Build Error While Integrating Cypress Testing Library on Gitlab CI/CD

[aman2810khan]

I have installed DOM and Cypress testing library modules in my react project :

npm install --save-dev @testing-library/dom
npm install --save-dev @testing-library/cypress

As mentioned in testing library docs , I have added the following import statement in cypress/support/commands.js :
import '@testing-library/cypress/add-commands';

The problem is node_modules is present in my .gitignore file and when the pipeline runs the cypress tests (files with extension .spec.js) on Gitlab ,it throws the following error :
Module not found: Error: Can't resolve '@testing-library/cypress/add-commands'

Is there any alternate way for using the cypress testing library commands?

Hi even I observe the same error when I run my scripts in browserStack. Any alternatives or fix for this please?

Running: movSvc/testCaseCheckTest.spec.js

Oops...we found an error preparing this test file:

cypress\support\index.js

The error was:

Error: Webpack Compilation Error
./cypress/support/commands.js
Module not found: Error: Can't resolve '@testing-library/cypress/add-commands' in 'cypress_test_folder\cypress\support'
resolve '@testing-library/cypress/add-commands' in 'cypress_test_folder\cypress\support'
Parsed request is a module
using description file: cypress_test_folder\package.json (relative path: ./cypress/support)
Field 'browser' doesn't contain a valid alias configuration
Looked for and couldn't find the file at the following paths:
[cypress_test_folder\cypress\support\node_modules]
[cypress_test_folder\cypress\node_modules]
[node_modules]

@aman2810khan did you find a solution? We have the same error on Github actions. Locally it runs fine.

I had an old import in my command.js file removing the import got rid of the error.

@aman2810khan @amruth963 @rmcsharry did you guys figured it out ?
I am facing this issue while integrating with lambdatest, locally it is running fine.
Using cypress@9.6.0

For me, while running on github actions it is running fine.
