How do you pass environment variables to a component test?

[gvocale]

I have tried the following, but doesn't seem to work:

yarn cypress open-ct --env IS_TEST=true

and then in a react component

console.log(process.env.IS_TEST) //undefined

How do I pass the IS_TEST variable so that I can access it in a React component?

Hi @gvocale,

the --env option must be used on cypress run: https://docs.cypress.io/guides/guides/environment-variables#Option-4-env

I tried to

• add --env
• add defineConfig({component.env})
• add .env.test
  but still get undefined in the component if I console.log the value. Any idea?
