Request: armv8 support

[vegerot]

We have a GitLab Runner with a config like

image: cypress/base:latest

stages:
  - build
  - test
  # - cypress-e2e
  - develop-push

# to cache both npm modules and Cypress binary we use environment variables
# to point at the folders we can list as paths in "cache" job settings
variables:
  npm_config_cache: "$CI_PROJECT_DIR/.npm"
  CYPRESS_CACHE_FOLDER: "$CI_PROJECT_DIR/cache/Cypress"

# cache using branch name
cache:
  key: "$CI_BUILD_REF_NAME"
  paths:
    - node_modules/
    - dist/
    - .npm
    - cache/Cypress


before_script:
  - set -x
  - npm install

build:
  stage: build
  script:
    - npm run build
  except:
    - tags

When we get to the build stage (or any stage), I get the following error:

Am I doing something wrong with my config, or is Arm not supported?

[bahmutov]

Yeah, we are only building it for Linux amd64

[bahmutov]

Note: Electron does build on Arm, https://www.electronjs.org/docs/tutorial/support#linux but we just never had any requests for it to justify another build for Cypress

[vegerot]

Well here's one! 😆

[bahmutov]

Understood @vegerot - here is the principal issue for building Cypress on Arm cypress-io/cypress#4478

[vegerot]

The main issue is that GitHub CI doesn't support it?

[bahmutov]

We would need to build the test runner on CI That supports it

ARM support would be a godsend.

We are running a project in university and using Raspberry Pis as CI runners. Now I have to switch e2e tools (again) :c
