Analysis

Some hints:
The following error in the logs. Keep in mind that it happens at the start of the suite, so it's followed by several successful tests. Looks like playwright is currently triaging the same error

libva error: vaGetDriverNameByIndex() failed with unknown libva error, driver_name = (null)
[6037:0812/181450.054272:ERROR:gpu_memory_buffer_support_x11.cc(44)] dri3 extension not supported.

Cypress Version

10.4.0

Seeing this a lot, and my server is crashing. Not 100% if this is related.

seeing this, when trying to run in ci:

libva error: vaGetDriverNameByIndex() failed with unknown libva error, driver_name = (null)
[29310:0908/142840.488087:ERROR:sandbox_linux.cc(377)] InitializeSandbox() called with multiple threads in process gpu-process.
[29310:0908/142840.493355:ERROR:gpu_memory_buffer_support_x11.cc(44)] dri3 extension not supported

the issue in my case was with electron browser, thus switched to chromium and ran fine.

• I can reproduce the errors

libva error: vaGetDriverNameByIndex() failed with unknown libva error, driver_name = (null)
ERROR:gpu_memory_buffer_support_x11.cc(44)] dri3 extension not supported.

on GitHub ubuntu-20.04 & ubuntu-22.04
with electron & chrome browsers
running in container: cypress/included:12.2.0 (with Node.js 16.16.0).

I have cloned the test https://github.com/cypress-io/github-action/tree/master/examples/v10/basic and modified it to run under Cypress 12.2.0.

The test runs successfully, so the errors are just a distraction.

Would it be helpful for me to open a separate new issue regarding the libva and dri3 errors?

• Running Cypress in WSL2 caused "gpu_memory_buffer_support_x11.cc(44)]" ERROR #23343 also mentions the error message, however this issue is closed

• The issue dri3 extension not supported error when running with xvfb in GitHub Action microsoft/playwright-python#1277 you mentioned is also closed.

This issue has not had any activity in 180 days. Cypress evolves quickly and the reported behavior should be tested on the latest version of Cypress to verify the behavior is still occurring. It will be closed in 14 days if no updates are provided.

Flaky tests from cypress-io/cypress-example-recipes are recorded into Cypress Cloud.

I don't see the test from this issue appearing in the Flaky tests list, so I suggest to close this issue.

• ERROR:gpu_memory_buffer_support_x11 on GitHub Ubuntu #25357 is separately logged.

Closing since this is likely stale
