Correct, Windows is not yet supported. There is only a handful of early adopters who have required Windows so it has not been a priority.
However, it will be fairly easy to add it, and we plan on integrating Windows by the time we are publicly live.
Are you using Windows in CI as well? Or just locally while you develop? Any additional info about your organization / its size would be helpful to prioritize Windows support.
I'm in a company of 7. We all use windows for local dev.
Error message updated in 0.15.3 when desktop app downloaded in Windows:
Sorry, Windows is not yet supported. We currently support OSX and Linux.
You can use Cypress if you install a Linux VM using something like VirtualBox.
You can track this issue here:
https://github.com/cypress-io/cypress/issues/74
Is there any ETA on the resolution of this issue?
Windows will be supported prior to our public release, there is not a specific date set for this.

In our company we also have a lot of windows system for local dev. Can't wait to be able to test your testing framework on Windows.

I was quite in favour of a Windows client, but then I realised I do everything in Docker already (including Selenium testing), so if there is a Docker image ready to go, that's a route in for me.
@jayfresh Check the open issue for a Cypress Docker image here: #165
+1 would love to be able to run cypress on my windows dev machine.
+1 Primarily on the dev machine but support for running CI on Windows would be great, too so customers of Visual Studio Team Services can run it.

+1 Our dev machines are on Windows, but we are thinking about setting up some Docker image on Linux for CI.
+1 most dev machines at ING Netherlands are Windows
+1 Half of our UI devs use windows and all of our QA.
:+1: Windows based shop, dev, QA and CI all windows.

I was excited to try cypress but I'm on win7.
@brian-mann @jennifer-mann - in regard to fairly easy to add
mentioned on top, in orders of magnitude, is that weeks or months, and is a live public release in 2016 a possibility, or is it not on near horizon?
Also voicing support for Windows... err... support. I was excited to show colleagues the tool but we're running a mix of Mac/Win with the majority being Windows users so that's going to be tricky

+1 We are a Windows only shop for both dev and QA. Would love to try Cypress and also integrate with our CI - either VSTS (Visual Studio Team Services), Visual Studio Team Build or Jenkins

Windows, please!

I first saw Cypress at JS Monthly London and was so disappointed to hear there was currently no Windows support.
Working in a company where we use Windows. Our tests are written using Protractor and I'm looking forward to attempting a switch to using Cypress. It just looks so user friendly and easy for debugging! βΊοΈ
Windows ! C mon guys, you can do this !

Cypress looks very promising, unfortunately no support for Windows... So for me, it's just an empty promise as long as there's no Windows support.
too bad! Meanwhile, Jasmine, Require, Marionette etc within TypeScript will be my day-to-day job...
Another reason why Windows is evilish...
sigh
+1 We have all dev machines with Windows 7.
+1 (team of 5)
We eventually solved this issue by buying Macbooks for whole team... #quickfix :D
Any update on this? Or is there any way we can help?
We would really appreciate a windows version too :+1:
I was really disappointed to find out there is no Windows support. For the past 6 years of my career I've nearly always worked in a mostly Windows dev evironments in small and big companies. I will try it out on a Linux VM and I would hope all would work out fine !
+1 for the Windows port !
I'm working for the Dutch government, whete Windows is standard. So please provide a Windows version! Mac is a niche market compared to Windows!
Please have a windows version
+1 for havinf a windows version and support in visual studio online CI

we plan on integrating Windows by the time we are publicly live.
@brian-mann as far as I understand cypress is now publicly live. Is there an ETA for Windows support?
We are not publicly live. Windows is something we are looking at investing developer time into supporting but it will happen after being live. You'll see our 0.20.0 + 1.0.0 release soon.
I didn't want to wait. Installed VirtualBox, Ubuntu, java8, Eclipse and the TFS plugin for it, nodejs-legacy, npm, git, cypress-cli, cypress and started coding.
Outside of overcoming the learning curve of all of the above (never used any of them), I ran into the following issues along the way: (Edit: forgot I had to change a BIOS setting to allow virtualization... something something....) VirtualBox over Cisco's AnyConnect VPN, no internet access in Ubuntu instance apt-get install nodejs doesn't work, needs nodejs-legacy npm registry blocked by corporate firewall git is an unlisted dependency of cypress-cli
It was very late in the process I saw a small mention of a TFS plugin for IntelliJ, which I hear is "better".
Edit: Blogged. https://dev.to/antonfrattaroli/cant-wait-for-windows-cypress
+1 for Windows support. CI Build server runs Linux, devs on Macs and Windows.
Our CI has both, Linux and Windows machines, but our devs are mostly on Windows (dictated by the company policy for some weird reason), so it would be nice to be able to run Cypress on Win indeed!
We got Cypress running on Win10 (inside VirtualBox), and we need a few more tweaks to make this production ready. Here is a screenshot, wish there was a screenshot of the team standing around the laptop and watching Cy run on Windows π
Great news, thanks Gleb and team!
Super! Congrats!! Really looking forward to publication

Seems that windows platform is not supported.
