Default spec pattern could be easier to update. #21787

Closed sync-by-unito[bot] closed 1 year ago

It's not obvious where a user should update the spec pattern since we don't provide the default value in the generated cypress configuration file for users. And when incorrectly added, the launchpad show the error but the launch browser instance just shows a blank page which is unexpected.

Another reporter:

Usability note: Consider adding the default spec pattern to cypress.config.js (if not set) when hitting "Update Spec Pattern" right now it just opens the config file but there isn't really much context around where and how I should update my spec pattern. Spec pattern text also doesn't update in the test runner when I do update it without a refresh, however the changes do happen.
