Current behavior

Title: Error launching browser

Message:

Downloading and starting the Electron Starting Guide example from the docs, build the binaries , for example /out/electron-quick-start-win32-x64/electron-quick-start.exe and link that Electron Browser to Cypress Browsers list to execute the tests ( https://docs.cypress.io/guides/guides/launching-browsers#Launching-by-a-path ) Currently this causes the following error:

Cypress failed to make a connection to the Chrome DevTools Protocol after retrying for 50 seconds.

This usually indicates there was a problem opening the Chrome browser.

The CDP port requested was <span class="ansi-yellow-fg">50877</span>.

Desired behavior

Downloading and starting the Electron Starting Guide example from the docs, build the binaries for example /out/electron-quick-start-win32-x64/electron-quick-start.exe and link that Electron Browser to Cypress Browsers list to execute the tests ( https://docs.cypress.io/guides/guides/launching-browsers#Launching-by-a-path )

Test code to reproduce

Test taken from Cypress.io

const execa = require('execa')
const findBrowser = () => {
const browserPath =
    '{path_to}/electron-quick-start/out/electron-quick-start-win32-x64/electron-quick-start.exe'

return execa(browserPath, ['--version']).then((result) => {

    return {
        name: 'My.Electron.Browser',
        channel: 'stable',
        family: 'chromium',
        displayName: 'My.Electron.Browser',
        version: '1.0.0',
        path: browserPath,
        majorVersion: '1.0.0',
    }
})

}

module.exports = (on, config) => {
    return findBrowser().then((browser) => {
        return {
            browsers: config.browsers.concat(browser),
        }
    })
}

Versions
