CI: Can't run because no spec files were found.

I am able to run the tests using the glob pattern on my machine and cypress/included images., but cypress is not able to find the specs using the same glob pattern on gitlab-ci. I have tried single spec files as well but getting the same error every single time

Current behavior:

Gilab-ci Output logs:

Closing as resolved, since this is OS-specific file system nuance

Thanks for sharing the solution. I’ve been bitten sooo many times by Mac’s canse insensitive filesystem 🙃
