yarn create nx-workspace FAILS

Expected Behavior

When I run:

yarn create nx-workspace

expect that it will create a work space successfully.

Current Behavior

When I try to run this create command in either yarn or npm they both fail on the cypress install part.

Failure Information (for bugs)

cypress@3.3.2 postinstall C:\webs\yarn\ngic\node_modules\cypress node index.js --exec install

The environment variable CYPRESS_BINARY_VERSION has been renamed to CYPRESS_INSTALL_BINARY as of version 3.0.0

You should set CYPRESS_INSTALL_BINARY instead.

I abandoned the idea of using this package because of this issue. Sad that I just get a shrug and not our issue response. Oh well, c’est la vie

@haakon-io Sounds like this is an external issue with the firewall.

I found a related Cypress issue that provides some instructions to circumvent the need for downloading the binary via postinstall script. https://github.com/cypress-io/cypress/issues/1401#issuecomment-496102788 (Maybe this helps)

Closing this issue since it doesn’t look like a bug with Nx.
