Overriding config file with env variable in Cypress

votes

I am using this link as a reference to pass configuration to my cypress tests : https://docs.cypress.io/api/plugins/configuration-api.html#Switch-between-multiple-configuration-files

My sample config file looks like this:

 {
  "env": {
    "country": "US",
    "testenv": "staging",
    "US": {
     "baseUrl" : "somevalue"
    }
}

Now I want to override the country value from the command line, I tried using

cypress open --env country="Germany"

but it still doesn't pickup the value passed in command line and still takes the value from configuration file. Any help on this is much appreciated!

Not sure what happens in your case. Here is the resolved settings when doing just npx cypress open

Now when I run with $ npx cypress open --env country=Canada here is the resolved settings tab
