Google Chrome for testing - version not parsed correctly

[jannesep]

Current behavior

When using Google Chrome for testing, Cypress cannot parse the browser version correctly:

bash-5.1$ chrome --version
Google Chrome for Testing 118.0.5993.70

browser: { name: 'chrome', family: 'chromium', channel: 'stable', displayName: 'Chrome', version: 'for', path: 'chrome', minSupportedVersion: 64, majorVersion: 'for', isHeadless: true, isHeaded: false }

Desired behavior

Cypress should add "Google Chrome for Testing" for the browser detection.

Cypress Version

13.3.2

Node version

Oh, that is not great. Open to a PR to fix this.

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.

Not yet resolved. On Ubuntu 22.04.4 browser is identified as

"Custom Chrome for"

and fails to complete a run.

The browser never connected. Something is wrong. The tests cannot run. Aborting...
