Cypress.io: CLI --config-file & Cypress.env(), undefined

I trying to figure out how to read a config file provided by CLI parameter --config-file

Using this parameter as follows cypress open --config-file cypress/config/stage.json

Contents for stage.json file is:

{
  "auth_url": "https://example.com/",
  "auth_username": "[email protected]",
  "auth_password": "password"
}

However... using Cypress.env('...'), values return undefined, as detected by the following expect.

const authUsername = Cypress.env('auth_username');
const authPassword = Cypress.env('auth_password');
const authUrl = Cypress.env('auth_url');

expect(authUsername).to.be.a('string').not.empty;
expect(authPassword).to.be.a('string').not.empty;
expect(authUrl).to.be.a('string').not.empty;

What am I missing? Thank you, much appreciated.

If you want to read the values from stage.json config file, you need to use the command Cypress.config instead of Cypress.env:

// Use Cypress.config
{
  "auth_url": "https://example.com/",
  "auth_username": "[email protected]",
  "auth_password": "password"
}

If you want to read with Cypress.env command, within stage.json you should declare as:

// Use Cypress.env
{
    "env": {
        "auth_url": "https://example.com/",
        "auth_username": "[email protected]",
        "auth_password": "password"
    }
}
