When I try to run sorry-cypress command which is for running test cases parallel

CYPRESS_API_URL="http://localhost:1234/" cy2 run --parallel --record --key somekey --ci-build-id hello-cypress

It throws error even though cypress is installed. Here is the sorry-cypress setup link

sorry-cypress npm module basic link : https://docs.sorry-cypress.dev/guide/get-started

Error: Cannot detect cypress. Is cypress installed?
   at getStateModulePath (/home/ashish/.nvm/versions/node/v14.17.5/lib/node_modules/cy2/lib/patch.js:90:11)

CodePudding user response：

Here issue was the location of cy2 module.

Running this command will help to solve this issue.

CYPRESS_API_URL="http://localhost:1234/" ./node_modules/cy2/bin/cy2 run --parallel --record --key somekey --ci-build-id hello-cypress

What I changed here is cy2 with ./node_modules/cy2/bin/cy2

Because cy2 directly not accessible.

Installing cy2 module through npm will install cy2 in node_module.

Yarn add will work for directly accessing cy2 module.
