Description
npm installwas installing packages into the wrong directory. Whennpm.packagesis set, we rename the project'spackage.jsonbefore install, so npm walks up and finds the runner'spackage.jsoninstead — putting everything in the runner'snode_modules/where Cypress can't find it.Fixed by passing
--prefix projectPathtonpm install, same waynpm rebuildalready does it.
