Cypress.env present but saying it is undefined

[diogormendes]

I'm saving an API tokes as a Cypress.env

When I call this on the test, it says is undefined.
But printing the envs right before we can see it is there.

What may I be doing wrong ?

@diogormendes This likely how your test is written given how this value is resolving at the time these commands are being queued.

If you have:

.then(() => {
  Cypress.env('token', 'val')
})

cy.log(Cypress.env('token'))

The Cypress.env('token') value at the time cy.log() is added indeed undefined.

If you were add the cy.log() in a then callback, it would be be queued after the env value has been set, it will be defined:

.then(() => {
  Cypress.env('token', 'val')
})
.then(() => {
  cy.log(Cypress.env('token'))
})
