Cypress 8.0.0: A system error occurred: uv_os_get_passwd returned ENOENT (no such file or directory) on Docker #17415

knorrium · 2021-07-21T06:50:42Z

Current behavior

After updating to Cypress 8.0.0, running Firefox on Docker through Github Actions no longer works.

  cypress:server:appdata path: /github/home/.config/Cypress/cy/production +379ms
  cypress:server:appdata path: /github/home/.config/Cypress/cy/production/cache +111ms
  cypress:server:cypress exiting with err SystemError [ERR_SYSTEM_ERROR]: A system error occurred: uv_os_get_passwd returned ENOENT (no such file or directory)
    at Object.userInfo (os.js:270:11)
    at new File (/github/home/.cache/Cypress/8.0.0/Cypress/resources/app/packages/server/lib/util/file.js:26:62)
    at Object.<anonymous> (/github/home/.cache/Cypress/8.0.0/Cypress/resources/app/packages/server/lib/cache.js:8:18)
    at Module._compile (internal/modules/cjs/loader.js:1078:30)

It seems to have been introduced by this line

cypress/packages/server/lib/util/file.js

Line 26 in cf689dd

this._lockFileDir = path.join(os.tmpdir(), `cypress-${os.userInfo().uid}`)

This is happening because os.userInfo() throws when the user has no username, which is the case when running with options: --user 1001, needed to run Firefox as non-root.

Desired behavior

Running tests on Firefox works :)

Test code to reproduce

Setup a repo with a step to run tests on Firefox using Docker and Github Actions, similar to https://github.com/cypress-io/github-action#firefox - my config uses cypress/browsers:node14.17.0-chrome88-ff89 instead.

To see it failing isolated from Cypress, add the following step to just call os.userInfo() inline:

      - name: debug node userinfo
        run: node -e "console.log(os.userInfo());"

i get the exact same error in github actions. Started getting when running tests today. If you run on ubuntu-latest it works though! So that's a workaround until it's fixed in the container from cypress for anyone that finds this issue.

The issue can be avoided on POSIX by using process.geteuid(), which bypasses /etc/passwd and this error.

But on Windows, it throws:

(also, isn't it funny how os.userInfo throws when there's no username on Linux, but returns a mock uid when on Windows? 🤷)

So I'll submit a PR to use geteuid on Linux/Darwin, and a static userId on Windows.

Got the same issue on GitLab CI and Chrome, running with k8s from root and non-root on the run official latest cypress chrome and node image:

cypress-bot · 2021-07-30T16:05:22Z

The code for this is done in cypress-io/cypress#17488, but has yet to be released.
We'll update this issue and reference the changelog when it's released.

@edouard-lopez I'm running the below config - and that's working fine (just ran it right now and successfully ran all tests). It's running on firefox90 (since that's the browser that comes with ubuntu-latest on github runners).

One issue is that I don't get any recorded video though. Probably since it's missing some package to do the recording in the github runner.
(I've just commended the container information below)
