Running cypress verify always logs 'It looks like this is your first time using Cypress: x.x.x'

[jennifer-shehane]

Current behavior:

When running cypress verify, it always logs the message below (even though this is maybe my 100th time using Cypress of this version.

$ cypress verify
It looks like this is your first time using Cypress: 3.8.3

 ✔  Verified Cypress! /Users/jennifer/Library/Caches/Cypress/3.8.3/Cypress.app

Desired behavior:

This is misleading - and seems like Cypress does not know what it's checking for.

Test code to reproduce

Run cypress verify on any project that you've already installed Cypress version on and ran it multiple times.

• Line of code where this log comes from: https://github.com/cypress-io/cypress/blob/develop/cli/lib/tasks/verify.js#L172:L172

I believe this is naively printing - expecting it to only be run during install when it needs to be verified, but we force verification when running cypress verify command - so this message should be skipped.

• force verification - https://github.com/cypress-io/cypress/blob/develop/cli/index.js#L21:L21

cypress verify logs

  cypress:cli Found binary version 3.8.3 installed in: /Users/jennifer/Library/Caches/Cypress/3.8.3/Cypress.app +2ms
  cypress:cli { verified: true } +3ms
  cypress:cli is Verified ? true +1ms
  cypress:cli force verify +0ms

We shouldn't log this message if options.force is true
