Pass value for command-prefix the output resultsUrl doesn't get set

[fwyattblake]

When I set the input parameter: command-prefix the output resultsUrl is not set

example

- name: Cypress run
        id: cypress
        uses: cypress-io/github-action@v6
        with:
          record: true
          command-prefix: 'percy exec -- npx'
          spec: ${{ inputs.specPattern }}
          config:  baseUrl=${{inputs.baseUrl}}
          env: percy=true,degug=${{ inputs.debug }},testName=${{ inputs.testName }}
          tag: ${{ inputs.testName }}
        env:
          CYPRESS_RECORD_KEY: ${{ inputs.cypress_record_key }}
          CYPRESS_PROJECT_ID: ${{ inputs.cypress_project_id }}
          GITHUB_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}
          PERCY_TOKEN: ${{ inputs.percy_token }}

      - name: Print Cypress Cloud URL
        if: always()
        run: |
          echo See results at ${{ steps.cypress.outputs.resultsUrl }}

output

Recorded Run: https://cloud.cypress.io/projects/XXXXXX/runs/87 

[percy] Finalized build #22: https://percy.io/xxxxx/web/xxxxxxxx-73b3439a/builds/38645566'
[percy] Build's CLI and CI logs sent successfully. Please share this log ID with Percy team in case of any issues - 38645566_build_xxxxxxx

resultURL is blank.

If I remove the command-prefix, the results will be set.

I just saw this in the documentation: https://github.com/cypress-io/github-action?tab=readme-ov-file#outputs

This action sets a GitHub step output resultsUrl if the run was recorded on [Cypress Cloud](https://on.cypress.io/cloud-introduction) using the action parameter setting record: true (see [Record test results on Cypress Cloud](https://github.com/cypress-io/github-action?tab=readme-ov-file#record-test-results-on-cypress-cloud)). Note that using a [Custom test command](https://github.com/cypress-io/github-action?tab=readme-ov-file#custom-test-command) with the command parameter overrides the record parameter and in this case no resultsUrl step output is saved.

So this isn't a bug

This is an undocumented restriction of using the command-prefix option. It's similar to the one for the command option which you pointed out.

resultsUrl is only returned when Cypress is run using the Cypress Module API which is by-passed when command-prefix is used.

The Percy Cypress documentation specifies using the command line to run Percy and Cypress. This does not allow running Cypress using the Cypress Module API and therefore resultsUrl is not available:

npx percy exec -- cypress run

This restriction should be added to the Outputs documentation.

• I submitted PR docs: add resultsurl restriction for command-prefix #1378 to update the documentation. This issue will get automatically closed when the documentation change is published
