Have a way to visit a local HTML file without prepending the `baseUrl`

Current behavior:

If I want to open a local file for test, like: cy.visit('file:///Users/jasonzhang/Desktop/test.html')

I got an error:

CypressError: cy.visit() failed trying to load: file:///Users/jasonzhang/Desktop/test.html We attempted to make an http request to this URL but the request failed without a response. We received this error at the network level:

Error: Invalid URI “file:///Users/jasonzhang/Desktop/test.html” Common situations why this would fail:

• you don’t have internet access
• you forgot to run / boot your web server
• your web server isn’t accessible
• you have weird network configuration settings on your computer

Desired behavior:

Support it.

Versions

3.3.1

You can visit a file by specifying the relative path to cy.visit() - relative to the projectRoot.

cy.visit('./test.html')

When I run cy.visit(‘./cypress/screenshots/screenshot.html’) the baseurl is being added and I am not on file:// https://fleetlocate-stage.spireon.com/./cypress/screenshots/screenshot.html

I was expecting file://./cypress/screenshots/screenshot.html

Using cypress 3.6.0
