How do you read environment-specific values in Cypress?

1Cypress.env('API_URL')
2cy.env.get('API_URL')
3process.env.API_URL in the spec

Show the answer

Correct answer: Cypress.env('API_URL')

Explanation

Env values come from config, cypress.env.json, CYPRESS_ variables or --env. Specs run in the browser, so process.env isn't available there.
