Cypress logs show localhost:<randomport> instead of real URL

[sagi-rika]

Hi,

I have been using Cypress for a while now and I'm really satisfied. I use env vars to configure my baseUrl, and its working great. Lately, I've noticed that the logs of cy.visit (for example), show that the domain of the request is, for example, localhost:62312 instead of something.sandbox.net.

Is that on purpose? I wish to see the real url for debugging purposes.

I should note that the same fake domain is shown in the console's address bar while the tests run.

thanks!

I'd need a reproducible example to exactly understand, but it sounds like the baseUrl is not being correctly set if the main windows url is localhost + random port. https://on.cypress.io/best-practices#Without-baseUrl-set-Cypress-loads-main-window-in-localhost-random-port

You ar ecorrect. I was setting baseUrl inside the env property, instead of the top level
