ProjectId passed via --config flag pulls to configuration settings in Test Runner but is not used for --record

[CypressCecelia]

Current behavior:

When running cypress open --config projectId=<PROJECT ID>, the passed project Id is pulled in and displayed in the Project Settings in the Test Runner, overwriting the value in the configuration file.

However, when running cypress run --record --config projectId=<PROJECT ID> --key <KEY>, the passed projectId in the configuration file is NOT overwritten, and the test does not run due to incorrect key.

Desired behavior:

ProjectId is not a documented option to the --config/-c flag, but behavior should be consistent on whether it is accepted or not.

Test code to reproduce

Run cypress open --config projectId=<OTHER PROJECT ID> with any value other than what is in the configuration file. The passed value will appear in the Test Runner settings under Project Id.

To recreate the recording issue, run cypress run --record --config projectId=<OTHER PROJECT ID> key <KEY FOR OTHER PROJECT ID> and an error will output that does not match with the project Id in the configuration file.

Current Workaround

Just wanted to note that the current workaround for this is to pass a different --config-file containing the projectId you want to pass for recording.

CYPRESS_PROJECT_ID=new-project-id can be used to override the projectId
