This will display an npm tab in the left side bar, and a npm panel underneath the Project panel.

lint - executes code checks using ESLint.

cypress:ui - executes the UI version of Cypress (mainly used to develop and prove test scripts).

cypress:cmd - executes the command line version of Cypress (used for full test runs).

Setting test defaults - cypress.json

The cypress.json file is used to specify test default values.

baseUrl - This is the default url used in commands such as cy.visit('/');

env - Contains test specific default values, such as usernames and passwords, and alternative urls.

Other entries specify the paths to use for cypress files, and items such as timeouts. Further information can be found at http://Cypress.io
