Remove support for non-operational CI provider "Shippable"

[MikeMcC399]

What would you like?

Remove redundant code in:

• Cypress
• cypress-example-kitchensink Edit: done

and other repositories owned by https://github.com/cypress-io/

which supported the CI provider "Shippable".

Why is this needed?

The provider is no longer operating and the CI domain https://app.shippable.com which was previously hosting https://app.shippable.com/github/cypress-io/cypress-example-kitchensink no longer exists.

Removing the code is a clean-up activity.

Background

The former CI provider "Shippable" no longer provides a service.

• https://app.shippable.com/ is no longer reachable.

• http://docs.shippable.com/ is no longer reachable.

• Shippable's GitHub repositories under https://github.com/Shippable have not been updated since September 2021.

• See We’ve Acquired Shippable to Complete DevOps Pipeline Automation From Code to Production February 21, 2019. JFrog stated they would replace shippable with JFrog Pipelines however it seems there is no simple migration from a Shippable workflow to a JFrog Pipelines workflow. JFrog Pipelines would have to be treated like a completely new CI provider.

@MikeMcC399 We’re open to a PR to clean this up in Cypress.

[MikeMcC399]

Considering that the latest releases of the following npm modules used by Cypress 13.3.0 continue to list "Shippable" as an active CI provider, it may generate unexpected problems to remove Shippable from the Cypress code base. The potential risk does not justify the benefits of a clean-up attempt in this case, since the continued presence of the "Shippable" code in Cypress is not known to generate any issues.

Module	Cypress uses
ci-info@3.9.0	3.8.0
is-ci@3.0.1	3.0.1

Additionally used in the Cypress repo by semantic-release@19.0.3:

Module	Cypress uses
env-ci@10.0.0	5.0.2
@npmcli/ci-detect@3.0.2	2.0.0

(@npmcli/ci-detect is deprecated and replaced by ci-info)

Closing this issue.

Edit: ci-info@4.0.0 removed "Shippable CI".
