How to run Cypress in test mode instead production?

Cypress is by default run in production mode (process.env.NODE_ENV === 'production'). I want to run it in 'test' mode because I have some functionalities in my code which should not be run under test, for example reporting to Sentry

I have something like this in my application code:

if (process.env.NODE_ENV === 'production' || process.env.NODE_ENV === 'development') {
//report to sentry
}

I have tried to set environment variables in Cypress but it is set only for test files. 

"test:e2e": "percy exec -- vue-cli-service test:e2e --mode test"

I have also tried to run command with --mode test but then there is a problem with test runner (is not starting tests)

Regards

You are passing an option to cypress and not setting an environment variable. If you want to set an environment variable do this on mac,

"test:e2e": "NODE_ENV='development' percy exec -- vue-cli-service test:e2e"

or in windows

"test:e2e": "SET NODE_ENV='development'  percy exec -- vue-cli-service test:e2e"

or you can use something more sophisticated like this https://www.npmjs.com/package/cross-env
