Skip a Cypress Test in Commandline

I have a cypress integration test that I do not want to run in my CI/CD pipeline. I know I can use .skip() function to skip the test but what I am looking for is a way to exclude the test by passing some command line argument itself(like we have in case of Xunit test cases). Is there any way to do that?

You can specify the tests you want to be run by using the cypress run --spec option. So you can move the tests you want to run into their own folder, 'cypress/integration/testsToRun/**/*' for example, and Cypress will run only the specified tests and skip the rest.

One option can be to use the Node package cypress-select-tests. Once installed, you can add some keywords to your describe().

eg. describe('test name (ignore)', () => {

And then run your tests based on the keyword ignore. Below command will run all tests except the ones which has ignore written in the describe().

## runs tests NOT with "ignore" in the title 
$ npx cypress run --env grep='ignore',invert=true

I would put an Environment variable in cypres.env.json file and put the questionable It case in an if statement like:

context('conditional test', () => {
    if (Cypress.env('myVariable')) {
        it('conditional test', function () {
            //code to be run only if the variable is true
        })
    }
}
