config parameter not passed from action to runner

[huy-nguyen]

I was running the action with the following setting but the defaultCommandTimeout config was not passed from the action to the runner:

      - name: Run Cypress
        uses: cypress-io/github-action@v2
        with:
          install: false
          start: yarn workspace api start, yarn workspace main-ui serve
          wait-on: "http://localhost:4000/healthcheck, http://localhost:3000"
          command: yarn workspace main-ui cy:run
          config: defaultCommandTimeout=20000

However, setting that value via environment variable works:

      - name: Run Cypress
        uses: cypress-io/github-action@v2
        env:
          CYPRESS_DEFAULT_COMMAND_TIMEOUT: 20000
        with:
          install: false
          start: yarn workspace api start, yarn workspace main-ui serve
          wait-on: "http://localhost:4000/healthcheck, http://localhost:3000"
          command: yarn workspace main-ui cy:run

Encountered the same problem. Same configuration failed to be passed via the action, while successfully worked with cypress configuration-file.

I was trying to set screenshotOnRunFailure false via the action.

It looks like you ran into an issue which was not previously documented.

If you use the command parameter it overrides many other functions. See README > Custom test command:

Caution: using the action parameter command causes multiple other parameters to be ignored including: auto-cancel-after-failures, browser, ci-build-id, command-prefix, component, config, config-file, env, group, headed, parallel, project, publish-summary, quiet, record, spec and tag.

I suggest to close this issue as it is now explained.

Closing, since this is a stale inactive issue and a probable cause has been identified.
