I want to use my .env variables inside cypress.json file. As an example of usage:

    {
      "env": {
        "HOST": `${process.env.HOST}`
      }
    }

So, what I want is, when I type Cypress.env('HOST') anywhere in Cypress, I want to get the process.env.HOST variable

First of all why not use process.env.HOST inside your spec files. Second if you want to test in different host then what i have been doing is.

1. Create a folder (eg: configFiles)

2. Inside this create json files like (eg: host1.json, host2.json)

3. Inside your json file (in host1.json)

   { "env": { "HOST" : "host1" } }

4. Inside your plugins folder edit index.js

   const fs = require('fs-extra'); const path = require('path');

   function getConfigurationByFile(file) { const pathToConfigFile = path.resolve( 'cypress/configFiles', ${file}.json );

   return fs.readJson(pathToConfigFile); }

   module.exports = (on, config) => { const file = config.env.host || 'host1';

   return getConfigurationByFile(file); };

5. Then while running you can use npm cypress run --env host=host1

Avoid wrapping your env file in env variable. By the way this should do the job with your file:

Cypress.env("env")["HOST"]
