cypress: pass array as command line argument

I am working on cypress for automatic testing. I want to pass list of variables through the command prompt.

For ex:

$(npm bin)/cypress run --env pages=page1,page2 --spec 'cypress/integration/atests/test.spec.js'

But it fails. Error is thrown as Cannot read property 'split' of undefined at piperToCommas.

Can anyone tell/guide me, how to solve this issue?

EDIT:

I think you could pass your variables with a JSON and then you can access them as a normal javascript object.

Example:

$(npm bin)/cypress run --env token='{"a":"5", "b":{"c":"x"}}'

Now in your spec, if you call Cypress.env('token') you'll get this object as output.

enter image description here

If you want the enviroment variable as an array, you could pass it this way:

$(npm bin)/cypress run --env token='["a", "b"]'

Output:

enter image description here

If I understood the question correctly, you should pass the variables in the form:

cypress run --env name1=value1,name2=value2,...

Example:

cypress run --env host=kevin.dev.local,api_server=http://localhost:8888/api/v1

This will create two environment variables, host with value kevin.dev.local and api_server with value http://localhost:8888/api/v1.
