GitHub Actions ( Cypress Runs) || Getting "Run finished" immediately when "Run Starts"

[janavi-p]

Current behavior

Desired behavior

GitHub action should initiate test execution and run it completely without any deviations

Test code to reproduce

jobs:
  cypress-run:
    name: 'Cypress Test on Ubuntu'
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    timeout-minutes: 25
    strategy:
      fail-fast: false # https://github.com/cypress-io/github-action/issues/48
      matrix:
        containers: [1] # Uses 1 parallel instance

    steps:
      - name: 'Checkout the repository'
        uses: actions/checkout@v4
        with:
          ref: main

      - name: 'git branch info'
        run: | 
          git branch

      - name: 'Building web application to be tested'
        run: yarn

      - name: Cypress run
        uses: cypress-io/github-action@v6
        with:
          browser: electron
          config-file: cypress.config.js
          spec: "cypress/e2e/specs/regression-specs/staging/**/*.cy.js"
          group: 'UI-Electron'
          record: true
          parallel: true

        env:
          CYPRESS_RECORD_KEY: ${{ secrets.CYPRESS_RECORD_KEY }}

Found an existing bug With Cypress : https://github.com/cypress-io/github-action/issues/147 This seems to have been fixed in v2.2 I am already using v6

Note: The spec files run seamlessly when I re-run the same job. It fails via manual run, scheduled job and via automatically.

Typically there will be output of the 'Run finished' prematurely without running the tests if Cypress detects a ciBuildId that has already completed running - this means it's associated with another older run.

Ensure that the ciBuildId is unique for the run in order to trigger a new run in Cypress. https://docs.cypress.io/guides/cloud/smart-orchestration/parallelization#Linking-CI-machines-for-parallelization-or-grouping
