Hi I am Trying to run cypress test through Jenkins and am getting the test form my local m/c not form github and am Executing windows batch command "./node_modules/.bin/cypress run --spec "cypress\integration\SignUpTestCases\NewUserSignUp.spec.js" in Bulid configuration.

and i am getting this error

C:\Users\akash\CypressAutomation>./node_modules/.bin/cypress run --spec "cypress\integration\SignUpTestCases\NewUserSignUp.spec.js" The cypress npm package is installed, but the Cypress binary is missing.

We expected the binary to be installed here: C:\WINDOWS\system32\config\systemprofile\AppData\Local\Cypress\Cache\4.4.1\Cypress\Cypress.exe

Reasons it may be missing:

  • You're caching 'node_modules' but are not caching this path: C:\WINDOWS\system32\config\systemprofile\AppData\Local\Cypress\Cache
  • You ran 'npm install' at an earlier build step but did not persist: C:\WINDOWS\system32\config\systemprofile\AppData\Local\Cypress\Cache

Properly caching the binary will fix this error and avoid downloading and unzipping Cypress.

Alternatively, you can run 'cypress install' to download the binary again.

WHat is the problem here .....or pls tell me about cypress configuration with Jenkins!!!!

Hi am still facing same problem but not found any solution yet.... - Akshat
If you're using Docker use Docker image with Cypress preinstalled with all its dependencies. I made it work that way. - mr_incredible

Please set up environment variable CYPRESS_RUN_BINARY and its value should be your cypress runner location. （the runner defauly localtion is ~/AppData\Local\Cypress\Cache） the variable setting: Name: CYPRESS_RUN_BINARY Value:C:\Users\Administrator\AppData\Local\Cypress\Cache\4.8.0\Cypress\Cypress.exe

Or you can add the command in the jenkins job: set CYPRESS_RUN_BINARY=C:\Users\Administrator\AppData\Local\Cypress\Cache\4.8.0\Cypress\Cypress.exe before run the cypress cases.

Your problem probably exists because you have node_modules added to your git repository.

  1. Remove node_modules folder from your repository
  2. add node_modules to .gitignore file.
  3. commit changes, push them and try again.
