Problem: Cypress not installed in Integration Test Action

[danloveg]

Current Behavior

Steps to reproduce the behavior

1. Make a new pull request to qa/2.x

Note that the Run tests step in the Integration tests workflow fails. This message will be in the failed Run tests step:

The cypress npm package is installed, but the Cypress binary is missing.

Also note that this message will be in the Install NPM dependencies step:

npm warn install-scripts 2 packages had install scripts blocked because they are not covered by allowScripts:
npm warn install-scripts @parcel/watcher@2.5.1 (install: node scripts/build-from-source.js)
npm warn install-scripts cypress@15.15.0 (postinstall: node dist/index.js --exec install)

Expected Behavior

The integration tests should not fail.

Possible Solution

NPM is blocking post-install scripts, which looks to be a requirement to install the Cypress binary. Explicitly call npx cypress install to install it.

I've verified that this solution works in this pull request: #2403 (I've since reverted the commit adding that fix)

Context and Notes

The default behaviour of npm has changed to disallow post-install by default, see this blog post:
