javascript - How to access the value of baseURL in Cypress

Question

I'm just starting to learn JavaScript and have been using Cypress to automate some regression tests. The test I writing currently is meant to verify link's text and href in a header and footer.

The issue I am having is that these tests need to be run across various environments and I cannot seem to access the baseUrl property set in the cypress.json in order to set the domain in my assertion.

In the script that follows it is the line cy.get("a").should("have.attr", "href", baseUrl + footerLink.link):

    it.only("translates the content info section", () => {
      cy.wrap(orbitData).each(service => {
        cy.visit(service.name);
        cy.get("#orb-contentinfo > div > ul > li").each(($li, index) => {
          let footerLink = service.links[index]
          cy.wrap($li).should("have.text", footerLink.linkText)
          .within(($li) => {
            cy.get("a").should("have.attr", "href", baseUrl + footerLink.link)
          });
        });
      });
    });

You can use the Cypress.config() command.

To get baseUrl value use Cypress.config().baseUrl.
