[7.0.0] Doesn't display list of specs in Cypress Component Test Runner

[taninnazar]

Hello Cypress team,

I have a problem with displaying spec files in new Cypress Component Test Runner even if I use this example of component testing - https://github.com/lmiller1990/cypress-react-template
Also there is an error in terminal after yarn cypress open-ct started

Current behavior

Desired behavior

Should display spec files in new Cypress Component Test Runner and should not be an error in terminal

Test code to reproduce

https://github.com/lmiller1990/cypress-react-template

Versions

Cypress version - 7.0.0,
Browser Chrome Version - 89.0.4389.114
Operating System - windows10
Node version - v15.13.0

Windows related issue because on Mac it's working as expected

[agg23]

Looks like it's an issue with lazy-compile-webpack-plugin setting up Webpack paths on Windows liximomo/lazy-compile-webpack-plugin#12. We're currently investigating a fix.

[elevatebart]

I investigated the problem a little here on windows.

I feel the problem might very well be on these lines.

https://github.com/liximomo/lazy-compile-webpack-plugin/blob/addca4335403ac41e66649a29974da5669988ff6/lib/loaders/module-loader.js#L46-L51

and these lines

I will suggest the author of the plugin to replace this with a JSON.strigify() like so

// modified from https://matthewrayfield.com/articles/animating-urls-with-javascript-and-emojis
var api = require(${JSON.stringify(`!!${apiPath}`)}');
var stopAnimation = api.startAnimation();
var compilation = api.compile(${JSON.stringify(ips)}, '${activationUrl}');
${hmr ? hmrCode : refreshCode}

This will be fixed in our next release (next week) in #15889

[cypress-bot]

The code for this is done in cypress-io/cypress#15889, but has yet to be released.
We'll update this issue and reference the changelog when it's released.

Hello @elevatebart , @lmiller1990 , @agg23
Did you guys try to run component tests on Windows OS after you released 7.1.0 ? I'm facing pretty much the same issue as described above. The only thing - in 7.1.0 I can see my spec files in new Cypress Component Test Runner. But tests still are not running!

[lmiller1990]

cc @elevatebart, this was tested on windows. Any ideas what might be causing this?
@taninnazar do you see lazy-compile-webpack-plugin in node_modules/@cypress?

[taninnazar]

I've removed node_modules totally and then install everything again together with cypress 7.1.0
lazy-compile-webpack-plugin is only in dependencies for @cypress/webpack-dev-server

[agg23]

It appears that @cypress/webpack-dev-server did not in fact release with 7.1. This is the package that contains the necessary fix, which is why you're still seeing this issue.

[taninnazar]

Could you, please, fix that?

[agg23]

@cypress/webpack-dev-server@1.1.3 has now been released. This should resolve the issue. We apologize for the delay.

[timfisher]

Can confirm @cypress/webpack-dev-server@1.1.3 fixes this. Cypress run-ct seems to be broken on windows for me though and it times out

[elevatebart]

@timfisher What version of cypress are you using?
Know that every version of CT before 7.1.0 is busted on windows.
I am checking 7.1.0 that should fix it.

[elevatebart]

I checked and 7.1.0 does work on my windows.
Can you install 7.1.0 and try again please ?

Can't wait to have you making tests with it.

[elevatebart]

Oh... it is hanging forever...

[elevatebart]

If you can clear webpack's cache (delete your node_modules directory if necessary), it works on my side.

Sorry for the SPAM.
Hope this helps.

[taninnazar]

Hello @elevatebart , @lmiller1990 , @agg23
That's not funny...
With all the latests changes I can see spec files and can run them in Cypress Component Test Runner (but with issues - at least I see that fonts are not applying in the tests). But if you will try to run tests with npx cypress run-ct command you will see that tests are not running at all(
Could you, please, test your tool more carefully for Windows OS ?

I will create new bugs for that issues

[timfisher]

@elevatebart Hey, using 7.10 gets the same issue as @taninnazar with npx cypress run-ct and the updated @cypress/webpack-dev-server@1.1.3 (deleted node_modules first) seems he is making an issue so will check there :) thanks for making this tool though it's great :) sure it will be working on Windows fine soon! Don't forget @taninnazar it's an Alpha release so bound to be bugs on things like Windows :)

[lmiller1990]

We opened this on windows and it was 👌 on our end, I wonder what's going on here. There is also CI running against windows machines, but evidently something is different here.

Can you try running DEBUG=* yarn cypress run-ct and pasting the entire output here (not screenshot - there should be a LOT of debug logs). That will give lots of information about what Cypress is doing in the background, and why browser isn't about to start up. Seems like this is a different issue - the browser cannot be started remotely.
