Cypress.env's usage is not clear in the documentation

[BrunoBernardino]

The example at https://github.com/cypress-io/cypress/wiki/env#no-arguments-usage shows the file like:

// cypress.json
{
  "env": {
    "foo": "bar",
    "baz": "quux"
  }
}

But that doesn't work. It should, in fact, be:

// cypress.json
{
  "cypress": {
    "env": {
      "foo": "bar",
      "baz": "quux"
    }
  }
}

You are right. In the next version I'm going to automatically remove the nested cypress object from existing cypress.json. This has been on my todo list for about 8 months now, so it's time.

[BrunoBernardino]

That would actually be better.

I imagine there will be backwards-compatibility so projects don't just start failing :)

[brian-mann]

Yes, I'll write it to automatically migrate existing cypress.json to the new format so nothing breaks.

Fixed in 0.12.4.
