Unable to run component test in parallel

[jasedwards]

Current Behavior

When running the cypress executor in my CI (azure devops) the parallel flag is not passed into cypress. I have followed the instructions for passing args and it still does not work. The following is everything I have tried along with the error message which is the same for each try.

in the yaml:

	 - script: |
          npx nx component-test test-app --args=\"--parallel\" --record --tag ${{parameters.tagName}} --env.grepTags=${{parameters.grep}} --env.grepFilterSpecs=${{parameters.grepFilterSpecs}} --env.grepOmitFiltered=${{parameters.grepFilterSpecs}} --ci-build-id $(Build.BuildId)_$(System.JobAttempt)

and

	 - script: |
          npx nx component-test test-app --args="--parallel" --record --tag ${{parameters.tagName}} --env.grepTags=${{parameters.grep}} --env.grepFilterSpecs=${{parameters.grepFilterSpecs}} --env.grepOmitFiltered=${{parameters.grepFilterSpecs}} --ci-build-id $(Build.BuildId)_$(System.JobAttempt)

and in project.json

    "component-test": {
      "executor": "@nx/cypress:cypress",
      "options": {
        "args": ["--parallel"],
        "cypressConfig": "apps/test-app/cypress.config.ts",
        "testingType": "component",
        "skipServe": true,
        "devServerTarget": "test-app:build"
      }
    }

Expected Behavior

I should be able to run component tests in parallel

Would also like to point out that I have stepped through the executor and I can't see anywhere that it even cares or checks for args.something. args.parallel is listed as overrides in the run.js file but there is a property for parallel set to false already. I tried to debug further but get lost and can't actually find the starting point to debug. I feel like I followed your documentation as much as I possibly could so any acknowledgment that this has been seen or a suggestion on what I did wrong would be appreciated. I am currently blocked on this and there does not seem to be any more info anywhere.
