@nrwl/cypress not installing cypress

[gioragutt]

Current Behavior

When adding @nrwl/cypress and generating a new e2e project, it does not add cypress itself to the dependencies.

Expected Behavior

When using @nrwl/cypress, running e2e should work OOTB without installing cypress manually, at least without concrete warnings in the CLI that it's supposed to be a manual step.

Steps to Reproduce

npx create-nx-workspace@14.8.4 test-repo # version is 14.8.4
cd test-repo
npm add -D @nrwl/cypress
npx nx generate @nrwl/cypress:cypress-project test-1 --baseUrl=localhost:3000

Failure Logs

> nx run test-1:e2e

 >  NX   Cannot find module 'cypress'

I'm able to reproduce this, unsure what happened recently but it seems like the postinstall script isn't running anymore for cypress.

To get around it today you can run npx cypress install to force the install but going to look more into this. Thank you for the bug report.
