Current behavior

Some of our cypress tests failing with SIGSEGV when they are executed via test runner. Via UI mode the work just fine.

I can indeed recreate this issue. This is a bug. This issue seems isolated to Electron.

I would suggest running your tests in another browser by passing --browser=chrome to get around this issue for now.

I can also repro the issue with:

Platform: linux-x64 (Debian - 11.3) Node Version: v16.14.2 Cypress Version: 13.6.1 Chromium: 103

Switching --browser from Chromium 103 to Chrome 103 "fixes" the Test Runner unexpectedly exited via a exit event with signal SIGSEGV issue.

The issue can still be seen in version: v13.13.0

Investigation of this issue is now ongoing for half a year?

Any news on this issue? We are eperiencing the same in our devops yaml pipelines (with agents running on default Ununtu Latest - 2 cores, 8Gb RAM) We do prefer to run on Electron.

Experiencing the same issue. Thanks for the workaround @jennifer-shehane
