Was also having this issue, for the life of me couldn't work it out.
I tried:
force: true
but it just moved the error downstream - it wasn't an acceptable fix for me.Upon reading this issue, it seems outdated chrome/cypress/node version combinations can cause hassles overtime.
For what it's worth, I was on:
"cypress": "^10.4.0",
I upgraded cypress and ran npm i
and the issue disappeared:
"cypress": "^14.2.1",
I know this is a lame answer but often upgrading cypress versions so it's update to date with latest node/chrome versions does help.
If you are already on the latest, apologies - ignore me (: I wasted hours on this so hopefully this can help someone one day.
