Cypress not installing using local zip on windows #4506
Comments
as described in https://on.cypress.io/installing-cypress#Run-binary You cannot set it to a zipped file. |

So sorry for misreading. Do you have a |

I have not, I'll try in a bit and report back. But that doesn't take away from the fact that installing using from a local zip is not working. Judging from the documentation and the example provided there this might have something to do with Windows specifically. For now, I can still get by running 3.2.0 which I was able to install via the method described earlier. |
|
It doesn't throw the self-signed certificate error anymore 🎉 It would still be a good idea to make sure the local install works since downloading Cypress is not a great experience in itself. At the moment it's stuck at 39%, but that's a separate issue. |

@Lakitna can I ask you to run so we can see what it does there on Windows? |
|
@bahmutov I've run it and pasted it in a Gist https://gist.github.com/Lakitna/91d6a34586558cceab4d4f8972e10b8a |

Great, @Lakitna I see What happens when you set the zip using the Windows backslashes? Is there escaping going on? I think it better be quoted too |
|
I've tried the following ways of linking to the install binary:
|
|
hmm, interesting, here is the relevant file check debug('checking local file', possibleFile, 'cwd', process.cwd())
return fs.pathExistsAsync(possibleFile)
.then((exists) => {
// if this exists return the path to it
// else false
if (exists && path.extname(possibleFile) === '.zip') {
return possibleFile
}
return false
})For some reason it does not think the local file exists when checking and before that if the filename is quoted, it is concatenated to be very weird |
|
That is so weird I had to see it for myself. > const fs = require('fs-extra');
> fs.pathExists('C:\absolute\path\to\existing\file.txt').then((result) => console.log(result));
false
> fs.pathExists('C:/absolute/path/to/existing/file.txt').then((result) => console.log(result));
trueI guess normalizing the path to |

another thing that really bothers me here is our version of |

I am currently in the process of updating |

@Lakitna you are not escaping the backslashes in the first case, it should be const fs = require('fs-extra');
fs.pathExists('C:\\absolute\\path\\to\\existing\\file.txt')I have tested it on Windows and it is reporting the right thing, see https://github.com/cypress-io/file-check-win BUT: look at the experiments on Windows in https://ci.appveyor.com/project/cypress-io/file-check-win/history
Here YAML file that just calls a program passing |
|
@bahmutov Whoops, forgetting to escape is a rookie mistake in Windows. When is Windows going to use Here, have another wtf: Can you trim edit: For the sake of clarity. The following both work in |
|
yeah, this is what I want to do in #4579 |
|
The code for this is done in cypress-io/cypress#4579, but has yet to be released. |

Released in |
Current behavior:
When running the following command
Where
C:/temp/cypress.zipis a fresh download of 3.3.1.The installation gets aborted because it seems like it tries to use the path as a relative external url.
Note the URL.
I've tried all kinds of ways of providing the url
\\\/file://C:/temp/cypress.ziphttp://C:/temp/cypress.zip(it doesn't make sense, but I got desperate)It fails on the self-signed certificate because of the corporate proxy.
Desired behavior:
Able to install from a local zip as described here https://docs.cypress.io/guides/getting-started/installing-cypress.html#Install-binary
Steps to reproduce: (app code and test code)
