cypress open --config baseUrl=https://... won't open
If you are having trouble opening Cypress with a specific configuration option like --config baseUrl=https://...
, there could be a few potential issues to consider:
Ensure that Cypress is installed: Make sure that you have Cypress installed globally or locally within your project. You can install Cypress globally using the command
npm install -g cypress
. If you want to install it locally, navigate to your project directory and runnpm install cypress
.Check your command syntax: Make sure you are running the Cypress command with the correct syntax. The
--config
option should be followed by the configuration key-value pairs. For example, the correct syntax for setting thebaseUrl
configuration would becypress open --config baseUrl=https://...
.Verify the existence of the configuration file: Check if you have a
cypress.json
orcypress.env.json
file in your project directory. These files are used to store configuration options. If the configuration option is defined in the configuration file, you don't need to pass it as a command-line argument.Check the value of the
baseUrl
configuration option: Ensure that the value provided for thebaseUrl
configuration is valid. Make sure it is a valid URL starting withhttp://
orhttps://
.Debugging: If the issue persists, try running the Cypress command with the
--debug
flag to get more detailed debug information. This may provide additional insights into the problem.
