• Cypress Version: 1.4.1 beta

Is this a Feature or Bug?

Bug

Current behavior:

I can't get blacklistHosts to work at all when invoking cypress open. Here are the things I've tried:

export CYPRESS_blacklistHosts='adservice.google.com'; npx cypress open
npx cypress open --config blacklistHosts='adservice.google.com'
npx cypress open --config blacklistHosts="['adservice.google.com']"

Yet blacklistHosts does not appear in the "Settings/Configuration" section. I also do not see the requests being intercepted.

Desired behavior:

Works as described in documentation

How to reproduce:

See above

Test code:

I looked into this and found two bugs:

1. Passing --blacklistHosts via the --config option is not actually setting it.
2. When setting blacklistHosts in cypress.json it DOES get set, although it is NOT showing up in the resolved configuration area in the desktop app. However It is actually correctly 503'ing requests. Therefore this is just a visual bug.

For now, hopefully you can set this in your cypress.json. We'll get both of these fixed - there must be something strange that blacklistHosts does that nothing else does because all of these configuration values run through the same logic.

Thanks a lot for your help! I was wondering if my syntax was wrong, since I couldn't find any examples of passing arrays via cli in the docs. Glad it wasn't just me :)
