Setting environment variables using Vite in Cypress

Question

I'm using VueJs3 with Vite and Cypress. In my application I have an environment variable that defines my URL: consturl=import.meta.env.VITE_URL My goal is to replace this VITE_URL in Cypress. I tried creating a cypress.env.json file, writing in it: {"VITE_URL":"https://...",} but it didn't work.

If you have declared the value in the cypress.env.json file, you can use `Cypress.env('varName'); to reference it in your code

Cypress.env('VITE_URL');

Okay, I solved it. I created a .env.testing file and used it by specifying --mode test in the npm command that started cypress.

The properties of this env.testing are defined as follows:

'VITE_URL="http://..."'
