node.js - How can I ignore the actual dotenv (.env) file while running in jenkins

Question

In cypress how can I ignore the dotenv (.env) file while running in jenkins, as jenkins run on actual environment variables. Now I am getting No such file or directory open/student-proj/.env How can I check if it is running in jenkins then use actual env variables else use .env ?

plugins/index.js

const configEnv = require('dotenv').config();
const cucumber = require('cypress-cucumber-preprocessor').default;

module.exports = (on, config) => {
  on('file:preprocessor', cucumber());

  if (configEnv.error) {
    throw configEnv.error;
  }
  const env = { ...config.env, ...configEnv.parsed };
  
  const envData = { ...config, env };
  return envData;

}

why not just use a jenkins env variable specific in your code e.g. JOB_NAME ... if the value returns null... that means its not running on jenkins
