From which version do you upgrade? And what code is being displayed to be merged?

[rneha17]

I have upgraded from 6.9.1 and it shows message to merge this code
1 eze: {

2 setupNodeEvents(on, config) {

3

// implement node event listeners hete

4 },

Even though I have this already

Could you provide a screenshot of the error and the full contents of your cypress.config.js (removing any sensitive data)

EDIT: You can disregard the info below, this ended up being a config issue on my part. During the migration cypress converted the json config tiles to into ts and I forgot to update the package.json file to set the config properly. As a result the command was still trying to use the non-existent json files. Once this was corrected it started working as expected.

@jennifer-shehane I am receiving this issue as well on version 13.6.x with node 18 LTS.

I tried disabling the require statement just to ensure that wasn't causing an issue, but it had no effect. Also I tried using the empty e2e block from the error message but it still didn't resolve the issue.

import {defineConfig} from 'cypress';

export default defineConfig({
    video: false,
    viewportHeight: 12000,
    viewportWidth: 8000,
    pageLoadTimeout: 300000,
    defaultCommandTimeout: 300000,
    requestTimeout: 300000,
    responseTimeout: 300000,
    e2e: {
        retries: 3,
        // We've imported your old cypress plugins here.
        // You may want to clean this up later by importing these.
        setupNodeEvents(on, config) {
            return require('./cypress/plugins/index.ts').default(on, config);
        },
        specPattern: 'cypress/e2e/**/*.{js,jsx,ts,tsx}',
    },
});

Closing as resolved.
