Cypress can't take a screenshot "CypressError: cy.screenshot() timed out waiting '30000ms' to complete."

[alexbjorlig]

When running Cypress with the following config file:

jobs:
  cypress-run:
    runs-on: ubuntu-16.04
    steps:
      - name: Checkout
        uses: actions/checkout@v1
      - name: Install & run e2e tests
        uses: cypress-io/github-action@v1
        with:
          browser: chrome
          record: true # Record results to cypress dashboard
          start: npm run -s cypress:run:ci
          wait-on: 'http://localhost:4200'
          config-file: cypress.json
          wait-on-timeout: 180

Cypress can't take any screenshots?

I found this issue related issue, regarding codeship CI.

This issue is only related to github actions. I suspect that the ubuntu version could influence this error?

Hey @alexbjorlig, this is likely the same as cypress-io/cypress#5016, I would suggest commenting in that issue. Will close this issue.
