here is my test:

describe('settings page test', () =>{
    it('tests navigation to settings page from login', () =>{
        console.log(Cypress.config().baseUrl)
        cy.visit(Cypress.config().baseurl)

the console.log(Cypress.config().baseUrl) sure enough is containing the value my baseUrl is set as.

{
  "baseUrl": "https://superniftyurltho.com",
  "env": {

  }
}

and here is the error

    cy.visit() must be called with a url 
or an options object containing a url as its 1st argumentLearn more

anyone know what might be going on?

If you have the baseUrl defined in your cypress.json you can use the cy.visit() in your tests as:

cy.visit('/')

OR,

If you want to use the Cypress.config() method to access the baseUrl from your cypress.json you have to use:

cy.visit(Cypress.config('baseUrl'))

OR,

With your example, the 'u' in the baseurl is in lower case, it should be in upper case. Thanks, @Barmy Fotheringay-Phipps and @Aloysius Parker for pointing it out.

cy.visit(Cypress.config().baseUrl)

Just to clarify, Javascript is case sensitive so accessing the baseUrl property of your config object must use an exact case match,

Cypress.config().baseurl === undefined

so

cy.visit(undefined)

causes the error cy.visit() must be called with a url...
