Right now there doesn't seem to be enough information to reproduce the problem on our end. Unless we receive a reliable reproduction, we'll eventually have to close this issue until we can reproduce it. This does not mean that your issue is not happening - it just means that we do not have a path to move forward.

Please provide a reproducible example of the issue you're encountering. Here are some tips for providing a Short, Self Contained, Correct, Example and our own Troubleshooting Cypress guide.

All my projects were working and all of a sudden they all started with this error.
Anyway, I did a new test and managed to reproduce the error.
Thanks

@kyhamanaka It sounds like your Cypress App is corrupted. Could you try following these steps to delete your local Cypress cache and re-install?

1. Run cypress cache clear
2. Run cypress install
3. Try running Cypress again.

[kyhamanaka]

showing message below

[flotwig]

@kyhamanaka try using npx cypress cache clear and npx cypress install, instead.

[kyhamanaka]

The error continues, I'm going to put two evidences where one is with the old version of my project and the other with the most recent version

• Recent version
  

• Old version
  

[flotwig]

@kyhamanaka this seems like it could be an upstream bug in Electron, I see some old reports of a similar issue on their repo: electron/electron#31675

Can you try 2 things for me please?

1. Run npx electron@latest - you should see a little Electron window pop up, and it should not crash.
2. Run npx electron@21.0.0 - you should see a little Electron window pop up, and it should not crash.

Both of these should show a screen similar to this:

Let me know if you have success here.

E: Could possibly be happening if your local firewall doesn't allow listening on localhost, since we use an internal HTTP server for running Cypress.

[kyhamanaka]

**Same error follow the log:

If the problem is the firewall what do I need to request so that this error does not occur.**

[mjhenkes]

This might be a dumb question, but did you verify that cypress exists at this location?
"C:\Users\kelly.hamanaka\AppData\Local\Cypress\Cache\12.6.0\Cypress\Cypress.exe"

[kyhamanaka]

Yes, follows the evidence

[mjhenkes]

I wonder if the language is tripping up where cypress is looking, users instead of usuarios

try setting the run binary env to: CYPRESS_RUN_BINARY=C:\Usuários\kelly.hamanaka\AppData\Local\Cypress\Cache\12.6.0\Cypress\Cypress.exe

Thank you for your help

\node_modules.bin\cypress.cmd install

npx cypress open -b electron

[Willey1986]

@kyhamanaka and everyone else coming here from google.

We had a similar issue, cypress simply crashed on startup with a similar message. It seems like cypress has problems when the computer is set to enery saving mode (Windows 11).

Perhaps the startup takes to long an cypress decides to kill the electron process.

[afahmiparidin]

@kyhamanaka try using npx cypress cache clear and npx cypress install, instead.

This works for me
