I'm intercepting an API using cy.intercept(), and it appears that this API is being called two times so it gets intercepted two times, with different responses. I want to access the last intercepted one only. how can I do that?
cy.intercept({
url: `${Cypress.config().apiUrl}/ticket`,
method: 'GET',
}).as('assignedTicketAPI')
There was a recent question here How to match intercept on response, which is about tackling multiple requests on the same intercept.
You can wait twice on the same intercept alias, provided the route matching parameters are the same.
cy.wait('#assignedTicketAPI')
cy.wait('#assignedTicketAPI').then(interception => {...
It's also possible to count requests in the intercept and assign a unique alias to the 2nd one caught - Aliasing individual requests
let intercepted = 0
cy.intercept({
url: `${Cypress.config().apiUrl}/ticket`,
method: 'GET',
}, (req) => {
intercepted = intercepted + 1
if (intercepted === 2) {
req.alias = 'assignedTicketAPI2'
}
})
cy.wait('#assignedTicketAPI2').then(interception => {...

I am implementing cypress tests in our Angular application and have a problem waiting for a request to finish. I am guessing it has to do with the status of the Request being 204 instead of 200.
This is the function/command I am calling in my test:
export function logout() {
cy.intercept('/api/security/logout').as('logoutRequest');
cy.getCookie('SESSION').then((cookie) => {
if (cookie != null) {
cy.request(
{
method: 'POST',
url: '/api/security/logout',
}
);
}
});
cy.wait('#logoutRequest');
}
My problem is, that the route /api/security/logout is not recognized as alias #logoutRequest and therefore the wait always timeouts. Even though there is a vaild request. As you can see here in the test protocol:
I have tried modifing the route with * or ** but without success. I would be very glad if you could help me out.
You can't use cy.intercept() to catch cy.request().
cy.intercept(), cy.server(), and cy.route()
cy.request() sends requests to actual endpoints, bypassing those defined using cy.route() or cy.intercept()
Just chain .then() off the request to handle the reply
cy.request({method: 'POST', url: '/api/security/logout', failOnStatusCode: false})
.then(response => {
expect(response.status).to.eq(200)
})
In my app after login in from a clean state, there are a series of sync queries that are being fired to make sure that the local data is updated. There is a loading screen while this is happening. I just need to cypress to wait for all these calls to finish before performing the test.
cy.intercept() is identifying the call, but cy.wait() only waits for the first one to be finished.
Is there a way to create the alias dynamilcally or have the application wait for the spinner to disapper?
describe('Navigation', function () {
beforeEach(function () {
// Programmatically login via Amazon Cognito API
cy.intercept('POST', '**/graphql').as('dataStore');
cy.loginByCognitoApi(Cypress.env('cognito_username'), Cypress.env('cognito_password'));
cy.wait(['#dataStore']);
});
it('shows logged in', function () {
cy.get('[data-test=logo]').should('be.visible');
});
You can repeat wait on a single intercept, so count up the number of orange dataStore tags (looks like 11) and wait that amount of times
cy.intercept('POST', '**/graphql').as('dataStore');
cy.loginByCognitoApi(Cypress.env('cognito_username'), Cypress.env('cognito_password'));
Cypress._.times(11, () => {
cy.wait('#dataStore')
})
Or it might be 10 - looking at the route defn. In any case, experiment. The app should be consistent in the calls it makes.
I had a similar case. What I do is store an array of objects in a different file and each object represents a specific test scenario. That way you can iterate through your test cases an assign an alias dynamically.
So you could do something like this:
beforeEach(function () {
yourArray.forEach((testcase) => {
cy.intercept('POST', '**/graphql').as(`${testcase.testname}datastore`);
cy.loginByCognitoApi(Cypress.env('cognito_username'),
Cypress.env('cognito_password'));
cy.wait(`#${testcase.testname}datastore`);
}
});
If the number of requests aren't consistent, something I've done is the following (I've since put this in a command to use in multiple places):
cy.intercept('POST', '**/graphql').as('dataStore');
cy.loginByCognitoApi(Cypress.env('cognito_username'),Cypress.env('cognito_password'));
cy.get('#dataStore.all').then(xhrs => cy.wait(Array(xhrs.length).fill('#dataStore')));
Doing a wait on the alias with "all" returns all of the calls made to aliased route that Cypress has seen since the alias was made.
#user16695029 is a great solution.
If you run into the issue of API calls not being predictable (kicked off by a timer async etc), then keeping track of API call count might be useful:
at the start of your test code
let responseCounter = 0;
cy.intercept({ method: 'POST', url: '/save', middleware: true }, req => {
req.on('response', (res) => {
responseCounter++;
})
}).as('save')
then later
let expectedSaveCount = 12;
Cypress._.times(expectedSaveCount - responseCounter, () => {
cy.wait('#save')
})
cy.get('#save.all').should('have.length', expectedSaveCount)
Background
I use 3 back-end servers to provide fault tolerance for one of my online SaaS application. All important API calls, such as getting user data, contact all 3 servers and use value of first successfully resolved response, if any.
export function getSuccessValueOrThrow$<T>(
observables$: Observable<T>[],
tryUntilMillies = 30000,
): Observable<T> {
return race(
...observables$.map(observable$ => {
return observable$.pipe(
timeout(tryUntilMillies),
catchError(err => {
return of(err).pipe(delay(5000), mergeMap(_err => throwError(_err)));
}),
);
})
);
}
getSuccessValueOrThrow$ get called as following:
const shuffledApiDomainList = ['server1-domain', 'server2-domain', 'server3-domain';
const sessionInfo = await RequestUtils.getSuccessValueOrThrow(
...(shuffledApiDomainList.map(shuffledDomain => this.http.get<SessionDetails>(`${shuffledDomain}/file/converter/comm/session/info`))),
).toPromise();
Note: if one request resolve faster than others, usually the case, race rxjs function will cancel the other two requests. On Chrome dev network tab it will look like bellow where first request sent out was cancelled due to being too slow.
Question:
I use /file/converter/comm/session/info (lets call it Endpoint 1) to get some data related to a user. This request dispatched to all 3 back-end servers. If one resolve, then remaining 2 request will be cancelled, i.e. they will return null.
On my Cypress E2E test I have
cy.route('GET', '/file/converter/comm/session/info').as('getSessionInfo');
cy.visit('https://www.ps2pdf.com/compress-mp4');
cy.wait('#getSessionInfo').its('status').should('eq', 200)
This sometimes fails if the since getSessionInfo alias was hooked on to a request that ultimately get cancelled by getSuccessValueOrThrow$ because it wasn't the request that succeeded.Bellow image shows how 1 out of 3 request aliased with getSessionInfo succeeded but the test failed since the first request failed.
In Cypress, how do I wait for a successful i.e. status = 200 request?
Approach 1
Use .should() callback and repeat the cy.wait call if status was not 200:
function waitFor200(routeAlias, retries = 2) {
cy.wait(routeAlias).then(xhr => {
if (xhr.status === 200) return // OK
else if (retries > 0) waitFor200(routeAlias, retries - 1); // wait for the next response
else throw "All requests returned non-200 response";
})
}
// Usage example.
// Note that no assertions are chained here,
// the check has been performed inside this function already.
waitFor200('#getSessionInfo');
// Proceed with your test
cy.get('button').click(); // ...
Approach 2
Revise what it is that you want to test in the first place.
Chances are - there is something on the page that tells the user about a successful operation. E.g. show/hide a spinner or a progress bar, or just that the page content is updated to show new data fetched from the backend.
So in this approach you would remove cy.wait() altogether, and focus on what the user sees on the page - do some assertions on the actual page content.
cy.wait() yields an object containing the HTTP request and response properties of the XHR. The error you're getting is because you're looking for property status in the XHR object, but it is a property of the Response Object. You first have to get to the Response Object:
cy.wait('#getSessionInfo').should(xhr => {
expect(xhr.response).to.have.property('status', 200);
});
Edit: Since our backend uses graphql, all calls use the single /graphql endpoint. So I had to come up with a solution to differentiate each call.
I did that by using the onResponse() method of cy.route() and accumulating the data in Cypress environment object:
cy.route({
method: 'GET',
url: '/file/converter/comm/session/info',
onResponse(xhr) {
if (xhr.status === 200) {
Cypress.env('sessionInfo200') = xhr;
}
}
})
You can then use it like this:
cy.wrap(Cypress.env()).should('have.property', 'sessionInfo200');
I wait like this:
const isOk = cy.wait("#getSessionInfo").then((xhr) => {
return (xhr.status === 200);
});
In Cypress, it is well-documented that you can alias specific network requests, which you can then "wait" on. This is especially helpful if you want to do something in Cypress after a specific network request has fired and finished.
Example below from Cypress documentation:
cy.server()
cy.route('POST', '**/users').as('postUser') // ALIASING OCCURS HERE
cy.visit('/users')
cy.get('#first-name').type('Julius{enter}')
cy.wait('#postUser')
However, since I'm using GraphQL in my app, aliasing no longer becomes a straightforward affair. This is because all GraphQL queries share one endpoint /graphql.
Despite it not being possible to differentiate between different graphQL queries using the url endpoint alone, it is possible to differentiate graphQL queries using operationName (refer to following image).
Having dug through the documentation, there doesn't appear to be a way to alias graphQL endpoints using operationName from the request body. I'm also returning the operationName (yellow arrow) as a custom property in my response header; however, I haven't managed to find a way to use it to alias specific graphQL queries either.
FAILED METHOD 1: This method attempts to use the purple arrow shown in image.
cy.server();
cy.route({
method: 'POST',
url: '/graphql',
onResponse(reqObj) {
if (reqObj.request.body.operationName === 'editIpo') {
cy.wrap('editIpo').as('graphqlEditIpo');
}
},
});
cy.wait('#graphqlEditIpo');
This method doesn't work since the graphqlEditIpo alias is registered at runtime and as such, the error I receive is as follows.
CypressError: cy.wait() could not find a registered alias for: '#graphqlEditIpo'. Available aliases are: 'ipoInitial, graphql'.
FAILED METHOD 2: This method attempts to use the yellow arrow shown in image.
cy.server();
cy.route({
method: 'POST',
url: '/graphql',
headers: {
'operation-name': 'editIpo',
},
}).as('graphql');
cy.wait('graphql');
This method doesn't work because the headers property in the options object for cy.route is actually meant to accept response headers for stubbed routes per the docs. Here, I'm trying to use it to identify my specific graphQL query, which obviously won't work.
Which leads me to my question: How can I alias specific graphQL queries/mutations in Cypress? Have I missed something?
The intercept API introduced in 6.0.0 supports this via the request handler function. I used it in my code like so:
cy.intercept('POST', '/graphql', req => {
if (req.body.operationName === 'queryName') {
req.alias = 'queryName';
} else if (req.body.operationName === 'mutationName') {
req.alias = 'mutationName';
} else if (...) {
...
}
});
Where queryName and mutationName are the names of your GQL operations. You can add an additional condition for each request that you would like to alias. You can then wait for them like so:
// Wait on single request
cy.wait('#mutationName');
// Wait on multiple requests.
// Useful if several requests are fired at once, for example on page load.
cy.wait(['#queryName, #mutationName',...]);
The docs have a similar example here: https://docs.cypress.io/api/commands/intercept.html#Aliasing-individual-requests.
This works for me!
Cypress.Commands.add('waitForGraph', operationName => {
const GRAPH_URL = '/api/v2/graph/';
cy.route('POST', GRAPH_URL).as("graphqlRequest");
//This will capture every request
cy.wait('#graphqlRequest').then(({ request }) => {
// If the captured request doesn't match the operation name of your query
// it will wait again for the next one until it gets matched.
if (request.body.operationName !== operationName) {
return cy.waitForGraph(operationName)
}
})
})
Just remember to write your queries with unique names as posible, because the operation name relies on it.
If 'waiting' and not 'aliasing' in itself is the main purpose, the easiest way to do this, as I've encountered thus far, is by aliasing the general graphql requests and then making a recursive function call to 'wait' targeting the newly created alias until you find the specific graphql operation you were looking for.
e.g.
Cypress.Commands.add('waitFor', operationName => {
cy.wait('#graphqlRequest').then(({ request }) => {
if (request.body.operationName !== operationName) {
return cy.waitFor(operationName)
}
})
})
This of course have its caveats and may or may not work in your context. But it works for us.
I hope Cypress enables this in a less hacky way in the future.
PS. I want to give credit to where I got the inspiration to this from, but it seemt to be lost in cyberspace.
Since I was having the same issue and I did not find a real solution for this problem I combined different options and created a workaround that solves my problem. Hopefully this can help someone else too.
I do not really 'wait' for the request to be happen but I catch them all, based on **/graphql url and match the operationName in the request. On a match a function will be executed with the data as parameter. In this function the tests can be defined.
graphQLResponse.js
export const onGraphQLResponse = (resolvers, args) => {
resolvers.forEach((n) => {
const operationName = Object.keys(n).shift();
const nextFn = n[operationName];
if (args.request.body.operationName === operationName) {
handleGraphQLResponse(nextFn)(args.response)(operationName);
}
});
};
const handleGraphQLResponse = (next) => {
return (response) => {
const responseBody = Cypress._.get(response, "body");
return async (alias) => {
await Cypress.Blob.blobToBase64String(responseBody)
.then((blobResponse) => atob(blobResponse))
.then((jsonString) => JSON.parse(jsonString))
.then((jsonResponse) => {
Cypress.log({
name: "wait blob",
displayName: `Wait ${alias}`,
consoleProps: () => {
return jsonResponse.data;
}
}).end();
return jsonResponse.data;
})
.then((data) => {
next(data);
});
};
};
};
In a test file
Bind an array with objects where the key is the operationName and the value is the resolve function.
import { onGraphQLResponse } from "./util/graphQLResponse";
describe("Foo and Bar", function() {
it("Should be able to test GraphQL response data", () => {
cy.server();
cy.route({
method: "POST",
url: "**/graphql",
onResponse: onGraphQLResponse.bind(null, [
{"some operationName": testResponse},
{"some other operationName": testOtherResponse}
])
}).as("graphql");
cy.visit("");
function testResponse(result) {
const foo = result.foo;
expect(foo.label).to.equal("Foo label");
}
function testOtherResponse(result) {
const bar = result.bar;
expect(bar.label).to.equal("Bar label");
}
});
}

Used the blob command from glebbahmutov.com
This is what you're looking for (New in Cypress 5.6.0):
cy.route2('POST', '/graphql', (req) => {
if (req.body.includes('operationName')) {
req.alias = 'gqlMutation'
}
})
// assert that a matching request has been made
cy.wait('#gqlMutation')
Documentation:
https://docs.cypress.io/api/commands/route2.html#Waiting-on-a-request
I hope that this helps!
I used some of these code examples but had to change it slightly to add the onRequest param to the cy.route and also add the date.Now (could add any auto incrementer, open to other solutions on this) to allow multiple calls to the same GraphQL operation name in the same test. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction!
Cypress.Commands.add('waitForGraph', (operationName) => {
const now = Date.now()
let operationNameFromRequest
cy.route({
method: 'POST',
url: '**graphql',
onRequest: (xhr) => {
operationNameFromRequest = xhr.request.body.operationName
},
}).as(`graphqlRequest${now}`)
//This will capture every request
cy.wait(`#graphqlRequest${now}`).then(({ xhr }) => {
// If the captured request doesn't match the operation name of your query
// it will wait again for the next one until it gets matched.
if (operationNameFromRequest !== operationName) {
return cy.waitForGraph(operationName)
}
})
})
to use:
cy.waitForGraph('QueryAllOrganizations').then((xhr) => { ...
This is how I managed to differentiate each GraphQL request. We use cypress-cucumber-preprocessor so we have a common.js file in /cypress/integration/common/ where we can call a before and beforeEach hook which are called before any feature file.
I tried the solutions here, but couldn't come up with something stable since, in our application, many GraphQL requests are triggered at the same time for some actions.
I ended up storing every GraphQL requests in a global object called graphql_accumulator with a timestamp for each occurence.
It was then easier to manage individual request with cypress command should.
common.js:
beforeEach(() => {
for (const query in graphql_accumulator) {
delete graphql_accumulator[query];
}
cy.server();
cy.route({
method: 'POST',
url: '**/graphql',
onResponse(xhr) {
const queryName = xhr.requestBody.get('query').trim().split(/[({ ]/)[1];
if (!(queryName in graphql_accumulator)) graphql_accumulator[queryName] = [];
graphql_accumulator[queryName].push({timeStamp: nowStamp('HHmmssSS'), data: xhr.responseBody.data})
}
});
});
I have to extract the queryName from the FormData since we don't have (yet) the key operationName in the request header, but this would be where you would use this key.
commands.js
Cypress.Commands.add('waitGraphQL', {prevSubject:false}, (queryName) => {
Cypress.log({
displayName: 'wait gql',
consoleProps() {
return {
'graphQL Accumulator': graphql_accumulator
}
}
});
const timeMark = nowStamp('HHmmssSS');
cy.wrap(graphql_accumulator, {log:false}).should('have.property', queryName)
.and("satisfy", responses => responses.some(response => response['timeStamp'] >= timeMark));
});
It's also important to allow cypress to manage GraphQL requests by adding these settings in /cypress/support/index.js:
Cypress.on('window:before:load', win => {
// unfilters incoming GraphQL requests in cypress so we can see them in the UI
// and track them with cy.server; cy.route
win.fetch = null;
win.Blob = null; // Avoid Blob format for GraphQL responses
});
I use it like this:
cy.waitGraphQL('QueryChannelConfigs');
cy.get(button_edit_market).click();
cy.waitGraphQL will wait for the latest target request, the one that will be stored after the call.
Hope this helps.
Somewhere else this method was suggested.
Btw it all becomes a bit easier once you migrate to Cypress v5.x and make use of the new route (route2) method.
Our use case involved multiple GraphQL calls on one page. We had to use a modified version of the responses from above:
Cypress.Commands.add('createGql', operation => {
cy.route({
method: 'POST',
url: '**/graphql',
}).as(operation);
});
Cypress.Commands.add('waitForGql', (operation, nextOperation) => {
cy.wait(`#${operation}`).then(({ request }) => {
if (request.body.operationName !== operation) {
return cy.waitForGql(operation);
}
cy.route({
method: 'POST',
url: '**/graphql',
}).as(nextOperation || 'gqlRequest');
});
});
The issue is that ALL GraphQL requests share the same URL, so once you create a cy.route() for one GraphQL query, Cypress will match all the following GraphQL queries to that. After it matches, we set cy.route() to just a default label of gqlRequest or the next query.
Our test:
cy.get(someSelector)
.should('be.visible')
.type(someText)
.createGql('gqlOperation1')
.waitForGql('gqlOperation1', 'gqlOperation2') // Create next cy.route() for the next query, or it won't match
.get(someSelector2)
.should('be.visible')
.click();
cy.waitForGql('gqlOperation2')
.get(someSelector3)
.should('be.visible')
.click();
I'm using AngularJS in a simple prototype app that uses Domino server on the back end.
When I do a seemingly simple call like this:
$http({ url: $scope.hrEventsPath,
method : "GET",
params : { 'readform' : '',
'eventid' : $scope.queryStringPairs.eventid,
'userid' : $scope.queryStringPairs.userid,
'login' : $scope.queryStringPairs.login } }).
success(function(data, status) {
// happy stuff
}).
error(function(data, status) {
// error handling stuff
});
It seems that Angular puts all the params in alphabetical order when the call is made.
Therefore, the readform parameter is not the first parameter, eventid is, and the Domino server chokes. (This happens whether or not 'readform' has a value)
Regardless of Domino and its configuration, is there a way to for a sort the order in Angularm or should one use another approach?
Thanks in advance.
Use an array of single objects, then the object won't have a chance to switch itself around.
[ {}, {}, {} ]
