Is there a better way to assert that all intercepted requests are successful in Cypress?

I'm trying to test that all 12 requests involved in creating an object are successful, so far this is the only way I can figure out that works. IS there a better/more efficient/more flexible way that won't break as soon as we add or remove a request?

              cy.intercept('/api/**/**').as('objectCreation');
              $button.click();

              cy.wait('@objectCreation').its('response.statusCode').should('eq', 200);
              cy.wait('@objectCreation').its('response.statusCode').should('eq', 200);
              cy.wait('@objectCreation').its('response.statusCode').should('eq', 200);
              cy.wait('@objectCreation').its('response.statusCode').should('eq', 200);
              cy.wait('@objectCreation').its('response.statusCode').should('eq', 200);
              cy.wait('@objectCreation').its('response.statusCode').should('eq', 200);
              cy.wait('@objectCreation').its('response.statusCode').should('eq', 200);
              cy.wait('@objectCreation').its('response.statusCode').should('eq', 200);
              cy.wait('@objectCreation').its('response.statusCode').should('eq', 200);
              cy.wait('@objectCreation').its('response.statusCode').should('eq', 200);
              cy.wait('@objectCreation').its('response.statusCode').should('eq', 200);
              cy.wait('@objectCreation').its('response.statusCode').should('eq', 200);

I'll like more details about your question:

  • Are the requests identical?

However, to answer your question on how to simplify your shared, code snippet...you could create a variable representing the request creation attempts & keep calling the cy.intercept() method & asserting its response until you hit the specified request creation amount like so:

const reqObjCreationNum = 0; // reqObjCreationNum object creation attempts number

/**
 * @param {number} reqObjCreationNum - number of object creation attempts
 */
const createObject = ({ reqObjCreationNum }) => {
  cy.intercept('/api/**/**').as('objectCreation');

  while (reqObjCreationNum <= 12) {
    cy.wait('@objectCreation')
      .its('response.statusCode')
      .should('eq', 200);

    reqObjCreationNum += 1;
  }
};

createObject({ reqObjCreationNum });

I would suggest the DRY programming concept as a future reading.
