Why Cypress service is failing? - docker

Question

Below is my pipeline on which I'm trying to get Cypress job to run tests against
Nginx service (which points to the main app) which is built at the build stage
The below is based on official template from here https://gitlab.com/cypress-io/cypress-example-docker-gitlab/-/blob/master/.gitlab-ci.yml
:
image: docker:stable
services:
- docker:dind
stages:
- build
- test
cache:
key: ${CI_COMMIT_REF_SLUG}
paths:
- .npm
- cache/Cypress
- node_modules
job:
stage: build
script:
- export REACT_APP_USERS_SERVICE_URL=http://127.0.0.1
- apk add --update --no-cache gcc g++ make python2 python2-dev py-pip python3-dev docker-compose npm
- docker-compose up -d --build
e2e:
image: cypress/included:9.1.1
stage: test
script:
- export CYPRESS_VIDEO=false
- export CYPRESS_baseUrl=http://nginx:80
- npm i randomstring
- $(npm bin)/cypress run -t -v $PWD/e2e -w /e2e -e CYPRESS_VIDEO -e CYPRESS_baseUrl --network testdriven_default
- docker-compose down
Error output:
Cypress encountered an error while parsing the argument config
You passed: if [ -x /usr/local/bin/bash ]; then
exec /usr/local/bin/bash
elif [ -x /usr/bin/bash ]; then
exec /usr/bin/bash
elif [ -x /bin/bash ]; then
exec /bin/bash
elif [ -x /usr/local/bin/sh ]; then
exec /usr/local/bin/sh
elif [ -x /usr/bin/sh ]; then
exec /usr/bin/sh
elif [ -x /bin/sh ]; then
exec /bin/sh
elif [ -x /busybox/sh ]; then
exec /busybox/sh
else
echo shell not found
exit 1
fi
The error was: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'split')
What is wrong with this set up ?

I had the same problem. You can specify entrypoint: [""] for the image in .gitlab-ci.yml.
Read more about it here: https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/ci/docker/using_docker_images.html#overriding-the-entrypoint-of-an-image
In your case :
e2e:
image:
name: cypress/included:9.1.1
entrypoint: [""]
