browser with test GUI should save size

Current behavior:

using the tests GUI, every time I click Run All Tests button (or each file individually) the tests GUI window always open maximized.

my state.json on Windows (screen res: 3440x1440) is

{
  "showedOnBoardingModal": true,
  "appWidth": 800,
  "appHeight": 545,
  "appX": 2602,
  "appY": 709
}

on Ubuntu is as

{
  "showedOnBoardingModal": true,
  "appWidth": 800,
  "appHeight": 1113,
  "appX": 565,
  "appY": 54,
  "reporterWidth": 259
}

Desired behavior:

It should save the browser dimensions so it could use it to open the next time

How to reproduce:

on Windows

I’ve simply added cypress to my project through npm and run it locally

npm i --save-dev cypress
./node_modules/.bin/cypress open

and then click “run all tests” button

Test code:

const clientUrl = 'https://www.billigvvs.dk/';

describe('BilligVVS - Signup', () => {
    beforeEach(() => {
        cy.viewport('macbook-15');
        cy.visit(`${clientUrl}#sc-test`);
    });

    it('campaign loads after 60sec', () => {
        cy.getCookies();
        cy.wait(20 * 1000);
        cy.get('sign-up').should('have.value', 'abc'); // error-here
        expect(true).to.equal(true);
    });
});

The @mtc3bmtc3b solution works great, but unfortunately throws a deprecation warning because the API has changed. Here’s an updated solution:

module.exports = on => {
  on("before:browser:launch", (browser, launchOptions) => {
    if (browser.name === 'chrome' || browser.name === 'chromium' || browser.name === 'canary') {
      launchOptions.args.push("--window-size=1800,1100");
      return launchOptions;
    }
  });
};

As a workaround, you can send a window size to Chrome via plugins/index.js:

module.exports = on => {
    on('before:browser:launch', (browser = {}, args) => {
        if (browser.name === 'chrome' || browser.name === 'chromium' || browser.name === 'canary') {
            args.push('--window-size=1000,1200');
            return args;
        }
    });
};
