Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display: when cypress is first run from CLI

See original GitHub issue

Current behavior:

After directly downloading from the website and running Cypress verify or Cypress version, this message is displayed: Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display:

Desired behavior:

It seems like cypress is trying to open a GUI, but this should not be necessary. We want to be able to run it via CLI.

Steps to reproduce: (app code and test code)

Direct download from cypress.io
Running Cypress verify

Versions

Cypress : via direct download(should be the latest version) OS: Debian GNU/Linux 9

For me works: -> change display to 0:0: export DISPLAY=0:0 -> then: xhost + -> set up a display to proper one: export DISPLAY=$IP:0 -> and launch docker container :)|
