Description

The following error prevents merging changes in at least MobileFrontend and DiscussionTools, maybe other repositories:

> selenium-test
> cypress run

The cypress npm package is installed, but the Cypress binary is missing.

We expected the binary to be installed here: /cache/Cypress/13.6.1/Cypress/Cypress

Reasons it may be missing:

- You're caching 'node_modules' but are not caching this path: /cache/Cypress
- You ran 'npm install' at an earlier build step but did not persist: /cache/Cypress

Properly caching the binary will fix this error and avoid downloading and unzipping Cypress.

Alternatively, you can run 'cypress install' to download the binary again.

I think this test is defined in Cite extension if I'm reading the CI log correctly?

Also affects ContentTranslation, https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/c/mediawiki/extensions/ContentTranslation/+/1015683

Also affects Wikibase (example change), as well as Cite itself (example change).

In EntitySchema, where we also use Cypress, it seems to be working still (example change and console); Cypress seemingly autoinstalls itself:

> selenium-test
> CYPRESS_CACHE_FOLDER=./cypress/.cache cypress run

It looks like this is your first time using Cypress: 13.6.6

[STARTED] Task without title.
[SUCCESS] Task without title.

Opening Cypress...

I don’t know why it’s not working for Cite, but it could be because Cite doesn’t customize the CYPRESS_CACHE_FOLDER?

The path /cache/Cypress looks suspicious anyways. I’m guessing that it’s partially the result of the test user having their home directory set to /, but according to the cypress docs, the default should be ~/.cache/Cypress, i.e. with a dot before the word “cache”…

Looking good so far…

Quibble sets XDG_CACHE_HOME=/cache. I guess that directory then gets cleared between running npm and running the tests?

Could be, yeah. (Bit annoying that the Cypress docs doesn’t mention that they respect $XDG_CACHE_HOME, but that seems like a plausible source for the path at least.)

I think we can close this task, as the CI blocker is resolved; I don’t know if we should have a follow-up task for not clearing the cache or not.

Thank you @Lucas_Werkmeister_WMDE! I filed a follow-up: T361624: Running `cypress` in Wikimedia CI requires unusual env variables
