I'm using Cypress to automate user interaction on a development site. However, - the site is HUGE, so I copied everything except the images.

Now, when making the tests, it takes forever (2 min+) to load a page, since Cypress will wait for the images to render, before it starts doing it's thing.

Can I disable that somehow?

Use mode headless in your browser test, example Chromium: https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src/+/lkgr/headless/README.md – Lucas Carnevalli Aug 24 '20 at 15:21
Good suggestion. But ideally I would like to see what happens (just without the images). – Zeth Aug 24 '20 at 16:03
You will see what is going on, because there will be video recorded ;) – Jonah Aug 25 '20 at 06:48
check your browser settings, example chrome: https://peter.sh/experiments/chromium-command-line-switches/ – Lucas Carnevalli Aug 26 '20 at 15:11
