How to check all links in cypress without stopping in case of an error

So basicly I have to test many many links on many many sites so I want to write a quite general code. In this case its just checking in the main section on purpose.

it('check all links in main', () => {

    cy.visit('/')
    cy.get("main").within(() => {
        cy.get("a").each(page => {
            cy.request(page.prop('href'))
        })
    })
});

This is checking all links but only as long as there are no errors. I want it to run through the whole page and just log out for every link if it works or not. Its not supposed to stop after the first error.

It looks like you are looking for the failOnStatusCode option

cy.get("a").each(page => {
  const link = page.prop('href')
  cy.request({
    url: link,
    failOnStatusCode: false  // allow good and bad response to pass into then
  }).then(response => {
    Cypress.log({
      name: link,
      message: response.status
    })
  })
})

Try putting your request in a .then()instance.

it('check all links in main', () => {

    cy.visit('/')
    cy.get("main").within(() => {
        cy.get("a").each(a => {
           cy.get(a).then((page) => {
           cy.request(page.prop('href'), {failOnStatusCode: false})
           cy.request({url: page.prop('href'), failOnStatusCode:false, })
           })
        })
    })
})
