Description

The debug log source cypress:server:specs, referred to in multiple examples, does not produce any debug logs.

Core Concepts > Writing and Organizing Tests > Troubleshooting advises:

---

If Cypress does not find the spec files for some reason, you can troubleshoot its logic by opening or running Cypress with
debug logs enabled:

DEBUG=cypress:server:specs npx cypress open
## or
DEBUG=cypress:server:specs npx cypress run

---

Neither of these commands produces debug logs using the current version of Cypress 13.14.2.

Location referring to partially working cypress:server:specs is:

• References > Configuration (Legacy) > Common problems > Test files not found when using spec parameter. This works correctly on Cypress 9.x on Windows (probably also on macOS), but not on Linux. There was a general issue with selective logging on Linux which was not fixed until [email protected].
