Jenkins Error "Error: spawn cmd ENOENT"

Hi, I’m running Cypress on Jenkins in Windows and am experiencing strange behavior. When I first setup Cypress to run in a build, it ran fine, but every time after that, it fails with Error: spawn cmd NOENT

Also, I changed the user that Jenkins runs as and Cypress ran only the first time the build ran, but after the first run, I get the same errors.

Current behavior:

Opening Cypress…

[?25hBuild step 'Execute Windows batch command' marked build as failure
Finished: FAILURE

Desired behavior:

I would like Cypress to run my tests inside of headless mode.

Steps to reproduce: (app code and test code)

I don’t have a public repo to recreate this. If need, I could let somebody take a look at my build server. I’m just executing ./node_modules/.bin/cypress run from a windows batch command inside of Jenkins.

Versions

Windows Server 2016 Cypress 3.2.0 Jenkins latest

Not sure if it’s relevant but I’m having the same error when trying to integrate Cypress with Percy on macos:

here’s the script: “cypress:headless”: “./node_modules/.bin/cypress run” I changed it to: “cypress:headless”: “cypress run”

It gets me to the same spot (error)
