In addition to web based e2e tests, I am using Cypress to assert some graphql responses are correct.

However if I just try to run those tests on their own, with the web server not running, then Cypress complains with the following message;

Cypress could not verify that this server is running:

http://localhost:3000

This server has been configured as your baseUrl, and tests will likely fail if it is not running.

Is it possible to run Cypress in a mode that doesn't check this server first?
