404 on https://qa.myapp.com/__cypress__/command

[gaboma19]

Has anyone else encountered getting a 404 on the gem's endpoint? The gem is installed and setup and everything... I'd appreciate some tips to debug this.

It works on my machine but not in my app's QA environment.

CypressError: cy.request() failed on:

https://qa.myapp.com/__cypress__/command

The response we received from your web server was:

  > 404: Not Found

This was considered a failure because the status code was not '2xx' or '3xx'.

If you do not want status codes to cause failures pass the option: 'failOnStatusCode: false'

@gaboma19 Are you trying to run cypress against a Rails app running in production mode?
The default is only load cypress-on-rails when running in test mode due possible security implications when having the gem and middleware available on a production app.

You could use cypress without the cypress-on-rails commands (EG cy.app, cy.appFactories )
OR
You can move cypress-on-rails gem out of development and test groups and enable the middleware in config/initializers/cypress_on_rails.rb and set c.use_middleware = true

Let me know if any of this helps.

Closing issue due to no response

Same issue, is this route suppose to be there by default?
RAILS_ENV=test rake routes | grep cypress
No command route.

[grantspeelman]

it is not a route, it's middleware

Make sure to check you cypress_on_rails.rb initializer and make sure use_middleware is enabled for your environment.

I have faced the same issue, in config/initializer/cypress_on_rails.rb my cypress directory path was wrong and I was running rails server in development env. So rails s -e test fixes the issue.

Hope this helps!
