Generated project's test:e2e causes Error: kill EPERM.

[MeirionHughes]

I'm not sure where this bug report should go. This seemed like logical place as the generated project's test:e2e just fails. my guess is a change in vite causing start-server-and-test to fail.

Describe the bug

the generated project's e2e test when using cypress and start-server-and-test fails with Error: kill EPERM.

Child process 24584 exited before trying to stop it

repo

• npm create vue@latest
• No for everything - choose cypress.
• npm install
• npm run build
• npm run test:e2e

run the test a few times as it can be a race-condition.

I could not reproduce this error, but I am using node v20.12.1, I will try later with node v22 (maybe that is causing the issue)

[MeirionHughes]

If I go to node v20.15.0 I don't get the error, but I do get:

Child process 16072 exited before trying to stop it
Child process 27140 exited before trying to stop it

but it does complete without error even after a few tries

Hi @MeirionHughes

To be honest, I don't think there is anything we can do in create-vue for this issue: it does look like this is specific to windows/node and cypress or start-server-and-test. I'm going to close this issue, and maybe you can try to reproduce it with a brand new project (using just vite and cypress) and open an issue on the cypress or start-server-and-test repositories.

Okay, kicked it over start-server-and-test bahmutov/start-server-and-test#384
