When I am using Cypress I can only se Electron browser. Although I have both firefox & chrome in my computer by Cypress only detects Electron & says:

**Can't run because you've entered an invalid browser name.

Browser: 'chrome' was not found on your system or is not supported by Cypress.**

Are you using Docker?

Please see our troubleshooting guide on Launching Browsers

Could you run Cypress in debug mode specifically logging cypress:launcher logs and run cypress info and print the entire set of logs here?

I downgraded from 9.5.1 to 9.4.1 to avoid a separate bug, and this just started happening after the downgrade.
Previously I was using 8.6.0 and it was working fine.

Running on Windows 10 via Git Bash.

This log seems odd, that location is actually where Chrome is:

I also tried clearing app data folder and explicitly adding C:\Windows\System32\wbem to my PATH as recommended in other issues, but that hasn't helped. Fresh install of node_modules including cypress didn't help either.

Having the same issue. But for me it happens on docker.
I am using docker image cypress/browsers:node16.14.0-slim-chrome99-ff97 but I have narrowed it down to happening after I have run npm ci --cache .npm --prefer-offline --no-audit

Have the same issue on GitLab CI,
installing cypress and chrome directly in the job (in .yml) file. yarn add --dev chrome cypress@9.7.0

I'm able to reproduce this issue with official docker container:
FROM cypress/browsers:node18.6.0-chrome105-ff104
on MacBook Pro (13-inch, M2, 2022).

Same problem in CI jenkins
cypress version 12.5.1
I tried to switch a version to older one (all to 10.0.0). Didn't help

The issue for me on Windows seems to be a permissions issue when running the wmic datafile command.
E.g.

Command failed with EPERM: wmic datafile where name="C:\path\to\chrome\chrome.exe" get Version /value
spawn EPERM

Even though when I run that command manually in CMD it successfully returns the version.

I have a pretty locked down PC in my work environment, but surely if I'm providing Cypress with the path to chrome it can just use that path.

That's not how permissions work. The user that's using the path should have execution related permissions on that path first. Otherwise, anyone with a path can run anything no matter how much you lock your system down.

@abhi1693 My user has permission to run chrome, and my user is running Cypress.
My user has permission to run wmic directly in CMD, however if I try to run it in any other context (e.g. PowerShell, Git bash) I get permission denied.
My assumption is that the permission error here is with wmic, not with Chrome.
I don't understand why Cypress needs to run wmic if I'm giving it the full path to Chrome.

@abhi1693 Are you perhaps using a machine with a corporate proxy? It's difficult to investigate this issue since it is specific to your machine. If you are part of a team, Is this happening to anyone else? Any additional context would be appreciated so we can investigate further.

Right now there doesn't seem to be enough information to reproduce the problem on our end. Unless we receive a reliable reproduction, we'll eventually have to close this issue until we can reproduce it. This does not mean that your issue is not happening - it just means that we do not have a path to move forward.

Please provide a reproducible example of the issue you're encountering. Here are some tips for providing a Short, Self Contained, Correct, Example and our own Troubleshooting Cypress guide.

@warrensplayer I provided the cause of the issue in my case in a previous comment.

the problem was caused by not having permission to run wmic. So ideally there would be an option to specify the exact path to Chrome and not use wmic at all.
Should I open a new issue for that specifically?

@rooby please feel free to submit that feature request. Based on our current priorities I do not see us prioritizing that work though.
