Cannot find package.json when configuring Cypress for Component Testing

[asier-perez]

I am initializing Cypress with cypress open and I have the package.json file in ../ relative path (one level upper). This does not cause any problem with E2E Testing, and I can run my tests normally. But now I am trying to configure also Component Testing. The error I get is the following one:

---

Your configFile threw an error from: cypress.config.js
We stopped running your tests because your config file crashed.

catch (err) {
    throw new Error(`Failed to require webpack config at ${webpackConfigPath} with error: ${err}`);
}

Stack trace

Error: Failed to require webpack config at /path/to/webpack.config.js with error: /wrong/path/to/package.json`);

---

The /wrong/path/to/package.json represents that it is searching the file in the wrong folder: it is searching it in the current folder (./), but instead I want it to search in ../.

This is my cypress.config.js file:

---

const { defineConfig } = require("cypress");
const codeCoverage = require("@cypress/code-coverage/task");
const grep = require("@cypress/grep/src/plugin");

module.exports = defineConfig({
  chromeWebSecurity: false,

  env: {
    logOutUrl: "/my.logout.url",
    logInHandlerUrl: "/my.login.handler.url",
    coverage: false,
  },

  e2e: {
    setupNodeEvents(on, config) {
      codeCoverage(on, config);
      grep(config);
      return config;
    },
    specPattern: "../../../../*/!(node_modules)/*/src-test/**/*.spec.js",
    fixturesFolder: ".",
  },

  component: {
    devServer: {
      framework: "create-react-app",
      bundler: "webpack",
    },
  },
});

---

I do not know if that configuration is correct, or where is the problem that causes the error. If I open cypress from the folder where my package.json is located, there is no error. But I do not want to do it from there, and I do not know why Cypress is searching for the package.json in the path I am located. Again, this does not happen with E2E tests.
