Debug filter DEBUG=cypress:server:browsers:electron not working

[roggerfe]

Current behavior:

I am not being able to filter debugs message using cypress run command

Desired behavior:

I should be able to filter debug messages as explained here in the docs: https://docs.cypress.io/guides/guides/debugging.html#Print-DEBUG-logs

Test code to reproduce

To reproduce this issue, you can simply start a new cypress project:

npm i --save cypress
./node_modules/.bin/cypress open

If you run
DEBUG=cypress* node_modules/.bin/cypress run
all debugs are printed in the console

if you run
DEBUG=cypress:server:browsers:electron node_modules/.bin/cypress run
No debug message is printed

Versions

Cypress version: 3.8.1
Operating System: Linux Mint

Closing as duplicate of #5051 which I will reopen. I'm not able to reproduce this though so it must be something specific to the environment.
