Use \ instead of / in path for Windows:

.\node_modules\.bin\cypress open

In order to run cypress by this comand npm run cypress:open you need to add "cypress:open": "cypress open" to the scripts field in your package.json file:

{
  "scripts": {
    "cypress:open": "cypress open"
  }
}

  "scripts": {
    "test": "cypress open"
  }
}

and run cypress thro' editor command prompt using below command prompt

npm run test

Cypress Open Error- Solution for first time installer in Windows 10

A restart is required if you are trying to do it for the first time. Execute the command .\node_modules.bin\cypress open

PS C:\Users\Ashwini Sambandan\cypressautomation> node_modules.bin\cypress open It looks like this is your first time using Cypress: 3.8.3

I hope you must find a solution for this. But there is no accepted answer so I to add one that worked for me.

It happens when you run cypress for the very first time.

Search for cypress.json or ctrl + p then type cypress.json.

Paste this in it.

{
  "chromeWebSecurity": false,
  "hosts": {
    "*.localhost": "127.0.0.1"
  }
}

Then try npm run cypress open or npx cypress open

  1. Navigate to your project path

cd /your/project/path

  1. Install Cypress using npm

npm install cypress --save-dev

  1. In package.json file add below line inside scripts

"scripts": {"cypress:open": "cypress open"}

  1. In terminal enter command

npm run cypress:open

Then a cypress window opens with example tests.

It's a bit unclear what you're trying to do in step 4. Do you run the Cypress command from VS code terminal? If so, make sure you're in the correct location. Then run your Cypress start command. It should work.

If you are in the correct location and still doesn't work, you can also try:

npx cypress open works like a charm in my environment and requires npm@5.2.0 or greater. Let me know your progress.
