I'm also facing the same issue. Did you find a solution?

What operating system are you using? Can you post the full terminal output when running

I've had the same issue running it on Ubuntu 18.04 inside WSL on Windows 10. Basically something like this happens:

$ ./cy-run.sh
Running Cypress e2e tests headlessly without copying files
Could not find a Cypress configuration file, exiting.

We looked but did not find a cypress.json file in this folder: /e2e

The reason is that Docker running in WSL sometimes behaves weirdly when it comes mounting volumes, so the e2e folder was just empty.

To fix it I had to tweak with my Docker settings - remove and re-add shared folders and (despite running this command in Ubuntu) use the windows path to mount the volume when running docker. So instead of
docker run -it -v $PWD:/e2e -w /e2e cypress/included:6.2.1 $@

Something like this worked:
docker run -it -v "C:/workspace/demo-docker-cypress-included/e2e -w /e2e cypress/included:6.2.1 $@
