Cannot pass record key through CYPRESS_RECORD_KEY variable (local dev mode) #820

bug

When working inside this repository and trying to record a run, the record key is not read from the environment variable CYPRESS_RECORD_KEY.

steps to reproduce

1. clone a sample project for example git clone https://github.com/cypress-io/cypress-test-tiny.git /tmp/cypress-test-tiny
2. try running tests in the /tmp/test from the root of this repository AND record it (because we are working against local API without running it, just use fake "foo" and "bar").

CYPRESS_PROJECT_ID=foo npm start -- --run-project /tmp/cypress-test-tiny --record --key bar

Everything is working and the test is running.

3. try passing record key via environment variable CYPRESS_RECORD_KEY (see https://docs.cypress.io/dashboard/overview/projects-dashboard.html#Record-Test-Runs)

CYPRESS_PROJECT_ID=foo CYPRESS_RECORD_KEY=bar DEBUG=cypress:* npm start -- --run-project /tmp/cypress-test-tiny --record

and you get the following error message

You passed the --record flag but did not provide us your Record Key.

You can pass us your Record Key like this:

  cypress run --record --key <record_key>

You can also set the key as an environment variable with the name CYPRESS_RECORD_KEY.

Hmm, weird that this fails in local development mode, but works just fine in compiled binary.
