Basically I get a error message saying that my command to open Cypress in visual studio timed out.

CodePudding user response：

Solution 1:

You need to run npx cypress verify, there's a verification that's meant to happen for first-time users.

Solution 2:

To resolve this issue, you need to increase the default timeout. For this, go to below path: node_modules\cypress\lib\tasks\verify.js

Open verify.js, search variable VERIFY_TEST_RUNNER_TIMEOUT_MS. By default, it should be 30000. Change it to 100000.

If neither solution is working, run the command npm cache clean --force to clean cache & rerun the steps again.
