If using Cypress v10.3+, you should be able to log into your Cypress Dashboard directly from the Cypress app and have access to bi-directional data. If you have not connected GitLab to your Dashboard, you may need to use the instructions found here:
https://docs.cypress.io/guides/dashboard/gitlab-integration#Installing-the-GitLab-integration
Are you getting an error that you can provide here?
That being said, I do recommend using the latest version of Cypress (10.11.0) as there have been some bugfixes and improved user experience. Please do let me know if that works for you.
