Issue

Examples listed in the following documentation sections are based on legacy versions of Cypress:

• Included > Alternate users
• Included > Using plugins

examples/included-as-non-root

examples/included-as-non-root shows how to build a new Docker image on top of cypress/included image and run the tests as non-root user node.

This example is obsolete because the issue it resolved in Cypress 3.8.0 is already resolved as standard in current Cypress Docker images.

examples/included-as-non-root-alternative

examples/included-as-non-root-alternative shows another approach to allow built-in non-root user node to run tests using cypress/included image.

This example is obsolete because the setup it uses to resolve the issue with non-root users is already included as standard in current Cypress Docker images.

examples/included-as-non-root-mapped

examples/included-as-non-root-mapped shows how to build a Docker image on top of cypress/included that runs with a non-root user that matches the id of the user on the host machine. This way, the permissions on any files created during the test run match the user's permissions on the host machine.

The example is based on the legacy Cypress version 5.6.0. When updated to a current Cypress version and tested on Ubuntu, it did not seem to resolve any permissions issues caused by using Docker bind mounts. Cypress users should refer to the operating system and environment specific Docker documentation for configuration options.

examples/included-with-plugins

examples/included-with-plugins shows how to use locally installed Cypress plugins while running cypress/included image.

The example is specific to the @cypress/skip-test plugin, which is obsolete because the functionality is now available in standard Cypress versions.
