cy.prompt can now wait for network requests
Blog post from Cypress
Cypress has enhanced its cy.prompt feature to support waiting for network requests, allowing testers to reference defined aliases directly within prompt instructions, thereby streamlining the testing process without exiting the flow. This improvement eliminates the previous need to split test intent across multiple lines when coordinating network activities, thus maintaining readability and coherence in AI-assisted test writing. By defining the intercept and alias with cy.intercept and .as() outside of the cy.prompt block and referencing the alias using the @ prefix, testers can ensure seamless execution. While this update currently handles basic network coordination by waiting for a named intercept, it resolves a significant friction point without altering existing intercept patterns. Cypress encourages feedback to further develop cy.prompt's capabilities, particularly for more complex asynchronous sequences.
