Can we change helper configuration options on the fly from a test? I saw the Dynamic configuration settings, gave the below command

npx codeceptjs run --override '{ "helpers": {"Protractor": {"browser": "firefox"}}}'

but when i run at i get the below error

undefined:1
{helpers:
 ^

SyntaxError: Unexpected token h in JSON at position 1

Can someone help me?

That matches the example in the docs (e.g. https://codecept.io/commands/), do you have other config that's claiming to be JSON but isn't? — jonrsharpe, Apr 13 '20 at 17:39
No.. this JSON value i pass seems to be correct. Not sure what is the issue — Niranjani Ravikumar, Apr 13 '20 at 20:01

Looks like you use Windows with CMD tool.

That tool works with strings in double quotes. Don't forget to escape JSON double quotes with \"

npx codeceptjs run --override "{ \"helpers\": {\"Protractor\": {\"browser\": \"firefox\"}}}"

Or you can try shell/linux builder.
