Missing libgbm-dev dependency -> Error: Failed to launch the browser process

[przemuh]

Hi,

I have a problem with running cypress >= 4.2.0 on Gitlab CI. With version 4.1.0 everything is ok.

I use cypress/base:12.16.1 image.
cypress: 4.2.0 - 4.5.0

The error I get:

Error: Failed to launch the browser process!
 /builds/my-secret-app-folder/node_modules/puppeteer/.local-chromium/linux-737027/chrome-linux/chrome: error while loading shared libraries: libgbm.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

     at Interface.<anonymous> (/builds/my-secret-app-folder/node_modules/puppeteer/lib/Launcher.js:537:65)
 error Command failed with exit code 1.

The temporary solution (I've added the missing dependency by myself in gitlab-ci.yaml

  script:
    - apt-get update
    - apt-get install -y --no-install-recommends libgbm-dev
    - ...rest of my scripts

But I guess it would be nice to have it in the base image :)

I could add it as a new PR but I didn't know if I should edit all Docker files 🤔 or just 12.16.1 (which I use). What is the process of adding a new dependency to cypress-docker-images? :)

Ha, I just the same problem running Percy tests in cypress-io/cypress-react-unit-test#216

Yeap :) I forgot to mention that I also use Percy ;)
