cypress 10 is not reading specPattern value after exporting new value to it

[kareemkhaleel4]

Hi everyone,

I'm facing an issue that i couldn't find a solution for it.

We have updated the version of the cypress from 9.7.0 to 10.2.0 recently, and we used to set the value of testFiles for Docker image using export CYPRESS_TEST_FILES="some files or paths"

Now the testFiles changed to specPattern, and when we use the same method, a new parameter is added to env{} object, and the existing one outside env{} object is still the same.
Now we need a way to change the value of specPattern by exporting the value (we need to change it only in some cases, and not through cypress.config.ts)

cypress.config.ts content:

import { defineConfig } from 'cypress' export default defineConfig({ env: { webBaseUrl: 'http://localhost:4200', highlightColor: '#9ef11a', download_dir: '/cypress/downloads/', }, viewportWidth: 1680, viewportHeight: 1050, defaultCommandTimeout: 15000, reporter: 'mochawesome', video: false, retries: { runMode: 1, openMode: 1, }, reporterOptions: { reportDir: 'cypress/results', overwrite: false, html: false, json: true, }, e2e: { setupNodeEvents(on, config) { return require('./cypress/plugins/index.js')(on, config) }, baseUrl: 'https://localhost', specPattern: 'cypress/e2e/**/*.cy.ts', }, })

i tired:
export CYPRESS_specPattern="cypress/e2e/**/*.spec.ts"

then run cypress:
in the settings are i got the following:

and this is the other specPattern value

and its clear that its taking the second one into considerations

any suggestions?
