I'm testing a heavy page with cypress, and I need to wait until there are no active XHR requests, I have tried to use Cypress.$.active === 0, but this is always true even when there are active ones. What should I do?

  • I believe Cypress only has built-in support to wait for stubbed XHR requests. There's no built-in support wait for non-stubbed requests to finish. Would it be possible to simply wait for a certain button to appear? In addition, what are you trying to test? – natn2323 May 08 '20 at 15:52
  • I have no way to know how many requests I'm waiting for, that's why I need to find a function outside cypress to do it. And I'm trying to not rely on animations only, because my tests are not written for a specific element – Eduardo Carneiro May 09 '20 at 16:59

In Cypress you can wait on intercepted requests. You do not have to stub the response for these requests, by default they will still call their original destination.

cy.intercept('/**').as('ajax-requests');

...actions that trigger AJAX requests...

cy.wait('@ajax-requests');
