What does everyone do for storing

baseUrl

? The docs at https://docs.cypress.io/api/plugins/configuration-api#Switch-between-multiple-configuration-files indicate that this value can be set in

cypress/config/env.json

but it fails when I do that. I have to have it set in

cypress.json

or pass it in at runtime via my run scripts. I am thinking about using

/plugins/index.js

to set my

baseUrl

, but it would really be nice to just set it in my environmental config files. Anyone else been down this path before and know what I'm missing?

Did you forget to read the env config file and return it from your plugin file?

function getConfigurationByFile(file) {
  const pathToConfigFile = path.resolve('..', 'config', `${file}.json`)

  return fs.readJson(pathToConfigFile)
}

// plugins file
module.exports = (on, config) => {
  // accept a configFile value or use development by default
  const file = config.env.configFile || 'development'

  return getConfigurationByFile(file)
}

My code looks different but this must be happening because I can use other data in my

/config/env.json

files in tests.
