How can I disable/enable a custom Helper in CLI?

Howdy 👋

So I have a custom API helper created. I want to enable/disbale the active state of the helper when running with CLI.

Here's an example from my codecept.conf.ts helper

"CustomHelper": {
      require: './helpers/custom_helper.ts', // path to module
      'enabled': true
    }

Although it's true now, I want to toggle the enabled flag. Any ideas how I can do this?

https://codecept.io/commands/#run

npx codeceptjs run --override '{ "helpers": {"CustomHelper": {"enabled": "false"}}}'

If it does not work right away, try to escape some " as \"

ah thanks for the attempt, doesn't look like it worked for me unfortunately.

Hi I guess CodeceptJS currently only supports enabling/disabling the plugins.

[alaz-aura]

yes seems that way. Perhaps I need to convert my helper logic to be a plugin instead.
