This happens in gitpod as well. Apparently gitpod does not keep around /home/gitpod/.cache/Cypress/8.7.0/Cypress on workspace restart.

UPDATE:

Fix for gitpod here: https://community.gitpod.io/t/gitpod-and-cypress-disagree-on-cache/5535/2?utm_source=sendgrid&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=all-sendgrid-emails

Just tell cypress to use a directory for its cache that will survive restarts:

 CYPRESS_CACHE_FOLDER=/workspace/.cypress-cache
