Hi everyone, I'm facing a really weird issue with

cy.writeFile

does not work in

cypress run

mode when writing data from the async function but works in cypress IDE

cypress open

mode Any idea why this is not working in

cypress run

mode?

async function getSheet() {
return 'something'
}

cy.writeFile('file.js', JSON.stringify(getSheet))

what is the large test fragment?

the idea is to call async function to create an array from the spreadsheet, I found it generally impossible to call API (async function) to get some data from the spreadsheet and then use it like :

let exercises = []

async function getSheet() {
// call sheet api
const response = await fetch(exportUrl);
// etc
return exercises
}

for (const array of exercises){
        it ('run ' + array, ()=>{
        // other cypress stuff here
  })
})

So I create a separate spec file to upload API data and then save it to the file

async function getSheet() {
// call sheet api
const response = await fetch(exportUrl);
// etc
cy.writeFile(file_path + 'Array.js', response )

}

And if you run it from cypress IDE it works fine but when I run it from

cypress run

nothing happens

a) https://glebbahmutov.com/blog/setup-cypress-data/ and b) https://cypress.tips/courses/network-testing (paid course) lesson 90 shows how to fetch data if you want to create dynamic tests like that

Thank you! I'll check it deinetely!
