Unpublish create-cypress-tests

[MikeMcC399]

Current behavior

• Issue Archive create-cypress-tests as it's not compatible with Cypress > 9.x #28457 is not yet resolved.

Executing the npm package create-cypress-tests hangs at the step "Creating config files" after previously outputting a message referring to a missing file node_modules/create-cypress-tests/dist/initial-template/plugins/index.js.

• PR chore(deprecate): Remove unused create-cypress-tests package #28472 removes the source of the npm module create-cypress-tests from its location in https://github.com/cypress-io/cypress/tree/develop/npm. Also, new versions of the npm modules will not be published.

The npm module create-cypress-tests however remains published to the npm registry https://www.npmjs.com/. If it is used, it will fail to function, and the link in the README to

• Homepage now produces a 404 error

This is in addition to the previous link problems in the published README

• demo - 404 error
• Changelog - links to wrong CHANGELOG

Desired behavior

unpublish:

• https://www.npmjs.com/package/create-cypress-tests
• https://www.npmjs.com/package/create-cypress-tests-beta
• https://www.npmjs.com/package/create-cypress-tests-alpha

from the npm registry.

Test code to reproduce

Cypress Version

13.6.1

I deprecated the package: https://www.npmjs.com/package/create-cypress-tests

Going to wait a bit to unpublish I think since I don't want to unknowingly break some dependency.

We don't have access to npmjs.com/package/create-cypress-tests-beta or npmjs.com/package/create-cypress-tests-alpha to unpublish. They're not owned by our organization or any of our team.

@dmtrKovalenko

Please consider unpublishing

• https://www.npmjs.com/package/create-cypress-tests-beta
• https://www.npmjs.com/package/create-cypress-tests-alpha

$ npm view create-cypress-tests-beta maintainers
dmtr.kovalenko <[email protected]>
$ npm view create-cypress-tests-alpha maintainers
dmtr.kovalenko <[email protected]>

These npm packages link to back to https://github.com/cypress-io/cypress and the source for create-cypress-tests has now been removed.

Deprecation is a good first step.

We don't have access to npmjs.com/package/create-cypress-tests-beta or npmjs.com/package/create-cypress-tests-alpha to unpublish. They're not owned by our organization or any of our team.

I've pinged the owner in the previous post.

I'm going to close this issue following on from the deprecation:

$ npm view create-cypress-tests deprecated
Package no longer supported. Contact Support at https://www.npmjs.com/support for more info.

This is sufficient warning for users of create-cypress-tests belonging to the very low number of weekly downloads (28).

It is left up to @dmtrKovalenko if he will deprecate or unpublish npmjs.com/package/create-cypress-tests-beta and npmjs.com/package/create-cypress-tests-alpha. The package names (including beta & alpha) are also enough warning about the support level of the packages.
