--config-file changes working directory, Cypress 9 -> 10/11/12/13 #22689
Description
Current behavior
In after:run task, Cypress 10 is using the location of configuration file as current working directory. In Cypress 9 it is the root of project, or where the actual cypress run command is run.
After migrating from Cypress 9 to 10 some plugins I'm using started failing. They are relying on Cypress 9's functionality when it comes to current working directory, e.g. when reading files from disk.
I keep my cypress.config.ts in a separate folder - not in the project root.
/workspaces/vite-everything
└── config
└── cypress
├── component-index.html
├── cypress.config.ts
├── support.component.ts
└── support.ts
cypress run --component --config-file config/cypress/cypress.config.ts
// config/cypress/cypress.config.ts
setupNodeEvents(on) {
on('after:run', () => {
console.log('[after:run] cwd is', process.cwd());
// > [after:run] cwd is /workspaces/vite-everything/config/cypress
});
},Desired behavior
The current working directory should match with Cypress 9.
/workspaces/vite-everything
└── config
└── cypress
├── cypress.json
├── plugins.ts
└── support.ts
cypress run-ct --config-file config/cypress/cypress.json
// config/cypress/plugins.ts
on('after:run', () => {
console.log('[after:run] cwd is', process.cwd());
// [after:run] cwd is /workspaces/vite-everything
