Issue has been routed to backlog. This is not a commitment to have it prioritized by the team.
This is a suggestion to add a note in README: Common problems to describe the issue about accessing the Firefox browser in a Docker image.
"In order to run Firefox, you need to use non-root user (Firefox security restriction)."
"Note: the magical user id
1001
works because it matches permissions settings on the home folder, see issue #104"In the meantime the Firefox example in https://github.com/cypress-io/github-action/blob/master/.github/workflows/example-firefox.yml does not use a Docker container anymore. Firefox was added to the GitHub runner images in March 2020, so it is no longer necessary to resort to using Firefox in a container as far as GitHub is concerned. Using Firefox from a container made the test set up and conditions for the GitHub Action unnecessarily complex.
So now there is no Cypress README document which mentions about using the magical user id
1001
to access Firefox in a container. For completeness, it should probably be described in this repository.The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:
