Cypress cy.request function sends the POST request to the server but Cypress responds with TIMEOUT

Current behavior:

Cypress cy.request function sends the POST request to the server but Cypress responds with TIMEOUT. From my app perspective all works fine: the POST call is processed correctly; 204 HTTP success code is sent back.

Doesn’t matter how I change the timeout within the cy.request() function it’s always the same.

CypressError: cy.request() failed trying to load:

http://localhost:81/operations/api/trains/planning-session/new

We attempted to make an http request to this URL but the request failed without a response.

We received this error at the network level:

  > Error: ESOCKETTIMEDOUT

-----------------------------------------------------------

The request we sent was:

Method: POST
URL: http://localhost:81/operations/api/trains/planning-session/new

-----------------------------------------------------------

Common situations why this would fail:
  - you don't have internet access
  - you forgot to run / boot your web server
  - your web server isn't accessible
  - you have weird network configuration settings on your computer

The stack trace for this error is:

Desired behavior:

The POST is send and cypress doesn’t respond with any error message

Steps to reproduce:

I have created following cy.request():

function createTrainsPlanningSession(name, ignoreIfExists = false) {
    const IGNORED_ERROR_MSG = 'Planning session with that name already exists'

    console.debug("Add new planning session with name: " + name)
    cy.request({
        method: 'POST',
        url: '/operations/api/trains/planning-session/new',
        auth: {
            bearer: window.sessionStorage.getItem('auth_token')
        },
        body: {
            newPlanningSession: name,
            basePlanningSession: " "
        },
        timeout: 120000,
        failOnStatusCode: false
    }).then((resp) => {
        if (!(resp.isOkStatusCode || (ignoreIfExists && resp.body === IGNORED_ERROR_MSG))) {
            const EXCEPTION_MSG = 'Exception when creating planning session'
            console.error(EXCEPTION_MSG + ':\n' + JSON.stringify(resp))
            throw new Error(EXCEPTION_MSG + '.\nCode: ' + JSON.stringify(resp.status) + '\nMessage:' + JSON.stringify(resp.body))
        }
    })

Then I am calling the function like so:

describe('TA-OPL-01: Planning Sessions: Trains', function () {
    const PATH_PLANNING_TRAINS = '/operations/#/menu/planning/trains';

    before(function () {
        cy.login()
    })

    beforeEach(function () {
        cy.setUpAuth()
    })

    it('TA-OPL-01-01: Check Drag and Drop', function () {
        const PLANNING_SESSION_NAME = 'TEST_SESSION15'

        createTrainsPlanningSession(PLANNING_SESSION_NAME, true)

        cy.visit(PATH_PLANNING_TRAINS + "/list")
        cy.waitForLoad()
    })
})

OK seems I have found a solution and it’s provided by Cypress:) There is an option in configuration file: “responseTimeout”. Default value is set to 30000. I have change it to 60000 and works like a charm. Closing the issue.

configuration responseTimeout where is it?
