Is it possible to tell if cypress is running via open or run in the tests/commands file.

[sl33t]

I have a command I only want to trigger when cypress is in run mode and I want to ignore it in open mode. Currently I am using a custom script and an environment variable for this. I would like to do this in a native way if possible but cannot find this in the docs.

You can find the answer in https://glebbahmutov.com/blog/cypress-tips-and-tricks/#interactive-and-headed-mode but we probably should include this information in the official docs

Thanks! Exactly what I wanted! Please do add it to the docs.

Typescript does not like Cypress.config('isInteractive') maybe this needs to be added to type definitions as well.

[bahmutov]

I have added this to the docs here https://docs.cypress.io/guides/references/configuration.html#isInteractive still need to add some of the run-time config properties to the typescript definitions

[bahmutov]

To fill the typescript definitions I have opened #14392

what would you say is the best way to control the open/run commands along the browsers and environments?

[bahmutov]

Not sure I understand this question. Do you mean to vary the browser depending on the environment? Or run specific test commands depending on the environment?
