Passing variables from the tests to cypress

[xgp]

Is it possible to pass variables from the test to cypress (somehow get them into the Cypress.env() or otherwise)? There are a couple of things I will not know until runtime, but that my tests need to have. Thank you!

I am also looking for such a feature, is there a way this can be achieved?

cf. https://docs.cypress.io/guides/guides/environment-variables#Option-3-CYPRESS_

ex.

 new CypressContainer()
            .withEnv("CYPRESS_MY_VARIABLE", "SAMPLE TEXT") 

cy.log(Cypress.env('MY_VARIABLE'))
