cypress folder being added even with custom folders set

[brucewpaul]

Current behavior:

I have the following in my cypress.json:

{
  "fileServerFolder": "./test/_integration",
  "integrationFolder": "./test/_integration/integration",
  "pluginsFile": "./test/_integration/plugins",
  "screenshotsFolder": "./test/_integration/screenshots",
  "supportFile": "./test/_integration/support",
  "videosFolder": "./test/_integration/videos",
}

but when I run cypress open, it scaffolds a cypress folder

Desired behavior:

To not scaffold a cypress if custom folders are set

How to reproduce:

run cypress open with the above conifg

• Operating System: osx
• Cypress Version: 2.0.3
• Browser Version: 64

There has definitely been internal discussion about giving more control over the scaffolding process that needs to be implemented.

• Allowing users to turn off scaffolding
• Choosing a dir other than main dir to scaffold
• Having a command specifically to scaffold Add cypress init command to seed / scaffold test files on current directory #619

I assumed that the option (as mentioned by @brucewpaul):

  "fileServerFolder": "./test/_integration",

...which in my case is set to ./tests/e2e/cypress, would stop the scaffolding as the whole cypress thing is moved there. Did I misunderstand?

I actually got Cypress to run without scaffolding with the following setup. The scripts that successfully ran are mentioned in the package.json excerpt:

cypress.json (at project's root)

{
  "fileServerFolder": "tests/e2e/cypress",
  "fixturesFolder": "tests/e2e/cypress/fixtures",
  "integrationFolder": "tests/e2e/cypress/integration",
  "pluginsFile": "tests/e2e/cypress/plugins/index.js",
  "screenshotsFolder": "tests/e2e/cypress/screenshots",
  "supportFile": "tests/e2e/cypress/support/index.js",
  "videosFolder": "tests/e2e/cypress/videos"
}

package.json

  "devDependencies": {
    "cypress": "^3.4.1"
  },
  "scripts": {
    "test:e2e:open": "cypress open --config fileServerFolder=tests/e2e/cypress",
    "test:e2e:run": "cypress run --config fileServerFolder=tests/e2e/cypress"
  }

Is this solved?

I believe this should now be resolved in v10 since you can choose to not scaffold example files when calling cypress open
