Chrome WSL wrapper script for Cypress (place in /usr/bin/chrome)

chrome.sh

#!/bin/bash
if [ "$1" == "--version" ]; then
  version=$(reg.exe query 'HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Google\Chrome\BLBeacon' /v version | grep version)
  echo $version | sed -r -e 's/version\s+REG_SZ\s+/Google Chrome /'
  exit
fi

userprofile=$(cmd.exe /C 'echo %userprofile%' | tr -d '\r\n')
cypress_folder="$HOME/.config/Cypress"

if [ -d $cypress_folder ] && [ ! -L $cypress_folder ]; then
  mv $cypress_folder "$(wslpath $userprofile)/Cypress"
  ln -s "$(wslpath $userprofile)/Cypress" $cypress_folder
fi

args=${@//$cypress_folder/$userprofile\/Cypress}
exec winrun chrome $args

Installation:

1. Install my winrun script to work around a WSL issue
2. Install the Cypress dependencies on your WSL distro
3. Install and run an X server for Windows, e.g. VcXsrc
4. Put the following in your .bashrc: export DISPLAY=:0.0 (if necessary, modify the number to suit your X server configuration)
5. Save this Gist, or copy its contents, to /usr/bin/chrome in your WSL distro
6. Make the file executable, e.g. sudo chmod +x /usr/bin/chrome

Usage:

• Just use Cypress like you normally would in Linux
