    There are a few ways to send environment variables to Cypress when using GitHub Actions. One way is to use the “env” key in the GitHub Actions workflow file. This allows you to define environment variables and their values, which will then be available to Cypress when it runs.

    Here is an example of how you can set environment variables in a GitHub Actions workflow file:

    name: Cypress Test
    on: [push]
    jobs:
      cypress:
        runs-on: ubuntu-latest
        steps:
        - name: Checkout code
          uses: actions/checkout@v2
        - name: Set environment variables
          env:
            BASE_URL: https://example.com
            API_TOKEN: abcdefg
        - name: Run Cypress tests
          uses: cypress-io/github-action@v2
          with:
            start: npm run cy:run
    

    In this example, the environment variables “BASE_URL” and “API_TOKEN” are defined and set to specific values. These variables can then be accessed by Cypress in the test scripts.

    Another way to set the environment variables is to use the secrets feature in GitHub Actions. This allows you to set sensitive information such as tokens and passwords as environment variables.

    name: Cypress Test
    on: [push]
    jobs:
      cypress:
        runs-on: ubuntu-latest
        steps:
        - name: Checkout code
          uses: actions/checkout@v2
        - name: Set environment variables
          env:
            BASE_URL: https://example.com
            API_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.API_TOKEN }}
        - name: Run Cypress tests
          uses: cypress-io/github-action@v2
          with:
            start: npm run cy:run
    

    Here in this example, the API_TOKEN is defined as a secret which can be accessed by Cypress in the test script.

    It is important to note that the secrets should be added to the GitHub repository settings and its names should match with the env variables defined in the action file.

    It is also important to keep in mind that Cypress does not automatically reload the environment variables when they are changed. You will need to manually restart the Cypress test runner for changes to take effect.
