Direct Download version 10.0.0 can't initialize

[kercon]

Current behavior

The version was downloaded thru Direct Download after initialising the cypress e2e project throws an Error on Loading configFile.

Error: Cannot find module 'cypress'

Desired behavior

Self initialized e2e project should be able to run in Direct Downloaded Installation.

Test code to reproduce

const { defineConfig } = require("cypress");

module.exports = defineConfig({
  e2e: {
    setupNodeEvents(on, config) {
      // implement node event listeners here
    },
  },
});

Yes, this is a legitimate issue. Thanks for taking the time for report this.

When we detect that Cypress has been opened via direct download, we should scaffold the e2e files differently like below. We need a test for this because there's some belief amongst the team that this should have already been addressed.

module.exports = {
  e2e: {
    setupNodeEvents(on, config) {
      // implement node event listeners here
    },
  },
};

Yes, I now confirmed if the config file looks like this then direct download loads the config file and can run sample tests.
