cypress: Bad Option: --no-sandbox thrown when ELECTRON_RUN_AS_NODE=1

Current behavior

I am working to integrate cypress testing into our CI. I was getting Xvfb errors, so I started using the ELECTRON_RUN_AS_NODE=1 env variable.

However, when that variable is fixed, it fixes the Xvfb errors but causes some bad option errors.

Desired behavior

Run the tests

Test code to reproduce

My configuration is:

{
  "fileServerFolder": ".",
  "fixturesFolder": "./e2e/fixtures",
  "integrationFolder": "./e2e/integration",
  "modifyObstructiveCode": false,
  "pluginsFile": "./e2e/plugins/index.ts",
  "supportFile": "./e2e/support/index.ts",
  "video": false,
  "videosFolder": "./e2e/videos",
  "screenshotsFolder": "./e2e/screenshots",
  "chromeWebSecurity": false,
  "baseUrl": "http://localhost:4200",
  "viewportHeight": 960,
  "viewportWidth": 1536,
  "env": {
    "tsConfig": "./e2e/tsconfig.json"
  },
  "ignoreTestFiles": [
    "**/__snapshots__/*",
    "**/__image_snapshots__/*"
  ]
}

I am also setting the env var ELECTRON_RUN_AS_NODE=1 externally by using export ELECTRON_RUN_AS_NODE=1

Cypress Version

v8.3.0 (Also tested in 8.4.1)

Other

Not sure if the issue is related or not, but I can’t test this issue locally because when I set the ELECTRON_RUN_AS_NODE=1 env variable I get the error Error: Cannot find module '/Users/reidkersey/Library/Caches/Cypress/8.3.0/Cypress.app/Contents/MacOS/Contents/Resources/app/index.js'

I have also tried setting "ELECTRON_RUN_AS_NODE": "1" in the env section of the config file, and that didn’t work, and gave me the Xvfb error.
