cypress: Individual requests aliases not working
Current behavior
When passing a callback function as the third parameter of cy.intercept() to dynamically alias individual requests they do not get aliased at all and cypress is unable to wait for them to complete.
Desired behavior
Individual requests should be able to be aliased so cypress can wait for them to complete.
Test code to reproduce
cy.visit('https://reactjs.org/');
cy.intercept('GET', '**/*', (req) => {
req.alias = 'sampleRequest';
});
cy.wait('@sampleRequest');
Cypress Version
11.0.1
Node version
16.14.2
Operating System
macOS 10.15.7
Debug Logs
No response
Other
Cypress is able to see that the request got intercepted but on the task runner it shows requests as “No alias”.
If I manually set the alias with .as('sampleRequest') it does work correctly.

This is still a problem. The aliasing works correctly and allows responses to be stubbed and requests to be waited on, however ‘no alias’ is displayed for all instances where the alias is set on the request (using
request.alias = "example") insidecy.intercept`.This is true even when intercepts are defined well before any
cy.visit.@tarrball Yeah, but I think the problem is that we want to conditionally add an alias.
@jennifer-shehane @lmiller1990 @flotwig - This bug may not be high priority in terms of functionality but the alias details not showing up in command log is creating lot of confusion, especially to track if the intercept is matched (or) not
Our app uses Mqtt and requests polled as a backup for every <n> seconds… With this issue, it is not easy to check if an appropriate fixture is sent for an intercepted request (or) not. We have to click the
no aliasand view the details in dev tools to confirmIs there a timeline to fix this issue? It not, it would be great if this can be looked at in near future
@felipeptcho makes sense. I was trying to conditionally set it, but couldn’t get it to work (and then found this thread). Using
as()and a little rearranging of the test made the conditional alias unnecessary (for my needs).Hi everyone, I’m facing the same problem and from what I’ve seen it seems that the
reqobject lacks thealiasfield even after hardcoding it
