Cypress: Cypress not running after installing on windows 32bit

[fr-ser]

Bug:

After the installation through npm I tried to open cypress. It fails with the following error message:

Stack trace:

Hmm, we must print the exact command we are using when verifying successful install. Maybe binary was not installed or unzipped correctly due to proxy restrictions.

[MarcLoupias]

When a proxy deny your download request it is very clear :

I also just did a reinstall of Cypress and do not get any error message during the installation (I still get the abovementioned error however)

I do believe that the issue I have in the original post is different than the ones you mention here.
I get no error message downloading, but only on the first run.

[NAPOLEON039]

I get this same error when I try to run cypress :(

[kutlaykural]

Hi all,
My system is windows 7 x86
I downloaded cypress last update from;
https://download.cypress.io/desktop?platform=win32&arch=x86
but it says "this program is incompetible with your Windows. Please check program requirements whether x86 or x64"
what can I do?

[aleksey-pro]

Same errors. Has anybody solved this?..

I'm having the same issue as mentioned in title

@itaditya we've never seen this before. Perhaps it is a permissions issue. It looks like you're trying to run Cypress across a network drive - since I see it's installed to C:/ but your node modules is in F:/

Can you run Cypress in debug mode so we get all of the logs output?

set DEBUG=cypress:cli
npm install

You can also try...

set DEBUG=cypress:cli 
npx cypress verify

On Win 10 32bit I get the above log. cypress itself opens and returns options screen, but returns the above output when cypress open executed.

Will be grateful for feedback. Thanks!

[jennifer-shehane]

Where are you running the cypress open/cypress run command from? Is it in a plain terminal (cmd) window or from a terminal within your IDE program? I've read that running from the IDE terminal may cause this issue.

[Saibamen]

1. Does installing latest npm and node helps you?
2. Your npm and node is in global variables? (type npm --version and node --version to test it)
3. Please try install Cypress with admin - right click on cmd.exe and click "Run as Administrator"
4. Can you download Cypress directly from your browser: http://download.cypress.io/desktop or https://download.cypress.io/desktop/3.1.5?platform=win32&arch=x64

[Saibamen]

@AlxndrMlk Please try open it by adding

"scripts": {
    "cypress": "cypress"
  },

into your package.json file and run it by executing npm run cypress open

[PiyushTalwalkar]

Can I get some help on above issue

[fr-ser]

Just a quick heads up. I don't even use Windows anymore and cannot give any input here. Maybe the other posters have the same issue and can help....

[brian-mann]

@flotwig or @jennifer-shehane is https://github.com/cypress-io/cypress/pull/3531 fixing the issue here? It says it's addressing the comments... should we lock this issue then?

[jennifer-shehane]

@brian-mann Many of the earlier comments were experiencing a proxy issue that will be resolved by this PR https://github.com/cypress-io/cypress/pull/3531 and the release of 3.3.0 - specifically these comments:

• https://github.com/cypress-io/cypress/issues/787#issuecomment-339024837
• https://github.com/cypress-io/cypress/issues/787#issuecomment-363499210

Although the original issue is the error below specifically, and this should be left open for this.

 x  Verifying Cypress can run C:\Users\dev_adi\AppData\Local\Cypress\Cache\3.0.1\Cypress
   → spawn UNKNOWN

Although, I think this other PR may give more insight into why the spawn UNKNOWN error is occuring since it specifically adds more login to cypress verify https://github.com/cypress-io/cypress/pull/3807

[flotwig]

We have fixed this by also building for Windows 32-bit.

The code for this is done in cypress-io/cypress#3877, but has yet to be released.
We'll update this issue and reference the changelog when it's released.

[cypress-bot[bot]]

Released in 3.3.0.
