Running "Cypress run" with multiple options from the Command Line does not work

Current behavior:

When running the command below, it’s not working:

./node_modules/.bin/cypress run --browser chrome --config baseUrl=http://localhost:45/

Desired behavior:

Cypress should start with the baseUrl configuration variable overriden and the browser being Chrome.

As a personal note, this may be because of inexperience or incorrect formating (I’m fairly new to Cypress, been using it for two weeks) as in the official Cypress doc it only gives one example using two different options (--headed --no-exit) and I’m using --browser and --config.

We need this to work as it’s the command that will be executed in an automated task every night for E2E testing.

I have found that in my case adding single quotes around the thing i am passing in to the -s flag fixed my problem. So it could be that @Bkucera had the right idea. The underlying library that cypress is using (commander) does allow for multiple flags so it is probably a parsing error in that library… it seems to choke on extra spaces or missing ’ ’ around the value

I believe this is caused by the --browser option. For example, I can use --config and --env at the same time, but as soon as --browser comes into the mix, cypress aborts without any message,
