Unable to open the cypress runner

[apurvgoel08]

Hello, I'm new to cypress and currently in learning phase.
Earlier all working fine. I was getting the interest, but suddenly test runner is stop working.
I'm getting below error.
PS C:\Users\Lenovo\CypressAutomation> npx cypress open
(electron) The default value of app.allowRendererProcessReuse is deprecated, it is currently "false". It will change to be "true" in Electron 9. For more information please check electron/electron#18397
(node:16400) DeprecationWarning: Passing functions, DOM objects and other non-cloneable JavaScript objects to IPC methods is deprecated and will throw an exception beginning with Electron 9.

I tried to fix it by updating the package.json

{
"name": "cypressautomation",
"version": "4.2.0",
"description": "",
"main": "index.js",
"scripts": {
"test": "echo "Error: no test specified" && exit 1"
},
"author": "",
"license": "ISC",
"devDependencies": {
"cypress": "^12.17.3",
"cypress-iframe": "^1.0.1",
"electron": "^9.0.0"
}
}

But no luck.
Can you please help me in this. I stuck from last 6 days.

• It doesn't sound like you are following the course in this repository, so your post here is not the best place to get help.

• You are also referring to a very old version of Electron and I'm unsure in any case whether you can test Electron applications, as there is an open request Add support for testing Electron.js applications cypress#4964 to add this to Cypress.

• I would suggest you ask the Cypress technical community on Discord for their help and opinions:
