Indicate when XHR's match aliases multiple times, and correlate those to waits

[brian-mann]

Current behavior:

There's not an easy to know or correlate multiple matched XHR aliases to knowing how to wait for them.

Here's an example screenshot:

The problem is that the user is trying to wait on the 2nd XHR. But since they've only added a single cy.wait("@getTable") Cypress only waited on the first XHR to resolve.

Desired behavior:

When an XHR matches an alias multiple times we should add a number indicator next to it...

(XHR) /getTable @getTable
(XHR) /getTable @getTable.2
(XHR) /getTable @getTable.3

So then when adding code like:

cy
.wait("@getTable")
.wait("@getTable")
.wait("@getTable")

The command log would actually look like:

WAIT @getTable
WAIT @getTable.2
WAIT @getTable.3

Any news on this one? There's a circumstance where I need to actually check if the same XHR gets requested N times, so I'm encountering this issue.

Hi @brian-mann, any progress with this issue?

@bsmithEG There actually is an undocumented way to check the number of times an XHR was responsed to using .all on the alias.

cy.wait('@getRuns')
cy.tick(10000)
// should have done 2 request responses, and definitely not 3
cy.get('@getRuns.all').should('have.length', 2)
