Running cypress in headless mode should not use xvfb
See original GitHub issueCurrent behavior
Currently, when I use cypress in headless mode via cypress run, xvfb is still invoked. Consequently, sometimes this can make my cypress tests error out due to an error.
For example:
Cypress: Fatal IO error 11 (Resource temporarily unavailable) on X server :105.
Desired behavior
When running in headless mode, there is no need to spawn xvfb at all. This should only be done when using cypress run to run a browser in headed mode.
Versions
All versions of cypress up to 7.3.0
