Cypress – How can I run test files in order

I have a particular case where I launch multiple instances of an app, rather than using fixtures or test data, I simply integrate user feedback as Cypress tests from login on forwards.

In any case, I used the specPattern configuration property in cypress.json to set the spec file run order:

{
  "baseUrl": "http://localhost:5000",
  "specPattern": [
    "login/*.js",
    "leads/new-lead.spec.js",
    "leads/leads-list.spec.js",
    "leads/lead-detail.spec.js",
    "leads/lead-modify.spec.js",
    //...
  ]
}

No file numbering needed 😀

This configuration property was added in version 10, see also:
