Description

I am trying to follow the guide on how to run a single spec file (great for use during development of that spec). However, the example provided does not work for me and I wonder if this is a regression with the recent upgrades.

The section on this page shows the following examples:

npm run cy:run --record --spec "cypress/e2e/my-spec.cy.js"
npx cypress run --record --spec "cypress/e2e/my-spec.cy.js"

However, only the latter works for me (with npx). When I run the command with the npm script it collects all my specs and runs them.

Current version:

• node 16.14
• npm 8.5
• cypress 10.3.0

Please update the guide or fix the issue. Not sure what is going on. Thanks.

I just figured it out. You need to add -- after the script target like so,

npm run cy:run -- --record --spec "cypress/path/to/spec.cy.js"

An update would be great and may avoid some confusion from others. Thanks!
