browser option : chrome not found
See original GitHub issueI’m trying to run my testcases through cypress though the following command :
$- npx cypress run --browser chrome --headed
and it gives the following output for the same:
$-Warning: We failed to remove old browser profiles from previous runs.
This error will not alter the exit code.
[object Object]
Can't run because you've entered an invalid browser.
Browser: 'chrome' was not found on your system.
Available browsers found are: electron
and also by UI :
$- npx cypress open

its not showing chrome as option. any idea how i can solve this issue ? is there any path info i need to add in my code? as electron is working fine.
windows: 10 cypress : 3.1.2 chrome: 70.0
