Cypress 3.1.4 - Windows regression - Unable to save videos due to EEXIST error

[YOU54F]

Current behavior:

With Cypress 3.1.4 installed on Windows via Git Bash, when running a test suite with the CLI runner , an error occurs when trying to rename the compressed video file

Desired behavior:

It should save the video without error as per Cypress 3.1.3

Steps to reproduce: (app code and test code)

1. Pull down the following repo:- https://github.com/YOU54F/cypressio-docker-typescript
2. Update package.json to state "cypress": "3.1.4"
3. Run npm install
4. Run npm run test:cypress
5. See error as below

Reverting to "cypress": "3.1.3" resolves the issue

FWIW, I tested this on my macbook pro with mojave and cypress 3.1.4 and had no issue 👍

[jennifer-shehane]

The only thing that I can think of in the last release that only affected Windows was this PR #2937

[bahmutov]

there was also ffmpeg upgrade due to new FFMPEG for windows release, see #2990

[Saibamen]

Please retest with Cypress 3.1.5

Hi, thanks for the update. I've since sold my laptop which had this dev environment on, but I cloned the hard drive, so will stick that in another machine and retest with 3.1.5

I'll aim to get it retested by the end of the week. Thanks again all

Closing. Please comment if this behavior is still present and we can reopen.

Rested on a different machine and cannot reproduce across 3.13 - 3.1.5.

Thanks for investigating all,

locking deps is a good plan too so glad that is being implemented now 🤘
