        "viewportWidth": 1440,
        "viewportHeight": 900
    }

    {
    "baseUrl": "https:………../wp-admin/",
    "viewportWidth": 1440,
    "viewportHeight": 900,
    "projectId": "3xvqac",
    "video": false,
    "testFiles": [
      "wpLatest/clean/settingsValidation/**/*",
      "wpLatest/clean/productsValidation/**/*"
    ]
  }

WP authorization in `/support/commands.js`:

    Cypress.Commands.add('login', () => {
      cy.visit('/')
        cy.get('#loginform').within(function() {
          cy.get('#user_login').clear().type('demo', {log:false})
          cy.get('#user_pass').clear().type('Xo0Ln1zhlQ9g', {log:false})
          cy.root().submit()
        })
      cy.url().should('include', '/wp-admin')
    })

WP cookies preserve code in `/support/index.js`:

    Cypress.Cookies.defaults({
        preserve: /wordpress_.*/
    })

    Cypress.on('uncaught:exception', (err, runnable) => {
      return false
    })
