How does it work?

The Gitpod configuration in .gitpod.yml contains the following settings:

• image: A custom Docker image to use for the development environment workspace.
• tasks: Two terminals, one that install dependencies and starts the development server. The other one that opens Cypress.
• ports: Instructions to open port 6080 in a new tab. This is where the Virtual Desktop runs and where you can interact with Cypress.

The .gitpod.Dockerfile:

• Uses the gitpod/workspace-full-vnc base image, which includes a virtual desktop.
• Installs the required dependencies to run Cypress.
  • This is documented at https://docs.cypress.io/guides/guides/continuous-integration.html#Dependencies.
