Contributors	Stephen Loughran, @john o
Date	May 17, 2022
Outcome	Got Cypress running on JohnO's machine

Problem:

An error (see below) had begun to appear (May 2022) when attempting to run Cypress e2e tests locally. This resulted in the test run exiting before any tests could run.

Cause:

There was a known conflict between the local environment and Sophos (HEE security).

Solution:

IT (Stephen Loughran) created a new security group for TIS team to allow Cypress not to be blocked by Sophos security algos.

Actions

Alert anyone outside TIS dev team of this solution as and when required.

Outcome

Resolved
