Getting error in cypress-split package when running in setupNodeEvents even with the basic configuration.

[cacious7]

I am getting this error:

Your configFile threw an error from: `/home/runner/work/workspace/app-folder/cypress.config.ts`

The error was thrown while executing your e2e.setupNodeEvents() function:

TypeError: (0 , cypress_split_1.default) is not a function

Test run failed, code 1
More information might be available above
Cypress module has returned the following error message:
Could not find Cypress test run results
Error: Could not find Cypress test run results

Here is my cypress.config.ts file:

import { defineConfig } from 'cypress'
import cypressSplit from 'cypress-split'

export default defineConfig({
	e2e: {
		specPattern: 'cypress/e2e/**/*.{cy,spec}.{js,jsx,ts,tsx}',
		baseUrl: 'http://localhost:2030',
		defaultCommandTimeout: 30000,
		downloadsFolder: 'cypress/downloads',
		video: true,
		videosFolder: 'cypress/videos',
		videoCompression: true,
		screenshotsFolder: 'cypress/screenshots',
		setupNodeEvents (on, config) {
			cypressSplit(on, config)
			// IMPORTANT: return the config object
			return config
		}
	}
})

And I have made the following changes in my main.yml file in .github/workflows:

    strategy:
        fail-fast: false # Continue running jobs on different machine/container even if a previous container fails
        matrix:
          # Define the number of parallel jobs
          containers: [1, 2]

and after all the checkout and build process, I have this:

      - name: Cypress run
        uses: cypress-io/github-action@v6
        with:
          start: npm run test:e2e
          browser: chrome
          record: false # Disable saving of recorded videos to Cypress Dashboard
          parallel: true
          group: 'github-action'
        env:
            SPLIT: ${{ strategy.job-total }}
            SPLIT_INDEX: ${{ strategy.job-index }}
            DEBUG: cypress-split

Not sure why it is failing. Need some urgent help please.

Kind Regards.

I have tried all the configurations even followed all your instructions and supposed working examples and this error is still not changing.

Please look into this.

Kind Regards.

1. What is the plugin version and cypress version you are using?
2. what is the node.js version?
3. You are using TypeScript, what is the tsconfig file?
4. Can you create a tiny repo with a reproducible example? Like take your project and remove everything until only the Cy / TS / plugin remains showing the crash
   It seems something goes wrong in the bundler / Node, if it does not "see" the exported function from the plugin. You can check it yourself

$ cat node_modules/cypress-split/src/index.js
...
module.exports = cypressSplit

So something really weird goes on
