firefox failing on circleCI

See original GitHub issue

I don’t know if this is an issue with cypress or something missing on circleCI. I think this line of code installs chrome and firefox.

https://github.com/wikimedia/wikipedia-kaios/blob/try-firefox-browser/.circleci/config.yml#L5

https://hub.docker.com/r/circleci/node

Current behavior:

When I try to run cypress run --browser=firefox on circleCII get this error

Desired behavior:

tests should run the same as on local / with electron

Test code to reproduce

Versions

4.5.0 https://github.com/wikimedia/wikipedia-kaios/blob/try-firefox-browser/package.json#L45

Oh my god, @jennifer-shehane i’m sorry. we run the app in a different way in our local environment 🤦 . I now changed the way to run the app in the CI and the tests are running as expected.

Sorry for wasting your time.

I can recreate this when running Cypress within Firefox in cypress open, so this has nothing to do with headless or CircleCI specifically. You should always try to run the tests locally with the installed browser since it will be easier to debug the issue than in a CI container.

Also, you should always run the situation outside of Cypress. I can see this error outside of Cypress, when running your application in Firefox also. So, this is a bug in your app - your app doens’t work in Firefox and Cypress has caught this bug for you.
