Component testing without valid baseUrl

Current behavior

When running the integration tests, I pass the baseUrl via npm to Cypress like this:

"test": "cypress run --config baseUrl=$npm_config_host"

which allows me to do this to run the tests:

npm run test --host=http://example-host.com

When running component tests I don’t set the --host, so npm seems to just pass $npm_config_host to the baseUrl. This is offcourse not a valid URL, so Cypress shows this error:

Desired behavior

When running component testing, I would expect Cypress to ignore the baseUrl as it is not relevant in that case, as far as I am aware.

Test code to reproduce

I think you can use my code above to reproduce, if not let me know.

I tried your workaround, and it is actually better than I though! That is exactly the behavior I was looking for, thanks!

[larsk2009]

Yeah as a workaround, I just pass anything on the command line that is a valid URL.
