Cypress.spec is incorrect when running all specs, should contain actual current spec

[meinaart]

Current behavior:

The contents of Cypress.spec are incorrect when I click on "Run all specs".

It now contains:

{
  absolute: "__all",
  name: "All Specs",
  relative: "__all"
}

I use Cypress.spec in my cypress-plugin-snapshots plugin to determine snapshot filename. I found a very hard work around by using a preprocessor to store the latest processed file. But this breaks other stuff. It would be very useful if Cypress.spec would contain the actual current test.

Desired behavior:

It should contain the details of the spec that is running. Even when you clicked on "Run all specs".

For example:

{
  name: 'filter.spec.js',
  relative: 'cypress/integration/filter.spec.js',
  absolute: '/Users/janelane/Dev/web-app/cypress/integration/filter.spec.js',
}

Steps to reproduce: (app code and test code)

Put code below in a Spec and see contents from Cypress.spec when running with "Run all tests" and by running test directly.

console.log(Cypress.spec);

Versions

All versions that have Cypress.spec.

I believe implementing this would require this feature to be addressed: #1586

I think you are right. Is there an ETA?
