medium📝 Debug Q14 of 15

Cypress - CI/CD and Reporting

AThe <code>npx cypress run</code> command is missing or misspelled in the pipeline

BThe tests have syntax errors causing them to be skipped

CThe pipeline does not have permission to access the test files

Solution:

Step 1: Check pipeline commands for running tests
If npx cypress run is missing or misspelled, tests won't run but pipeline may still succeed.
Step 2: Evaluate other options
Syntax errors usually cause test failures, not silent skips; permission issues cause errors; npm install before tests is correct practice.
Final Answer:
The npx cypress run command is missing or misspelled in the pipeline -> Option A
