I am trying to pass the value abc&def&ghi as an environment variable, via the command line, in my Cypress test.
Here is the command I am trying to run:
npx cypress open --env password=abc&def&ghi
When I run the above, I get this console error:
The ampersand (&) character is not allowed. The & operator is reserved for future use; wrap an ampersand in double quotation marks ("&") to pass it as part of a string.
So I updated my command to have double quotes around the & characters like so:
npx cypress open --env password=abc"&"def"&"ghi
However, with the above command the password is being read as only abc:
I assume I may need to enter an escape character or something like that.
I've tried adding double & single quotation marks around the password when passing it in too, but so far I have only been able to read it in as abc
Can someone please tell me how I can pass abc&def&ghi as an environment variable, so it can be read it correctly?
