Cypress test runner hangs immediately on running cypress open

Current behavior:

When running yarn run cypress open, the Cypress Test Runner opens but immediately hangs. There is no output in the terminal, unless I force quit Cypress, when it logs The Test Runner unexpectedly exited via a exit event with signal SIGKILL (which is to be expected).

Manually opening the globally installed app works fine.

Note! I ran into #6377 when installing, and worked around by installing rjxs and rxjs-compat - unsure if that could be related.

Desired behavior:

Cypress Test Runner should open normally.

Test code to reproduce

No tests are written - I’ve tried this both in a project without a cypress folder, and in one which has the folder filled with test examples with the same result.

Versions

Cypress 4.0.1 Mac OS Catalina 10.15.3 Beta (19D62e) Firefox Nightly 74.0a1 yarn v2

Hey everyone, recently there was an issue where Cypress would hang during opening in Ubuntu due to their changing how Chromium is installed. This was a priority fix for us, which is why we released a patch fix ahead of schedule as 4.4.1. Please upgrade to this version.

These recent comments appear to be unrelated to the original issue that was opened - which involve cypress open not working in Yarn 2. Closing this issue with yarn 2 as duplicate of #6377

Hi,

I went through the same problem today. I have Ubuntu 18.04. On my side it appears it came from Chromium. I uninstalled it and now everything is back to normal. I found this solution remembering that this morning I had a notification that Chromium had been updated.
