Node 10 limits ES6 features?

[lucksp]

The orb does not work as expected

• what version of the orb are you currently using?
  • cypress-io/cypress@1
• paste the circle.yml file if possible or at least the relevant portion

orbs:
  cypress: cypress-io/cypress@1

executors:
  node:
    docker:
      - image: circleci/node
...
...
...
jobs:
  test:
    executor: node
...
...

• describe what you think should happen

  • flatMap should be a supported ES6 method

• describe what happens This only happens when running the orb within CircleCI/Docker environment. Local development running Cypress has no issues. I think this is related to using @types/node version 10 as listed in package.json

I have encountered this issue today when trying to use the orb with Percy and the @Percy/CLI package. It includes await syntax which breaks the orb.

The orb needs to be upgraded to support modern node versions.

[admah]

@Phonesis what version of the orb are you using? The latest is v2.1.0.

[Phonesis]

@admah using the latest 2.1.0

It still seems to be limited to node 10. So no way to use in conjunction with Percy

[admah]

@Phonesis I think #380 fixes this.

[Phonesis]

Thanks @admah I will test once merged. Will I just need to use a new orb version number?

[Phonesis]

@admah seeing same issue still. Do I need to update the circleCI config to specify a new orb version?

[admah]

It's not released quite yet. I'm working on that now, and will update this issue once it's published. You won't need to specify a new version if you're using the major version marker like cypress-io/cypress@2.

[Phonesis]

Great thanks @admah

[admah]

@Phonesis the latest version (2.2.0) is published and ready to use - https://circleci.com/developer/orbs/orb/cypress-io/cypress

[Phonesis]

@admah thanks for this, unfortunately getting same error with 2.2.0

@Phonesis I'm not sure what else we can do via the orb. I have updated the image that CircleCI uses to 16.14.2 (seen here), updated ts-node to its latest, and @types/node to the latest for 16.

What executor are you using?

[Phonesis]

Thanks @admah this is the config with executor (thought only applied to what Cypress uses as browser):

version: 2.1

orbs:
  sonarcloud: sonarsource/[email protected]
  cypress: cypress-io/[email protected]
executors:
  with-chrome:
    docker:
      - image: 'cypress/browsers:node16.14.2-slim-chrome103-ff102'

Are you not able to reproduce this at your end? From what I can tell, the orb is basically incompatible with Percy as it stands

[Phonesis]

Further update. I managed to get this to work now but had to apply a different approach to what is outlined in your documentation for the orb.

As a command-prefix I had to add the installation of percy/cli and remove it from package.json in the src code

          command-prefix: npm i @percy/cli && npx percy exec --

[admah]

@Phonesis glad you were able to find a workaround. Do you have a link to the doc you reference? I'd be happy to get that updated.

[Phonesis]

@admah it is in all the orb docs (the main readme) example of percy usage when using a command-prefix.

Might be worth adding a section specific to Percy and making it clear the cli needs to be installed after the cypress/install job

[Phonesis]

@admah See this https://github.com/percy/cli/discussions/1048

Any thoughts? We are still getting this issue and cannot use the latest Percy features when using the Cypress orb as a result.

Closing as this appears to be solved via command-prefix
