Cypress: npm install --only=development crashes due to is-promise in dependency listr

Created on 1 May 2020 · 4Comments · Source: cypress-io/cypress

Current behavior:

When I try to execute npm install --only=development command (for multi-stage build) installation crashes due to lack of runtime dependency minimist in cypress's postinstall stage.

It doesn't happen when it is installed alone, but I found some combinations of libraries that bring this bug to life. In this case it crashes with @nestjs/common.

}

Desired behavior:

Installing cypress with npm install --only=development should not crash install build.

Test code to reproduce

Dockerfile

FROM node:12.13-stretch AS development

WORKDIR /usr/src/app

COPY package.json ./
RUN npm install --only=development

package.json

{
  "dependencies": {
    "@nestjs/common": "^6.8.3"
  },
  "devDependencies": {
    "cypress": "^4.1.0",
    "@nrwl/cypress": "9.2.3"
  }
}

Versions

Cypress: 4.5.0

I'm not able to reproduce this. Try cleaning your node_modules or running npm prune.

Ok, yah I actually am able to reproduce this. I feel like this didn't reproduce last time I ran it.

Love how unhelpful this thread is :/ https://github.com/nodejs/help/issues/1846

Add the below to package.json and run npm install --only=development

{
  "dependencies": {
    "@nestjs/common": "^6.8.3"
  },
  "devDependencies": {
    "cypress": "4.10.0"
  }
}

npm install --only=development
