Cypress: Disable creating video on passing tests
Desired behavior:
Currently, running tests headless produces a video file for every test file. However, 99.9% of the time the only video file I am interested in viewing is one in which a test fails. It would be nice to have an option like createVideoOnPassingTest that I could set to false to avoid the time it takes to create and compress the video that will never be watched.

Relevant conversation regarding videos only on failing tests. Let me know if this resolves what you wanted: https://github.com/cypress-io/cypress/issues/2217#issuecomment-410386771

@jennifer-shehane That's exactly what I was looking for! I'm so sorry - I thought I searched well, but I guess I didn't. Thanks for the link :)

Don't worry - this has happened a few times, the docs need improving https://github.com/cypress-io/cypress-documentation/issues/815

@jennifer-shehane if I understand the documentation correctly this only applies to videos for the dashboard. Is it possible to add the same functionality to only add videos to the output folder on fails?

@mattvb91 Yes, this only applies to videos when recording through the Dashboard. Could you open an new issue for this functionality when not recording to the Dashboard?
