Page Not Found for https://on.cypress.io/opening-the-app

[MikeMcC399]

Current behavior

The link https://on.cypress.io/opening-the-app, which is displayed when executing cypress install, no longer works.

It redirects to https://docs.cypress.io/opening-the-app which displays the text "Page Not Found".

Desired behavior

The vanity link
https://on.cypress.io/opening-the-app

should redirect to the active page

https://docs.cypress.io/app/get-started/open-the-app

Test code to reproduce

mkdir cy-test
cd cy-test
git init
npm init -y
CYPRESS_INSTALL_BINARY=0 npm install cypress --save-dev
npx cypress install --force

Cypress Version

This is a regression caused by a reorganization of the documentation site https://docs.cypress.io/ on Oct 22, 2024.

The source page was moved and renamed from

docs/guides/getting-started/opening-the-app.mdx

to

docs/app/get-started/open-the-app.mdx

This is a type: bug rather than a content: rewrite

@MikeMcC399, thanks for bringing this to our attention! I updated the vanity url to point to the correct document (this may take a few minutes to deploy).
