Unexpected value "with" in the yml file in the GitHub actions pipeline

Question

While running the Cypress tests, getting below error in GitHub action pipeline: The workflow is not valid. .github/workflows/main.yml (Line: 44, Col: 9): Unexpected value 'with'. Could someone please advise how can we add browser : chrome in the yml file at the with: level.

Answer 1

The with option isn't compatible with the run command you gave above it.

But it's ok to use --browser Cypress command line option, same as local cy:run command

Ref: cypress run --browser

cypress run --browser chrome

The pipeline (abbreviated to make it clearer)

jobs:
  install:
    runs-on: ubuntu-22.04
    steps:
      ...

  tests:
    runs-on: ubuntu-22.04
    needs: install
    steps:
      ...
      - name: Run Automation tests
        run: npm run cy:run -- --browser chrome --env grepTags="@Envtest1",ENV="staging"
