My test looks like

/// <reference types="Cypress" />

// print out env
Cypress.env()

// start the test
describe('homepage', () => {
    beforeEach('', () => {
        cy.visit('/')
    })

    // check for the header
    it('has header', () => {
        cy.contains('header', 'Shop')
    })

    // check for store selector
    // it('', () => {
    //
    // })

    // check for ...

});

My cypress.json looks like

{
  "baseUrl": "https://www.domain.com/",
  "fixturesFolder": "fixtures",
  "integrationFolder": "integration",
  "screenshotsFolder": "screenshots",
  "videosFolder": "videos",
  "pluginsFile": "plugins/index.js",
  "supportFile": "support/index.js",
  "env": {}
}

Desired behavior:

My test should run as expected

Steps to reproduce: (app code and test code)

Execute cypress open Run test

I run a mac

You can always see the actual resolved configuration in the Settings panel of the Test Runner. The labels are listed in order of priority (ones lower in list take precedent over higher ones) https://on.cypress.io/configuration#Resolved-Configuration

Had a similar issue with 404 and not found with a server using github actions to test; however, I had no endpoint on ‘/’ of the server so cypress was failing. Once I added an endpoint on ‘/’ of the server GitHub Actions worked seamlessly. Here is the pull request I was having issues with.
