I have the same issue but its only the case on my CI-Pipeline. I tried to run tests on my CI-Pipeline on Cypress Version 12.12.0 and it worked, now I tried it again with the newest version 13.5.1 and I am getting the error:
"CypressError: Timed out retrying after 10000ms: cy.readFile() must only be invoked from the spec file or support file."
