Encountering browserSocket error using Custom Chromium 66

[sgreen233]

Description

When I test chrome66 using cypress, I expect it to work, but it gets stuck. I used the DEBUG command to check and found an error:https-proxy received error on client browserSocket { err: Error: read ECONNRESET at TCP.onStreamRead (node:internal/stream_base_commons:217:20) { errno: -54, code: 'ECONNRESET', syscall: 'read' }, url: 'example.cypress.io:443' }

URL of Issue(s)

https://docs.cypress.io/guides/guides/launching-browsers#Chrome-Browsers

Steps to replicate

1. Use chromium version
2. Stuck while running test
3. Use DEBUG to see the error
4. cypress:https-proxy received error on client browserSocket { err: Error: read ECONNRESET at TCP.onStreamRead (node:internal/stream_base_commons:217:20) { errno: -54, code: 'ECONNRESET', syscall: 'read' }, url: 'example.cypress.io:443' }

This issue list is about errors in the documentation.

If you think that there is a bug in the Cypress software then you can open an issue on https://github.com/cypress-io/cypress/issues and supply the requested information.

Please make sure that you are using a supported operating system and a supported version of Node.js (18.x / 20.x / 22.x) according to https://docs.cypress.io/guides/getting-started/installing-cypress#System-requirements

According to https://docs.cypress.io/guides/guides/launching-browsers#Browser-versions-supported

Cypress supports the browser versions below:

Chrome 64 and above. Chrome 80 and above is required for cypress open usage.

I'm using the 18.x version of the node.js and make sure the operating system supports the use of the browser. When using cypress, I used the command of cypress run, but the problem still appears

It seems like that there was a problem in launching Chrome with cypress.I wonder if chromium 66 is supported with the cypress run command

Officially it is supported.

I tried a few versions of Chromium < 80 on Ubuntu 20.04 with Cypress 13.14.2 and Node.js v18.20.4 with npx cypress run. They gave different errors or timed out, so I could not demonstrate that the versions which are supposed to be supported do actually work.

It's up to you if you want to report your problem on https://github.com/cypress-io/cypress/issues , however given that this browser is 6 years old I don't expect anything except the documentation to be fixed.

It's already suggested to drop support for Chrome < 80 in the next major release of Cypress.

Please add your configuration information.

Cypress version: ?
Operating system type and version: ?
Node.js version: ?

I tried on a virtual Ubuntu system and I could get Chromium 66 to run with
Cypress 11.2.0 and Node.js v14.21.3, but only in headed mode. In headless mode it hung.

On Cypress 12.17.4 / Node.js v14.21.3 I got the error

'Fetch.enable' wasn't found

On Cypress 13.14.2 / Node.js v16.20.2 I got the error

'Runtime.addBinding' wasn't found

I installed using

npx @puppeteer/browsers install chromium@540276

[sgreen233]

Cypress version: 10.8.0
Operating system type and version: ubuntu 18.04
Node.js version: 13
You are right, it can only be run in headed mode, and the problem was solved after I used this mode.

• If your problem is solved, then I suggest to close this issue and follow instead Error Runtime.addBinding with Chromium 66 #30205 as it does seem that there is a documentation issue. In general the documentation only covers the current latest version Cypress 13.x so it needs to be correct for this version and not so much for Cypress 10.x.
• Node.js 13 is no longer supported, but I don't think it has an influence on this issue.
