Could you run Cypress in debug mode mode and print the entire set of logs here?

Specifically run:

set DEBUG=cypress:server:protocol

node_modules\.bin\cypress run  --browser chrome

[Snidhi-92]

PS C:\Users\nidhi\CypressWorkspace> set DEBUG=cypress:server:protocol
PS C:\Users\nidhi\CypressWorkspace> node_modules\.bin\cypress run  --browser chrome

[jennifer-shehane]

Sorry, I don't see the logs I'm looking for here, it doesn't look like the DEBUG logs are taking effect. Can you actually try the below:

set DEBUG=cypress:*

node_modules\.bin\cypress run  --browser chrome

[Snidhi-92]

Same error again

[jennifer-shehane]

@Snidhi-92 Yes, my previous comment and requests will not fix your issue.

The DEBUG logs just give us more information about your run to help fix your issue, but they are not being properly set so we are not seeing the logs. The logs should look something like below if they are set properly with new logs coming from cypress:cli etc:

[mobileappd]

Im experiencing the same issues. See attached logs.
cyrpress_chrome_crash_logs.txt

[jennifer-shehane]

Relevant logs from @mobileappd logs. Basically continues to log it's failure to connect over and over again until it gets to retryIndex: 19

Then it starts to log this error over and over, while still throwing errs to connect to CRI target occasionally until it gets to retryIndex: 32, and then the delay on the retry is undefined at this point for some reason. cypress:server:protocol error finding CRI target, maybe retrying { delay: undefined,

  cypress:network:connect error getting address {

  port: 80,

    errno: 'ENOTFOUND',
    code: 'ENOTFOUND',
    syscall: 'getaddrinfo',
    hostname: 'mqitnybaa'
  }
} +2s

Then a bunch of these errors:

cypress:network:connect received error on connect, retrying { iteration: 1, delay: 100, err: Error: connect ECANCELED 172.217.17.67:443     at TCPConnectWrap.afterConnect [as oncomplete] (net.js:1056:14) { errno: 'ECANCELED', code: 'ECANCELED', syscall: 'connect', address: '172.217.17.67', port: 443 } } +15ms

@jennifer-shehane Do we know what is the cause of this issue and how to resolve this?

[jennifer-shehane]

No, we haven't been able to reproduce it reliably on our side.

[cypress-bot]

The code for this is done in cypress-io/cypress#7368, but has yet to be released.
We'll update this issue and reference the changelog when it's released.

[cypress-bot]

Released in 4.6.0.

This comment thread has been locked. If you are still experiencing this issue after upgrading to
Cypress v4.6.0, please open a new issue.

[jennifer-shehane]

Just wanted to followup to see if this issue has been resolved for others here. We've seen a new report of the same issue in 4.6.0 and want to verify if the fix has worked or not for others. #7450

[symon-skelly]

This issue is occurring for me when I am running more than once spec file in chrome headless mode.

if I run the specs individually, the issue does not occur.

[wasiqkhan786]

Its not fix either in release 4.6.0

[kawerewagaba]

Still an issue in cypress ^8.7.0. It's in Chrome. Firefox works!

[frontendflorian]

I saw this issue in last 2 weeks twice with Cypress v9.7.0 and Firefox v101 in CI. Is this thread still up to date? Are there any other issues you can recommend for solving this issue? I already checked out #7450, but it seems to be mainly about Chrome.
