Specify Cypress config files

Learn how you can specify a Cypress config file for your test runs on BrowserStack.

Starting v1.5.0, you can specify the Cypress config file that you want to use in two ways:

1. Mentioning the config file details in browserstack.json
2. Using the --cypress-config-file CLI param

Using browserstack.json

You can use the cypress_config_file key in run_settings option to specify the Cypress config file that you want to use.

For example:

{
  ...
  "run_settings": {
    ...
    "cypress_config_file": "./cypress.json"
    ...
  }
  ...
}

Using the CLI

You can use the following CLI param while running the tests using the run command:

For example:

# Pass a relative path to the CLI
browserstack-cypress run --sync --cypress-config-file ./cypress.json

# Pass an absolute path like this
browserstack-cypress run --sync --cypress-config-file /Users/holmes/project/tests/cypress.staging.json
