Log as error message in the cypress command log

[RVledder]

With log it is possible to log a message to the cypress command log. This has a blue color and is for information.

Is it also possible to log an error message?

The use-case is this: I have added a command. But for this command to successfully execute the environment variables have to be set. I would like the task to pause when no environment variable has been set, and the refer to the docs:

Cypress.Commands.add('login', () => {

  if (!Cypress.env('SOME_API_URL')) {
    // ideally this would be a red message instead of blue
    cy.log('Can\'t login because not all necessary Cypress environment variables have been set.');
    cy.log('Please check the readme in this project.');
    cy.pause();
  }

  cy.request({
    url: Cypress.env('SOME_API_URL'),
    // left out for brevity
  }).then(resp => {
    // left out for brevity
    cy.log('succesfully logged in.');
  }).as('login');
}

@StudioSpindle Just curious, but why not just throw an error? You'll need to make updates and restart the test to successfully run after the envs have been configured.

Ahh, that is a good suggestion. Didn't think of that.

Tried it and that looks perfect. Ty
