cypress: Cypress is not capturing app XHR its only capturing 3rd party XHR calls
Current behavior:
Request(XHR) going to 3rd party is captured
Request going to our own api is not captured:
Desired behavior:
Every XHR request on page load should be captured.
Steps to reproduce:
cy.visit('/');
cy.get('select#users').select('ShootCoordinator')
cy.get('input').click();
cy.wait(2000)
cy.get('.filter-callout.medium-text').contains('Filters')
cy.visit('/asosstudio/');
Versions

I guess I know the answer. For some reason Cypress is not intercepting requests, when application uses Fetch API instead of XHR API.
Our application under test contains a lib which checks if browser knows about ‘fetch’ function. If not, it fallbacks to XHR-based requests. So, our solution was to “disable” fetch feature to cause this fallback. Our tests do the following:
(support/index.js)
But in your case it might not work. Check with your developers if they use Fetch API, and if yes, ask if they can provide fallback to XHR API.
I can’t swear that your problem is of the same origin, but it looks exactly like ours to me.
It doesn’t. There is an open issue for that: https://github.com/cypress-io/cypress/issues/687
