Option To Configure/Bypass Final Courtesy Check For Running Server

[tdreid]

What would you like?

As discussed here cypress checks for the sever running at baseUrl. If this check fails it exits. The number of retries is not configurable, nor can the check be bypassed.

• An option to suppress this check (nice to have -- ability to change it a "warning")
• An option to configure the number of retries (nice to have -- retry-until-success).

Why is this needed?

• So that other mechanisms for ensuring that the server is already running during test are not superseded by this non-optional check.

• Avoid introducing dependencies on, e.g. wait-on, start-server-and-test

+1 on this one.

Hey @jennifer-shehane, So basically we have to allow a user to configure the number of tries in the CLI as options and an option to bypass the baseUrl check.
Is this what we are trying to fix?

@ShubhamPalriwala I'm not sure exactly how the team would want to implement these changes, so I don't have a path forward at this time exactly for a change.

Since this issue hasn’t gotten a lot of interest, we’ll close this issue. I think we may have increased the time to retry since this was opened though.
