asserting the response of ajax requests

Is this a Feature or Bug?

bug, cant find docs on https://docs.cypress.io/guides/guides/network-requests.html#Testing-Strategies need to know how to assert on responses I get from the server.

Probably its me, but maybe others cant find how as well 😕

Test code:

cy.get('#contactID').type('[e-mail]')
cy.contains('Login').click()
// I have an ajax call here, want to assert on the reponse

[tzookb]

Got it 😃

just needed to use regex in the url

instead of ‘contact.php’ used /contact.php/

In order to assert on the response of an XHR request, you’ll need to setup a route to listen to the request you want to assert on.

I like to alias the route so that I can do some things in between listening and waiting for the response to assert on.

cy.route('GET', '/login').as('getLogin')
cy.get('#contactID').type('[e-mail]')
cy.contains('Login').click()
cy.wait('@getLogin').then(function(xhr){
  // we can now access the low level xhr
  // that contains the request body,
  // response body, status, etc
})

Please note that there is limited support for ‘fetch’ - see this issue if you are using fetch.

I agree, the docs could have better actual examples with the testing strategies - or at least link to them. I suggest you open an issue in our docs
