I am working on a TestCafe proof of concept. I have a few tests working in one test environment. I need a way to run the same tests in up to 3 different test environments that have different URLs. Is there a best practice for this scenario?

A solution is to add custom options on the testcafe command-line like for example : --env=uat.

Use minimist to read all custom options that you have added to the TestCafe command-line and export a config object like this:

import * as minimist from 'minimist';

const args = minimist(process.argv.slice(2));

// get the options --env=xxx --user=yyy from the command line
export const config = {
  env: args.env,
  user: args.user,
};

Then import that config object wherever you need it in the test code.

see How do I work with configuration files and environment variables? for more details.
