Hi . I figured out how to do this :)
1.npm run ntlm-proxy
2.node_modules.bin\cypress-ntlm run --browser chrome --spec <spec.js>

Hi @krishvv , I'm glad you figured it out. This is pretty much identical to what I recommended in the README for package.json scripts:

"cypress-ntlm": "npm run ntlm-proxy && cypress-ntlm open && ntlm-proxy-exit"

Two notes:

1. With your two steps, you aren't closing the ntlm-proxy after test execution. Not a big issue since the next time you start the ntlm-proxy it will terminate the old one, but I just think it is more clean to close it afterwards. The command ntlm-proxy-exit is there for this purpose
2. For automated CI use, I would recommend running in headless mode. Currently only electron is supported by Cypress for this, but work is ongoing to support Chrome in headless mode
