Cypress:open cant capture snapshot

[araphoenix]

whenever I run percy exec -t 350 -- cypress open I would like to be able to get the snapshots while running the test interactively. Is that possible? For now it only works if I run the command percy exec -t 350 -- cypress run

Thanks for the help!

Hey @araphoenix! This is specifically prevented in the SDK: https://github.com/percy/percy-cypress/blob/master/index.js#L38-L44

You can set enablePercyInteractiveMode in the Cypress config if you want to, but we prevent it because it's almost never the way you would run Percy. You'll have to run the tests and then close the Electron app for the Percy build to be finalized (finalization happens when the command passed to percy exec exits). The other issue is Percy can't be used with TDD -- you will get duplicate snapshot errors since each build had to have uniquely named snapshots.
