cypress-plugin-dotenv

⚙️ Install

npm:

npm install cypress-plugin-dotenv

yarn:

yarn add cypress-plugin-dotenv

pnpm:

pnpm add cypress-plugin-dotenv

🧪 Usage

Import the plugin into your config file:

import { dotenv } from 'cypress-plugin-dotenv';
// or
const dotenv = require('cypress-plugin-dotenv');

export default defineConfig({
  e2e: {
    setupNodeEvents: (_, config) => {
      return dotenv(config);
    }
  }
});

🔧 Dynamic Types

Automate TypeScript definitions for .env with:

import { generateEnvTypes } from 'cypress-plugin-dotenv';

on('before:browser:launch', (browser, launchOptions) => {
  generateEnvTypes(outputPath, options);

  // your code
});

⚠️ Important: Run Cypress once after setup to initialize the types.
