Mastering Advanced Cypress.io Test Automation [Part 2/4]: Network Stubbing
With the examples covered in this part, you’ll gain a strong grasp of network stubbing in your Cypress.io test suite and be one step closer to mastering advanced Cypress.io test automation. So, let’s get started!
Network Stubbing
Another challenge in web application testing is dealing with network requests. In some cases, you may want to simulate network responses in your tests. For example, you might want to test how your application handles errors or slow network connections.
The cy.intercept() command is used to intercept specific network requests and provide custom responses. You can pass in the HTTP method, URL, and response object as arguments to the cy.intercept() command. The response object can include a fixture, which is a static JSON file that serves as a mock response.
Let’s take a look at some code examples to see how network stubbing works in Cypress.
