Unable to run on Chrome: Chrome was not found on your system

[MichaelRobsonSliide]

I'm trying to run my Cypress tests locally using a docker image with this command:

docker run -it -v $PWD:/e2e -w /e2e cypress/included:10.3.1 --browser chrome

and I also tried

docker run -it -v $PWD:/e2e -w /e2e --entrypoint=cypress cypress/included:10.3.1 run --browser chrome

but it always fails saying Chrome was not found on my system, it then lists the supported browsers and says the only one it can find is Electron.

[406:0726/082851.866764:ERROR:sandbox_linux.cc(377)] InitializeSandbox() called with multiple threads in process gpu-process.
[406:0726/082851.869468:ERROR:gpu_memory_buffer_support_x11.cc(44)] dri3 extension not supported.
Can't run because you've entered an invalid browser name.

Browser: chrome was not found on your system or is not supported by Cypress.

Cypress supports the following browsers:

• electron
• chrome
• chromium
• chrome:canary
• edge
• firefox

You can also use a custom browser: https://on.cypress.io/customize-browsers

Available browsers found on your system are:

• electron

If I don't use Docker and just open the Cypress runner I can run my tests on Chrome, Firefox, Electron and Chromium without any issues.

If I'm reading it correctly should this 10.3.1 image come with FF Chrome and Edge? https://github.com/cypress-io/cypress-docker-images/tree/master/included

I tried some of the other version 10 images but keep getting the same issue.

I'm running on a MacBook iOS Monterey 12.4, I'm not doing anything different in my framework when it comes to the browser.

The version of Chrome I have installed on my laptop is
Version 103.0.5060.134 (Official Build) (arm64)

Same for me

$ docker run -it --entrypoint=cypress cypress/included:10.3.1 info

RUN node -p "process.arch === 'arm64' ? 'Not downloading Chrome since we are on arm64: https://crbug.com/677140' : process.exit(1)" || 

[flotwig]

Chrome is unfortunately not available on linux-arm64 yet: https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=677140 It's just not built. You can try to use an unofficial build of Chromium, or just use --browser electron.

Closing as dupe of #695

[giampaolo44]

I'm sorry if this looks silly, but is this issue/solution (as far as this can be considered a solution) applicable only to arm64? I ask because I am running into the same error message on my Intel machine, having built a cypress/included:9.2.0 image with docker compose.

@krema This got me on the right track, thank you

I got the same message with a docker build on a mac M1, 'Detected no known browsers installed'. However, building on a Linux distro gave an image with browsers installed

Please tell me how you finally launched the image on M1, what commands did you use?

[Kendru98]

Same for me, on Windows it works, but on Mac M1 nope. Is there a solution for this?

[todpale]

Looks like there's no solution for M1. And nobody is really interested in it on the vendors side. The only way to start it is to use Rosetta which sounds meeeh.

UPD.:
At the same time, I can confirm that this solution works.

M1 didn't work for me, but building on Linux worked fine. I used our server for this, but a VM will probably work.

[Yuri-Lima]

Yes, you all are right. I have just created a new VPS running Ubuntu and all Browsers were detected pretty much ok!!!!
I dont mind to use like that, but would be good to have support on Mac M1.... versions. Thank you!!
