Component Testing, I cannot set the NODE_ENV=test

See original GitHub issue

Current behavior

Currently, the NODE_ENV stays as development.

I tried:

using --env NODE_ENV=test
export NODE_ENV=test;

Desired behavior

A way to set NODE_ENV=test before cypress runs component tests.

Test code to reproduce

cypress open --component --browser chrome

export NODE_ENV=test; cypress open --component --browser chrome

NODE_ENV=test; cypress open --component --browser chrome

cypress open --component --browser chrome --env NODE_ENV=test

Cypress Version

Hi! Please see the documentation on environment variables. You probably want CYPRESS_NODE_ENV=test? Then you can do Cypress.env('NODE_ENV') in your tests.

A follow up question: are you trying to access process.env.NODE_ENV? There is this similar stack overflow question that might be useful: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/57818181/how-to-use-process-env-variables-in-browser-running-by-cypress.

I don’t think there is a bug here, per-se, so I will close this, since I don’t see any actionable bug (yet). I will continue responding if you’ve got more questions (and re-open if we really do have a bug). Some more information about your use case (what are you testing) and stack (webpack, vite, react etc) would be helpful.

Interesting - potentially a bug in Cypress, or in the integration w/ msw… if you can post a minimal reproduction, I can take a look (know both msw and Cypress internals pretty well). Without more info, it’s difficult to advise.
