The Cypress App could not be downloaded (Can't install via NPM I on WINDOWS 2012)

[tyomasson]

Current behavior:

Can't install any Cypress version.

I do not use a proxy, I can also download the required version via the browser and console.

---

STR:
When I make:

npm install cypress --save-dev

I get:

URL: https://download.cypress.io/desktop/3.7.0?platform=win32&arch=x64
Error: read ECONNRESET

Desired behavior:

The installation of the module should be successful.

Does your workplace require a proxy to be used to access the Internet? Or are you behind a firewall that may prohibit your network? Please follow the guidelines in Proxy Configuration if so.

Also I see an EPERM: operation not permitted error in here. Make sure you have the proper permissions where you are installing Cypress.

[tyomasson]

My workplace doesn't require proxy and I can download cypress.zip via console.
I'm turned off firewall now and I have no result.

I know about warning EPERM it's not related to cypress, this is regular behaviour for rudiment dependencies.

[maacaro]

I got the same error on the azure pipeline but with yarn and I was able to workaround.

workaround

I remove from my package.json @testing-library/cypress.
I refactored my tests.
I delete the node_modules folder rm -rf node_modules
I run yarn install
and It works!!!

[kylemh]

Getting the same thing for Zeit's Now, Netlify, and CircleCI: OperationCode/front-end#1076

Can install locally no problem.

Weird. It seemed to resolve itself today.

[kylemh]

Getting this again today for 4.6.0. It seems like binaries get corrupted on some sort of random, self-resolving basis.

[denahardian]

same issue, i can't downloading via npm or yarn stuck on 6% and im tried download for spesific version still same hmm, then im trying download another depedency working fine. and my network is good hmm.

[AskMarvinV]

[hmmaros]

Im getting the same error for 4.7.0 version even though the proxy is configured.

[jakedowns]

I have the same "corruption" issue where the checksum fails, but the filesize matches. #7761

For no reason at all, after trying to go back to 3.8.3, and then re-downloading 4.8.0, it worked. amazing. Lost about 8+ hours to this.

[Lavaei]

I get this error always when 99% of packaged download successfully!
The only thing I've changed recently is npm.

[jennifer-shehane]

If you're using yarn workspaces and getting some corrupt downloads, it may be this issue #6789.

The original issue opened did not involve a corrupted download however, but it seems like most of the comments are referencing corrupted download issues.

[kylemh]

I always come back to this issue and find that it's always the fact there are two instances in the lockfile. I fix it by forcing the correct version via the "resolutions" field in package.json.

[moezzie]

Thanks @kylemh
This fixed the issue for me.
In my case i had @vue/cli-plugin-e2e-cypress (which has Cypress as a dependency) and a separate entry for Cypress in my package.json.

I would have guessed that npm/yarn would figure a out a good way to satisfy the requirements with just one version of Cypress, but i could see, like you said, there were two entries for different versions in the lockfile.

[tsaiDavid]

I always come back to this issue and find that it's always the fact there are two instances in the lockfile. I fix it by matching the resolutions field.

Thanks @kylemh - that worked for me as well. We were having issues with our build on CircleCi

cc @dmi3y

[kylemh]

If you see where the conflicting dependency is coming from, I urge y'all to go to those packages and open an issue asking that Cypress be listed as a peerDependency (or devDependency if they've simply made a mistake).

[kylemh]

@jennifer-shehane based on emoji reacts and my own personal experience, I feel like this issue can be closed if there were a better error during installation. Something to indicate that the dev likely has multiple instances listed in their lockfile.

[chuksgpfr]

This can be solved using yarn upgrade cypress

This issue should be closed.

PS: I'm on a Mac OS

[jennifer-shehane]

Closing as duplicate of #4595

I'm also getting the same issue

Hi, try the below.

Solution

[bipin-codes]

It might be too late, but if you are on windows.
Use git bash instead of windows cmd prompt

Download the specific binary using
https://download.cypress.io/desktop/12.17.4

export CYPRESS_INSTALL_BINARY=path_to_downloaded_cypress_zip
npm install cypress@specific_version

Should solve the issue, Thanks!

[eysaif]

tried Both same error

[bipin-codes]

Can you add bit more description and screen shots, of what exaclty you tried?
