Cypress won't open the specified URL

When I run the test, the specified URL does not open, even though it is entered correctly and set in BaseUrl in cypress.config.js:

> module.exports = defineConfig({   e2e: {
>     "projectId": "fi4fhz",
>     "viewportHeight": 1080,
>     "viewportWidth": 1920,
>     specPattern: 'cypress/e2e/**/*.{js,jsx,ts,tsx}',
>     baseUrl: 'https://pha.mm.int:6001/',
>    
>        setupNodeEvents(on, config) {
> 
>     },   },

enter image description here

In every test file I have this:

 beforeEach(() => {
        cy.runInWeb();
    });

and in commands.js I have:

Cypress.Commands.add("runInWeb", () => { cy.visit(Cypress.e2e().projectUrl) });

and in cypress.config.js I have:

"projectUrl": "https://pha.mm.int:6001/"

but it's not functioning. Where is the problem?

Yes you visit() but not in the right way, if you store your url in env variable you get it out like this:

Cypress.Commands.add("runInWeb", () => { cy.visit(Cypress.env('projectUrl')) });

and you store the default like this:

// cypress.config.js

const { defineConfig } = require("cypress");

module.exports = defineConfig({
  e2e: {
    setupNodeEvents(on, config) {
      // implement node event listeners here
    },
    specPattern: 'cypress/e2e/**/*.cy.{js,jsx,ts,tsx}'
  },
  env: {
    projectUrl: 'https://pha.mm.int:6001/',
  },
})

or cypress.env.json

{
  "projectUrl": "https://pha.mm.int:6001/"
}

Ensure that you have this beforeEach prior to running your it test blocks. You need to use cy.visit('/') before each of your tests.

beforeEach(() => {  
        //cy.session(id, setup); Use is if you want to stay logged into your application
        cy.visit('/);
        cy.wait(100);
      });

If you're interested in using a session, visit the cypress docs here:

The baseUrl value https://pha.mm.int:6001/ shows up in the browser address bar because Cypress uses it to configure set up the runner.

But the <iframe> containing the web page under test isn't changed until you perform
the first cy.visit('/').

This is to allow you to execute code before the page load occurs, like cy.intercept() and cy.fixture().

Based on the information in the question, I assume that you did not include a cy.visit() command. Without that command, Cypress does not know to open a webpage.
