Error: could not find CRI target (Cypress 4.6.0)

Current behavior:

cypress run fails with the following error on Chrome:

Cypress failed to make a connection to the Chrome DevTools Protocol after retrying for 50 seconds.

This usually indicates there was a problem opening the Chrome browser.

The CDP port requested was 26359.

Full log is also attached.

Note that this doesn’t appear to be 100% consistent. With the below example I am seeing this maybe 25% of the time.

We had previously observed this before, and upgraded to both 3.8.3 as a result of: https://github.com/cypress-io/cypress/issues/6053

Then more recently, upgraded to 4.6.0 as a result of: https://github.com/cypress-io/cypress/issues/6518

Still observing on 4.6.0 as below though

Desired behavior:

Execution should not fail in this manner.

Test code to reproduce

1. Clone https://github.com/stevejefferies/cypress-test-tiny
2. Run cypress:run as defined in package.json e.g. npm run cypress:run

Versions

Cypress: 4.6.0 Browser: Chrome 83 OS: Windows 10

Should have added to my comment above, for those looking for a potential workaround adding the disable-gpu flag on browser launch (plugins/index.js) seems stable for me at least locally: Cypress 4+:

module.exports = (on, config) => {
  on('before:browser:launch', (browser, launchOptions) => {
    if (browser.name === 'chrome' && browser.isHeadless) {
      launchOptions.args.push('--disable-gpu');
      return launchOptions
    }
  });
}

Or before Cypress 4:

module.exports = (on, config) => {
  on('before:browser:launch', (browser, args) => {
    if (browser.name === 'chrome' && browser.isHeadless) {
      args.push(
        '--disable-gpu'
      );
      return args;
    }
  });
}

@nids2307 try below code in Plugins/index.js its working

 module.exports = (on, config) => {
  on('before:browser:launch', (browser, launchOptions) => {
    if (browser.name === 'chrome' && browser.isHeadless) {
      launchOptions.args.push('--disable-gpu');
      return launchOptions
    }
  });
