Here is how I resolved my Error: Corrupted download issue on CircleCI:

Following some suggestions here, I checked to see what versions of cypress I was dependent on using yarn why cypress. This showed that I indeed had 2 different versions. I then added the following to my package.json to pick the version I wanted

  "resolutions": {
    "cypress": "3.8.0"
  }

When I re-ran yarn why cypress I saw only 1 version. The build then passed.

Hope this helps others who come across this issue!

@lots0logs, perhaps this is a bug in the Cypress code, however, I think the cause of the issue stems a bit from the use of yarn for package management. I think I’ve resolved the issue and here’s what I did:

1. Checked the yarn.lock file in my project and observed that I had several entries for cypress and they pointed to different versions.
2. Updated various dependencies so that any dependency that had cypress as a subdependency ended up resolving to the same version of cypress (in my case 3.4.1).

Outcome

I now have a single entry for cypress in my yarn.lock file which resolves to the version of cypress that I’ve specified in my package.json file (3.4.1 for me). Here’s what this looks like. I hope this helps:
