Optional You can also create an environment for your Cypress tests.

3. Load and configure the plugin from your cypress plugin file.

cypress.config.js

Note the async keyword on the setupNodeEvents function. Cypress will await the results of the Promise returned.

Skipping your tests

With your flag turned on and returning a default variation of false, you can target specific tests or suites using the suite or test attributes from the cypress context kind. Your test suites and test names will be automatically populated in the targeting rule dropdowns for you.

When the flag evaluates to true, the matched tests or suites will be skipped by Cypress. See the Cypress docs for more details about test statuses.
