does not find cypress.config.js when using Cypress v10

[alxndr]

When upgrading to Cypress v10 I saw this error message in CI:

You are attempting to use Cypress with an older config file: cypress.json When you upgraded to Cypress v10.0 the config file was updated and moved to a new location: cypress.config.js You may need to update any CLI scripts to ensure that they are referring the new version. This would typically look something like: "cypress open --config-file=cypress.config.js" https://on.cypress.io/migration-guide

After I added config-file: cypress.config.js the integration works.

Adding in the config-file setting for me still doesn't work:

   uses: cypress-io/github-action@v2
   with:
          config-file: cypress.config.ts
          record: true
          parallel: true
          group: 'UI - Chrome'
          install-command: yarn --immutable
          browser: chrome
          headless: true

@ChillyBots update cypress-io/github-action@v2 to v4.1.0

[alxndr]

@developer-ocansey: update cypress-io/github-action@v2 to v4.1.0

This worked for me too, and the new summary looks great! https://github.com/alxndr/almost-dead-net/actions/runs/2496531182

What's the recommended way to be notified of new versions of the action?

[developer-ocansey]

@alxndr, maybe watching for new releases via https://github.com/cypress-io/github-action/releases might be helpful.

@developer-ocansey thanks it works for me after change from v2 to v4.1.0

[lgenzelis]

@ChillyBots update cypress-io/github-action@v2 to v4.1.0

Worked for me! Thanks @developer-ocansey :)

[SirawichDev]

Not sure how your cypress tests are set up for GitHub actions but Ideally from your project root .github > workflows > [cypress_test].yaml

You should have this line in jobs > steps

uses: cypress-io/github-action@v[4]

Here is an example of what the file looks like: https://github.com/cypress-io/github-action#basic

I had the same issue but adding this line config-file: cypress.config.ts fixed the issue and this is the code block:

- name: Run Cypress tests
        uses: cypress-io/github-action@v2
        with:
          config-file: cypress.config.ts
          working-directory: truck_mate_front
          build: npm run build
          start: npm start
          wait-on: 'http://localhost:3000'

@medmoe

You are using an old version of the action which is not compatible with Cypress 10 and later versions:

- name: Run Cypress tests
        uses: cypress-io/github-action@v2

Your workaround is unnecessary if you use the current version of the action:

- name: Run Cypress tests
        uses: cypress-io/github-action@v5

v2 will be blocked from executing by GitHub at the end of May 2023. See the CHANGELOG. You should update the version of the action which you are using.

Hi @alxndr

I looked at your https://github.com/alxndr/almost-dead-net/blob/main/.github/workflows/main.yml and you are using cypress-io/[email protected]

so although the issue here is solved, your workflow will soon fail. There is a note in the CHANGELOG which says:

Note: GitHub announced their plan to disable save-state and set-output commands by May 31, 2023. This will prevent cypress-io/github-action version v4.2.1, and earlier, running after this date since they use set-output. Affected users should update to using v5 of the cypress-io/github-action action before the deadline.

Unless you have a reason to tie your workflow to a specific minor version and patch version, then I would recommend using simply cypress-io/github-action@v5. See README > Action version.

I suggest anyway to close this issue as the original problem is resolved.
