Cannot `cypress verify` - Hangs on Smoke Test on WSL2

[jamesdalel]

Current behavior:

I have just installed version 4.4.0 of cypress and integrated it in to my project. I'm using using WSL Ubuntu and have install the suggested packages in the documentation.

After trying several fixes as well as reverting the version to earlier versions where I'm met with different issues.

After running DEBUG=cypress:* yarn run cypress open it looks like it's getting stuck on the smoke test time out
.

  cypress:cli disabling Electron sandbox +57ms
  cypress:cli running smoke test +1ms
  cypress:cli using Cypress executable /home/<user>/.cache/Cypress/4.4.0/Cypress/Cypress +0ms
  cypress:cli smoke test command: /home/<user>/.cache/Cypress/4.4.0/Cypress/Cypress --no-sandbox --smoke-test --ping=47 +0ms
  cypress:cli smoke test timeout 30000 ms +0ms
  ⠼  Verifying Cypress can run /home/<user>/.cache/Cypress/4.4.0/Cypress

Desired behavior:

It should continue to verify and then open Cypress

If anybody could point me in the right direction that would be much appreciated

Versions

Cypress: 4.4.0
Windows 10
Ubuntu 18.04.4 LTS

Can you try the steps mentioned in #4624

[jennifer-shehane]

Can you try clearing the cypress cache via cypress cache clear and reinstalling cypress via cypress install? Can you paste the DEBUG logs during cypress install if they fail again?

[newmankyle]

I'm also having this problem. I have the same system versions.

cypress cache clear et. al. aren't working for me.
I've verified that all apt-get dependencies are installed.
ldd ...Cypress doesn't seem to be missing anything

some minor observations that might help.

• I use the .npm-global workaround so that global dependencies are stored in my HOME directory. I install cypress as a devDependency in my project using ~/.npm-global/bin/yarn via yarn add --dev cypress.
• the browser I've installed is chromium-browser 80, installed via apt install chromium-browser
• running ~/.cache/Cypress/4.4.1/Cypress/Cypress --smoke-test --ping=101 --no-sandbox initially resulted in an error. I don't have the error anymore, but it was a permissions issue with .cache/.../Cypress/chrome-sandbox -- asking me to chown & chmod.
• after fixing the chrome-sandbox error, rerunning the ping results in (Cypress:18282): Gtk-WARNING **: 15:41:55.778: cannot open display:
• my .cache/ is located in ~, and not /root/ as I've noticed in other people's logs.
• this is for an Angular 9 project

This is my install log. (ngcc is running as an Angular postinstall hook)

[samuelmartineau]

I was in a similar case (WSL 1 - Ubuntu 18 - Windows 10 - Cypress 4.4 or 4.5) and migrating to WSL 2 seems to fix the issue

[Bjodol]

I am having similar problems, it just keeps on hanging on Window 10 - WSL version 1 - This is the debug output:

Having literally same troubles. My log output is mostly similar to the one from previous respondent:

Software Used

Windows Linux Subsystem - Ubuntu 20.04 after upgrade
Cypress 4.5.0
VcXsrv X Server 1.20.8.1 (on Windows 10.0.17763 build 17763)

As you may guess, it's WSL 1, but my hardware seems to be refusing to upgrade, so I'm unable to solve Cypress issue with WSL 2.

History

Here's very long ticket about cypress verify hanging: #819. It's now closed because two pull requests appeared that committed to the "resolution": #3807 and #4080. While author of #3807 recommends to show more detailed debug output and presents a solution, it's being closed/rejected in favor of #4080 which seems to add timeout trigger for killing verify process.

But I don't see its action in Cypress 4.5.0. I wonder if #3807 actually commits to better log output of cypress, and it's just being overlooked. Mangling permissions on ~/config doesn't solve my problem. Trying any of npx cypress cache clear && npx cypress install doesn't seem to defy this, too.

Before, all dependencies were installed without problem on Ubuntu, WSL bash rerun:

sudo apt install libgtk2.0-0 libgtk-3-0 libnotify-dev libgconf-2-4 libnss3 libxss1 libasound2 libxtst6 xauth xvfb

Both cypress open and cypress run (prepending DEBUG=cypress:* doesn't add to log output's value) freeze on Verifying Cypress can run step, and I cannot use Cypress!

Giving second thought, maybe WSL isn't viable for running any tests. How one can be sure that result will be the same when this black box receives changes? xD

[nickbreid]

I have the same setup as @vintprox -- except Cypress 4.6 -- and I've tried all the suggested fixes with no luck. My debug output looks the same as his.

[Nanstop]

Same here with 4.6.0 on Jeninks CI pipeline. I saw on another thread installing WSL can solve the issue but there is no way it is the ONLY solution. The longer this remains unsolved more people will move on to other e2e candidates.

[Nanstop]

OK, so I was able to solve the issue after 3 days of effort. I would suggest anyone to start with the Debug turned on and even with a -verbose flag when running cypress verify and cypress run. In my case the log indicates cypress cli smoke test timed out due to cypress wants root access. And after going through this issue: #2821 (comment) I was able to get it working on my linux server. Hope this helps others, I am just a js developer and if I can figure this out, you can too.

[newmankyle]

Unfortunately still haven't made progress. I've tried reading #2821 (and other referenced sources) as @Nanstop suggested, but nothing's changed
Today I've tried:

• updating to Cypress 4.6
• setting CYPRESS_CACHE_FOLDER=~/.cache (including reinstalling with the env var on)
• playing around with the DISPLAY variable (I get GTK errors)
• playing around with the HOME variable
• addressing the Owner of /tmp/.X11-unix should be set to root problem sudo chown -R root ./.X11-unix

This is my debug output now:

@Nanstop , could you maybe clarify fixed the problem for you? What was cypress trying to access as root?

[timharsch]

I had the issue of smoke test hanging as well when running a container on cypress/base, and using it to 'yarn install', './node_modules/cypress/bin/cypress install', 'cypress run'
After reading the comment #2821 and working through the yarn write access issues I came up with the following:

FROM cypress/base:12.16.2

RUN mkdir /.yarn
RUN chmod 777 /.yarn
RUN touch /.yarnrc    
RUN chmod 777 /.yarnrc
RUN mkdir -p /.cache/yarn
RUN chmod 777 /.cache/yarn

ENV HOME=/tmp

Adding the ENV is what abated the hang on smoke test for me.

[hatboyzero]

I am seeing the same behavior with 4.7.0. Hangs on smoketest and never completes.

I'm seeing the same behaviour with 4.8.0 on Jenkins. Jenkins starts a docker image based on cypress/browsers. Cypress runs fine locally in this image, but hangs on Jenkins.

Dockerfile:

FROM cypress/browsers:node13.8.0-chrome81-ff75
RUN npm i -g lerna@3.16.4
RUN npm config set registry https://....

RUN mkdir /tmp/.X11-unix
