I want to build a Dockerfile with Cypress installed, Below command is what i tried in Dockerfile

RUN npx cypress install && npx cypress run

In the logs below, the terminal seems not waiting for the cypress to finish install, and tries to run cypress directly causing error

Copy code

Suppose if i installed correctly in my local machine, it will have below log output

Copy code

$ npx cypress install --force

Cypress 12.11.0 is installed in C:\Users\random\AppData\Local\Cypress\Cache\12.11.0

Installing Cypress (version: 12.11.0)

✔  Downloaded Cypress
✔  Unzipped Cypress
✔  Finished Installation C:\Users\enhaong\AppData\Local\Cypress\Cache\12.11.0

You can now open Cypress by running: node_modules\.bin\cypress open

I have something like this in my Dockerfile to point to the location

Copy code

# point Cypress at the /root/cache no matter what user account is used
# see https://on.cypress.io/caching
ENV CYPRESS_CACHE_FOLDER=/root/.cache/Cypress
RUN npm install -g "cypress@12.5.1"
RUN cypress verify
