@Mlocik97 This appears to be an issue with npm installing. I'm not sure what we could do in this situation. Maybe try updating npm?

MikeMcC399 · 2024-03-27T18:37:58Z

@Mlocik97

Your log is showing a failure installing the Cypress binary for [email protected].

Node.js v18.19.1 automatically includes npm 10.2.4, not 8.3.0.

Please check your version of npm:

npm --version

You may also want to install the latest Node.js 18.x version. which is Node.js v18.20.0 with npm 10.5.0.

The following command works without any issue on Ubuntu 20.04.06 LTS with Node.js v18.19.1 on my test environment.

npm install cypress --save-dev

You can get additional debug information if you split the installation into Cypress npm module and Cypress binary in two steps:

npm install cypress@latest --save-dev --ignore-scripts
export DEBUG=cypress:*
npx cypress install

Mlocik97 · 2024-03-28T16:10:38Z

Fails even with newer version of NPM....

But when I used --ignore-scripts and then executed npx cypress install, I didn't got any error:

@Mlocik97

Do you want to close this issue now that you have Cypress installed?

It's possible that your previous installation attempt of Cypress with mismatched Node.js / npm versions could have left a partially installed version of Cypress which could not recover without deleting the intermediate contents.

I am also having this problem.

@stephensrmmartin

You could try:

npx cypress cache clear
npm ci --foreground-scripts
npx cypress verify

If that doesn't work, I suggest you open a new issue as your issue concerns a different environment.

stephensrmmartin · 2024-05-13T18:24:49Z

Yarn, for some reason, worked fine.

Your code produces the more likely reason (?): Apparently Xvfb was not installed.

Edit: Yep, that was it. Xvfb wasn't installed; npm works fine now. Thank you.

Edit: Yep, that was it. Xvfb wasn't installed; npm works fine now. Thank you.

You had two different problems and to find out the original reason you would have needed to run with export DEBUG=cypress:* executed. Since it is now working that would probably be difficult to reproduce. A missing Xvfb would not normally prevent Cypress installing. That issue kicks in later.

Good to hear that it's now working anyway. 👍🏻

MikeMcC399 · 2024-05-14T06:58:26Z

This issue should be closed as the original poster already confirmed that their installation was successful.

MikeMcC399 · 2024-07-10T12:55:23Z

@stephensrmmartin

In the meantime it has surfaced that installing Cypress fails using npm on Ubuntu, when Node.js has been installed using snap.

You can work around this with

npm install cypress --save-dev --foreground-scripts

see Cypress npm install with snap Node.js on Ubuntu fails to install Cypress binary cypress-documentation#5868

I would however suggest to avoid snap and use one of the (other) package managers listed by Node.js.

Mlocik97 · 2024-07-10T20:19:55Z

Oh, good to know that... I installed node.js via snap, so I guess that's it. Btw. Snap is listed in that package managers list you sent. Also I had issues installing it from nodesource as .deb. For some reason I either had conflict or only node 8 worked, which is too old and unsupported by most frameworks.

MikeMcC399 · 2024-07-11T04:59:40Z

@Mlocik97

Snap is listed in that package managers list you sent.

Thanks for pointing that out! I added "(other)" into my sentence.
