   4 ddcbethanyr  avdefs   128B Oct 17 13:16 .
drwx------+ 42 ddcbethanyr  avdefs   1.3K Oct 17 14:44 ..

drwx------@  3 ddcbethanyr  avdefs    96B Oct 17 13:16 cy

Anything look wrong here?

kuceb commented 6 years ago

@jmargolisvt i'd compare that to other items in Library/Caches, see if there's any obvious differences

jmargolisvt commented 6 years ago

I have the same permissions on my machine (which works correctly).

kuceb commented 6 years ago

@jmargolisvt well, I don't know what Cypress can do about the binary disappearing...this is seemingly something very specific to your co-workers system. They can try exporting CYPRESS_CACHE_FOLDER to somewhere else on their computer.

lcastanedaCV commented 5 years ago

I have the same issue. I even changed the CYPRESS_CACHE_FOLDER to c:/ and is not working Any ideas?

jennifer-shehane commented 5 years ago

Unfortunately we'll have to close this issue if no reproducible example is provided. Can anyone provide a way to reproduce this?

sergioblanco86 commented 5 years ago

Hi there, I managed to install cypress and run the tests locally, but now I want to run the project and the terminal shows me cypress: command not found, don't know why! PLEASE, help!

sergioblanco86 commented 5 years ago

Solved, I run it with the command $(npm bin)/cypress run

hellfireSteve commented 5 years ago

Closing an unsolved issue is a cop out - even if you cannot reproduce it.

kuceb commented 5 years ago

@hellfireSteve I see where you're coming from, however without a reproducible or further feedback on the issue, we can't be certain this actually is a problem with cypress.

gracenoah commented 5 years ago

We've been seeing this issue in CI for as long as we've been using cypress.

No version of Cypress is installed in: /var/lib/buildkite-agent/.cache/Cypress/3.1.0/Cypress

The directory exists but the binary is missing:

Looking at this particular agent's history, I see that in an earlier run the job was killed part way through while running yarn install:

yarn install v1.13.0

Same exact experience on latest macOS Mojave. Been happening for a while. Install works - within a day or so - same error.

craig10 commented 5 years ago

I am also having the same issue. I can run on my local mac, but when I push to the cloud I get:

No version of Cypress is installed in: /home/vcap/app/~/Library/Caches/Cypress/3.2.0/Cypress

I realize this issue is closed - I can open a new one if necessary. Looking for suggestions on how to resolve this issue.

pramoth001 commented 5 years ago

I am also having the same issue. When I install it works fine for a day.. it disappears the next day.

wsfuller commented 5 years ago

Also experiencing this issue. Unable to run Cypress after rebooting or shutting off my computer on macOS Mojave

jennifer-shehane commented 5 years ago

@dylanbromby @craig10 @pramoth001 @wsfuller If you're currently having this issue. Please provide:

Please also try to clear the Cypress cache and reinstall. As mentioned above, if an install process is killed partway through, it may have affected the cache directory.

stevePostman commented 5 years ago

@jennifer-shehane So it looks like the issue in my case is caused by running CleanMyMac X.

I can see the cache directory in HD/Users/~/Library/Caches/Cypress when doing npm_install. However running a system clean CleanMyMac will remove all files in this directory

Screen Shot 2019-05-09 at 10 10 08 AM
dylanbromby commented 5 years ago

I also run CleanMyMac X. I bet that's it.

kuceb commented 5 years ago

I suspected it was some programming cleaning the cache :+1:

You can move the cache folder to somewhere else using https://docs.cypress.io/guides/getting-started/installing-cypress.html#Binary-cache

if you want to avoid it getting cleaned up. Maybe move it to ~/Cypress/cache

ElderMorgun commented 5 years ago

Nope, it's not about some cleaning, coz i'm using cypress on windows and don't use something like CleanMyMac, but have got the same problem after update to version 3.3.0. Actually cypress is open only time after installing, after reboot it's still open but when I tried to start test, cypress's closed and never running again before I reinstall it.

moivica commented 5 years ago

Same issue active - macOS 10.14.2.
Unable to run Cypress after rebooting or shutting off my computer. There's no "CleanMyMac X" or similar apps installed...

garybfeefo commented 5 years ago

Having the same issue - macOS 10.14.5 Unable to run Cypress after rebooting or shutting off my computer.

saddacracker commented 5 years ago

Also having the same issue with macOS 10.14.5. However, I'm unable to run even without a reboot or shutting down. I also don't have Clean My Mac thingie either.

mikule1 commented 5 years ago

Having same issue with Windows 10 64bit

kuceb commented 5 years ago

@ElderMorgun @moivica @garybfeefo @saddacracker @mikule1

Can you post the exact error messages you're getting? also if you want to be super helpful, run with debug logs enabled:

MacOS/Linux

DEBUG=cypress* node_modules/.bin/cypress run

Windows:

set DEBUG=cypress*
node_modules/.bin/cypress run
gracenoah commented 5 years ago

I strongly suspect that the cypress installation is not atomic and when it fails part way through for any reason (laptop closed, OOM, network error, CI job killed, etc.) then it leaves a partial installation which is not handled correctly next time it tries to run. See https://github.com/cypress-io/cypress/issues/2610#issuecomment-480008905 Sorry, I don't have logs. We had to change our CI job to re-install cypress every time it runs in case the previous installation was corrupt.

Also, can we please reopen this issue? It seems like everyone is running into it.

cameronc56 commented 5 years ago

Just ran into this with docker on cypress v3.4.1: Dockerfile: 

FROM cypress/browsers:node12.6.0-chrome75                                                                                                                                                            WORKDIR /code                                                                                       
ADD . /code

CMD /bin/bash entrypoint.sh

entrypoint just runs 'cypress run --spec path/to/test/file.js'

output after building and running the image:

kuceb commented 5 years ago

@cameronc56 since the Cypress binary is installed during the postinstall phase, if you mount your project in a docker container and run npm install, and node_modules is already present, then the postinstall hook will not run and the binary won't be installed. Possibly we should change the default behavior to install the binary instead of erroring

@saddacracker can you confirm the Cypress.app folder is located at /Users/j.cardwell/Library/Caches/Cypress/3.4.1/ ? If not, the cypress postinstall script either didn't run, or your computer has cleaned up the binary from your cache folder. Does running ./node_modules/.bin/cypress install fix it?

panimaya commented 5 years ago

Please reopen this issue. I have the same issue on Ubunt 18.04. When I run cypress open from cypress/node_modules/.bin, I get

Command 'cypress' not found, did you mean:

command 'cmpress' from deb infernal

Try: sudo apt install

After globally reinstalling cypress, it works. However, once I restart my machine, cypress cannot be found again.

kuceb commented 5 years ago

@panimaya this issue is about the No version of Cypress is installed in: error message, not the error you're getting. Please read https://docs.cypress.io/guides/getting-started/installing-cypress.html#npm-install for our guide on installing Cypress

I have tried installing multiple times - after a shutdown, I keep getting the same error. While the error message is different, issue seems to be similar. I believe the users reporting this issue so far have been on Mac or Windows, while I am on Ubuntu.

Please let me know if you think this is still a completely different issue.

ghost commented 4 years ago

npm install --save-dev cypress

klugjo commented 4 years ago

I had the same issue, and it was indeed my company anti virus or something of the sort that was deleting the .exe file

ashsepra commented 4 years ago

This happens to me also

Screen Shot 2020-09-03 at 19 29 12

I solve the problem by reinstall the Cypress using the command npm install cypress --save-dev

Screen Shot 2020-09-03 at 19 32 37

This might be happening because running the clear cache command so the Cypress installation not found

pacoita commented 4 years ago

I can confirm, as @ashsepra said, just reinstalling it fixed the problem on my side:
