Not able to use alias across tests in Cypress - cypress

Question

I am trying to create a framework for API tests using cypress and I am facing an issue accessing the data between tests using an alias. Is there something that I am missing?
custom.js
Cypress.Commands.add('getResource', function (uri) {
cy.request({
url: uri,
method: 'GET'
}).then(function (response) {
return cy.wrap(response);
});
});
test.js
exports.__esModule = true;
context('requests', function () {
it('validate get call response', function () {
let re = cy.getResource('https://reqres.in/api/users?page=2','resp')
re.then(function (response) {
cy.wrap(response.body).as('respbody');
cy.wrap(response.status).as('respstatus');
//cy.log(JSON.stringify(response.body));
});
});
it('Tests test', function () {
cy.wait('#respbody').then((body) => {
console.log(JSON.stringify(body));
});
});
});
cypress version - 8.2.0

By design cypress cleans up aliases after each test. So you can do something like this cypress recipe
Your getResource custom command is taking just one parameter, hence we are passing just one papameter.
exports.__esModule = true;
let responseBody;
let responseStatus;
context('requests', () => {
before(() => {
cy.getResource('https://reqres.in/api/users?page=2')
.then(function(response) {
responseBody = response.body
responseStatus = response.status
})
})
beforeEach(() => {
cy.wrap(responseBody).as('responseBody')
cy.wrap(responseStatus).as('responseStatus')
})
it('Get Response status', function() {
cy.wait('#responseStatus').then((responseStatus) => {
console.log(responseStatus)
})
})
it('Get Response Body', function() {
cy.wait('#responseBody').then((responseBody) => {
console.log(JSON.stringify(responseBody))
})
})
})
