I'm using Cypress to run some tests on my VueJS project.
I just want to run the test with the browser I want, so I made a .env like below
BROWSER=edge
In the package.json file, I wrote the following command:
"scripts":{
"cy:run" : "cypress run --browser %BROWSER%"
}
I know I can enter the command like this
"cy:run" : "cypress run --browser edge"
But the reason why I created the .env file is that after the test is completed, I want to save the test results with the name of the browser. So when I change the browser in the .env I just run the npm command.
But without success. Cypress cannot detect the browser I want. I've tried many methods including this.
Can anyone tell me how to make it work? Thank you so much.
I have tried using a specific browser and after the test is completed, the test results are saved with the name I want, which means the BROWSER in the .env file works.

Full "browser" option requires two dashes
"scripts":{ "cy:run" : "cypress run --browser %BROWSER%" }Or use a dash to represent the shortcut "-b"
"scripts":{ "cy:run" : "cypress run -b %BROWSER%" }I solved this problem by using cross-env
First, I installed
cross-envusingnpm i cross-envIn my
package.json, I modify it like this"scripts":{ "run:env" : "cross-env BROWSER=\"edge\" npm run cy:run" "cy:run" : "cross-env-shell cypress run --browser=$BROWSER" }Then I run
npm run run:envEverything is fine now.
Even if I delete the .env file, process.env.BROWSER is still available
