Cypress: Cypress 3.1.1 hangs on Jenkins

[smartmike]

When trying to start Cypress on Jenkins inside a cypress docker container it spins forever when verifying, the debug looks like:

It looks like this is your first time using Cypress: 3.1.1

I've been through all the workarounds in #819 but with no luck. I'm not sure how to debug this further, any help would be appreciated.

I can confirm the same behaviour, i'm using 3.1.0 and the jenkins is on kube. Running the same image locally works fine.

Sorry to bump this, but can anyone point me in a direction to help debug this further?

[stickycode]

So it turns out that I had changed the USER to node that does not seem to work. Leave it as root.

I tried lots of different combinations so if you figure out the right permissions let me know, I don't like running it as root.

You may want to check on this issue concerning root access: https://github.com/cypress-io/cypress/issues/1281

Thanks @jennifer-shehane – setting ["HOME=${pwd()}/cache", "CYPRESS_CACHE_FOLDER=${pwd()}/cache"] as environment variables got it running, albeit without a cache across builds :)
