Using cypress.env.json secrets with act

[9j0hn50n]

Hi, I have an uncommitted cypress.env.json file that contains secrets used as part of my Cypress e2e tests.

These are referenced in my GitHub workflow for usage in CI.

When I run act, I get a failure because the mentioned Cypress secrets can't be found.

Do I pass in cypress.env.json using the --secret-file flag? If so, can I pass multiple files as I'm already using --secret-file .env.

But, I don't think this will work as the readme says the format should be the same as a .env file.

If I cant pass cypress.env.json in how do I go about using my Cypress secrets as part of act?

Many thanks!

If you use act 0.2.45 (1. May 2023) or a build from master. You can rename cypress.env.json to cypress.env.yml and use it as a yml (most json is also valid yaml) secret file.

can I pass multiple files

No, this is not implemented in act.
You would still need to merge both secret files into one format if you need both.
