Cypress: npm install -g cypress throw error

[Nightbr]

Hey folks,

Current behavior:

npm install -g cypress

npm ERR! code ENOENT
npm ERR! syscall spawn git
npm ERR! path git
npm ERR! errno ENOENT
npm ERR! enoent Error while executing:
npm ERR! enoent undefined ls-remote -h -t ssh://[email protected]/cypress-io/request.git
npm ERR! enoent 
npm ERR! enoent 
npm ERR! enoent spawn git ENOENT
npm ERR! enoent This is related to npm not being able to find a file.
npm ERR! enoent 
npm ERR! A complete log of this run can be found in:
npm ERR!     /root/.npm/_logs/2020-03-17T09_42_31_708Z-debug.log

Same problem with nxp cypress ...

Seems he doesn't resolve ssh://[email protected]/cypress-io/request.git.

Desired behavior:

npm install -g cypress install successfully

Test code to reproduce

run npm install -g cypress

Versions

cypress@latest

Thanks in advance for your help & don't hesitate if you need more info/tests!

Continue the good work!

Cheers

Ok seems a docker problem. Latest image of node:12-slim doesn't include git anymore (and wget, ...).

RUN apt-get update && apt-get install -y gnupg2 ca-certificates wget git

&

RUN npm install -g --unsafe-perm cypress

Seems to fix this :ok_hand:

Sorry fo the noise, but if this can help other!

Hi @Nightbr,
Are you installing thru the docker image?

[Nightbr]

Yes, it was on a gitlab-ci.yml to build a docker image.

thanks @Nightbr , this _workaround_ did the trick for my Dockerfile. However, wish we didn't need to run those installs...my build is _that_ much slower now. 😬

But, git commands based on SSH require authentication, isn't it?

So ssh://[email protected]/cypress-io/request.git will always refuse to clone if your are not a member of the project.
It should be based on an https url.
