Using --open runs Cypress with the UI, not headless.

Using --debug or --watch are not valid Cypress CLI flags.

The --headless flag runs Cypress tests without opening the browser UI, suitable for automated environments.

Common Mistakes

Selecting browsers not installed or unsupported may cause errors.

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Including quotes around the spec path causes errors.

Omitting the file extension leads to file not found errors.

The --spec option requires the file path without quotes for correct CLI parsing.

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using --headless instead of --headed when UI is needed.

Forgetting to add --record when wanting to save test results.

Use --headed to run tests with the browser UI visible, and --record to save the test run results to Cypress Dashboard.

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using default config file when a specific one is needed.

Mixing up browser names or modes.

Adding quotes around file names or flags.

The --config-file option specifies which config file to use, --headless runs tests without UI, and --browser firefox runs tests in Firefox.
