Disable web security in Cypress just for one test

Question

After reading the Cypress documentation on web security and when to disable it, I've decided I indeed need to do it. Is there a way to disable this just for one particular test/test suite? I'm using version 3.4.1 and this config is being set in cypress.json - therefore it's global for all tests.

Is there a way to disable web security just for one test? Thanks!

Original answer:

Does this work for you?

describe("test the config json", function () {
    it("use web security false here", function () {
      Cypress.config('chromeWebSecurity',false);
      cy.visit("https://www.google.com");
      console.log(Cypress.config('chromeWebSecurity'));
    });

    it("use web security true here", function () {
      Cypress.config('chromeWebSecurity',true);
      cy.visit("https://www.google.com");
      console.log(Cypress.config('chromeWebSecurity'));
    });
  });

The config is changed as you can see from the console log.

See document here https://docs.cypress.io/guides/references/configuration.html#Cypress-config

Updates:

After I saw DurkoMatKo's comment I managed to find an URL to test this 'chromeWebSecurity' option. It did not work as expected. I think changing this config might not work during running the same browser as this is more like a browser feature which will determine when start. In this case what I can think of is only to run Cypress with different configurations.

The cypress doc here shows clear steps to do this. hope this helps.
