The instructions on https://www.cypress.io/blog/run-cypress-with-a-single-docker-command are slightly different.

Perhaps an independent macOS user could check that the new instructions on https://github.com/BountyHunter1999/cypress-docker-images/blob/patch-1/CONTRIBUTING.md#to-forward-x11-from-inside-a-docker-container-to-a-host-running-macos are correct?

It doesn't look like your instructions set the environment variable IP before you use it. Would you like to double-check? Perhaps I have misunderstood?

@BountyHunter1999 It doesn't look like your instructions set the environment variable IP before you use it. Would you like to double-check? Perhaps I have misunderstood?

xhost +$(ipconfig getifaddr en0)

I just ensured that the value is interpolated in the setting rather than creating a variable outside. You can check that the command is similar.

What about the instruction?

Set up a DISPLAY env var `export DISPLAY="$IP:0"

Where is $IP set?

• Yes, it seems that was missing. I tried not to create the IP variable, it was either that or enter this $(ipconfig getifaddr en0) in multiple places.
  I have added explicit IP assignment now

You have requested my review.

It is a documentation change only and as far as I can see from the text it looks fine.

I would however difficulty approving it, as it contains instructions for a macOS user and I don't have that environment to test on. I don't have any outstanding requests for change however. All my requests for change have been dealt with.

@MikeMcC399 We'll assign someone to review in our next sprint

@mschile

Are you going to be able to review this soon? It would be nice to get it processed!

[mschile]

I just tried the updated directions on my M1 Mac and it didn't seem to work (though the original directions and blog didn't work either).

@AtofStryker, I believe you've gotten this to work lately, is there anything missing in the directions?

Edit: the original directions do work for me

[mschile]

@BountyHunter1999, on my M1 Mac with macOS 15.3.1, the original instructions work for me but the new ones on this PR don't seem to work. Which chip and macOS version are you using?

XQuartz 2.8.5 (xorg-server 21.1.6)
Docker version 24.0.4, build 3713ee1eea

[BountyHunter1999]

M1 and M2, fresh install on both cases.

What's the issue you are facing with the 2nd one?

@BountyHunter1999:

~ export DISPLAY="$IP:0"
~ docker run --rm -it -e DISPLAY=$DISPLAY -v /tmp/.X11-unix:/tmp/.X11-unix --entrypoint bash cypress/included:14.1.0
root@151234db542579:/# cypress open

Cypress failed to start.

This may be due to a missing library or dependency. https://on.cypress.io/required-dependencies

Can I see what's the DISPLAY?

Is xquartz properly set up for u?

[mschile]

The DISPLAY is set to $IP:0 and evaluates correctly. Yes, my xquartz is properly setup as I am able to successfully use it using the original instructions just not with the proposed updates. I wonder why the original instructions don't work for you. What version of XQuartz and Docker are you using? I'm on,

macOS 15.3.1
XQuartz 2.8.5 (xorg-server 21.1.6)
Docker version 24.0.4, build 3713ee1eea
