Cypress did not catch all XHR requests: No request ever occurred

Current behavior:

if we are calling some XHR request on the end of the test then it will pass, but if we want to catch XHR request on page load it’s not working…

example:

describe('Help Page', () => {
  it('visit /help', () => {
    const USER = Cypress.env('username');
    const PASS = Cypress.env('userpass');
    cy.visit('/');

    cy.server();
    cy.route('POST', '**login').as('auth');

    cy.get('input[name=username]').type(USER);
    cy.get('input[name=password]').type(PASS);
    cy.get('button[type=submit]').click();

    cy.wait('@auth');

I ended up adding a cy.wait(500) since the XHR is too fast for the cy.wait('@postAPI') to catch. 😦
