Error on Concurse while integrating Cypress. Cypress executable not found

Question

I'm trying to integrate cypress with concourse. I was referring to these steps. mentioned here, https://notes.dmitriydubson.com/testing/e2e-testing/cypress-and-concourse/ . However, I'm getting this error. Any help is much appreciated.

    > cypressAutomation@1.0.0 testHeadless /tmp/build/ae3c03f4/cypressgit
> cypress run

No version of Cypress is installed in: /root/.cache/Cypress/7.3.0/Cypress

Please reinstall Cypress by running: cypress install

----------

Cypress executable not found at: /root/.cache/Cypress/7.3.0/Cypress/Cypress

Platform: linux (Debian - 8.11)
Cypress Version: 7.3.0

This is my yaml file.

e2e.sh

    cd cypressgit/

npm run testHeadless

test command in package.json

"scripts": {
    "testHeadless": "node_modules/.bin/cypress run",
    "withHeadTest": "npm run testHeadless -- --headed",
    "chromeTest": "npm run testHeadless -- --browser chrome"

Quick fix: if you want to push the job to completion, amend the e2e.sh file to install cypress in the container along with its dependency:

# new e2e.sh
cd cypressgit/
apt install -y libgbm1
npx cypress install
npm run testHeadless

It will work, however, it will reinstall cypress every time you run the container. So...

Proper fix:

Create a docker container from ddubson/cypress-e2e; install cypress and libgbm1 on it and publish it to docker.
Update the repository in test.yml to your freshly published container handle in dockerhub.
Re-run the test and profit!
