----------

Platform: linux (Debian - 10.5)
Cypress Version: 6.2.0

Tried but didn’t worked

Adding this did not help:

// cypress/plugins/index.ts
module.exports = (on, config) => {
  on('before:browser:launch', (browser, launchOptions) => {
    launchOptions.args.push('--disable-gpu');
    launchOptions.args.push('--disable-software-rasterizer');
    return launchOptions;
  });

Versions

Docker: cypress/base:12

I had the same issues running a my Dockerfile from jenkins pipeline and I resolved adding this ENV to the Dockerfile:

ENV ELECTRON_EXTRA_LAUNCH_ARGS=--disable-gpu ENV LIBVA_DRIVER_NAME=--disable-software-rasterizer

Hi @jpcampos24, thanks for sharing your discovery. I tried it today and it partly worked for GitHub Actions. After your envs, this error dissapear:

[2514:0923/115646.747817:ERROR:gpu_memory_buffer_support_x11.cc(44)] dri3 extension not supported.

The other one still… so, the env ELECTRON_EXTRA_LAUNCH_ARGS didn’t work, but as I’m using Chrome maybe that was the reason. Thanks!
