To test HTTP requests in a Cypress test for an Angular application, we can use the cy.request()
command to make an HTTP request and then use assertions to verify the response.
Here’s an example:
describe('HTTP request test', () => {
it('should make an HTTP request and validate the response', () => {
// Make an HTTP request
cy.request('https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/posts/1').then((response) => {
// Validate the response
expect(response.status).to.eq(200);
expect(response.body.userId).to.eq(1);
expect(response.body.id).to.eq(1);
expect(response.body.title).to.eq("sunt aut facere repellat provident occaecati excepturi optio reprehenderit");
expect(response.body.body).to.eq("quia et suscipit\nsuscipit...");
});
});
});
In this example, we make an HTTP request to the JSONPlaceholder API and then use the expect()
command to assert that the response has a status code of 200 and that the response body contains the expected data.
We can also use Cypress intercept feature to mock and control network request for testing purpose.
Here’s an example:
describe('HTTP request test with intercept', () => {
beforeEach(() => {
cy.intercept('GET', 'https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/posts/1', {
statusCode: 200,
body: {
userId: 1,
id: 1,
title: "sunt aut facere repellat provident occaecati excepturi optio reprehenderit",
body: "quia et suscipit\nsuscipit..."
}
});
});
it('should make an HTTP request and validate the response', () => {
// Make an HTTP request
cy.visit('/my-page-with-http-request');
// Validate the response on the page
cy.get('.title').should('contain', "sunt aut facere repellat provident occaecati excepturi optio reprehenderit");
});
});
In this example, we intercept the HTTP request and return a mock response with the expected data. Then, we visit the page that makes the HTTP request and use cy.get()
to assert that the expected data is displayed on the page. This approach allows you to control the network responses for your testing purpose.
