cy.request with failOnStatusCode: false not working

Running the call cy.request({url: '/abcde', failOnStatusCode: false}); returns the following error for me.

CypressError: cy.request() failed on:

https://mysite.com/abcde

The response we received from your web server was:

  > 404: Not Found

This was considered a failure because the status code was not '2xx' or '3xx'.

If you do not want status codes to cause failures pass the option: 'failOnStatusCode: false'

-----------------------------------------------------------

I actually want the 404 to appear and check do some checks there. I am currently on the last version of Cypress(3.6.1) so that’s not the problem.

@yunusHW @gissavem cy.request() does not accept 2, 3, args with an options argument as the last arg as you have written. If you need to pass options, you need to pass a single options argument with all arguments including url, method (if necessary) and failOnStatusCode. Please check the docs: https://on.cypress.io/requesttax

it('test 500', () => {
  cy.request({
    url: 'https://httpstat.us/500', 
    failOnStatusCode: false 
  }).then((response) => {
    expect(response.status).to.eq(500)
    expect(response.body).to.eq("500 Internal Server Error")
  })
})

@jennifer-shehane I tried your sample code, still not working for me. my test code:

/// <reference types="cypress" />

context('Aliasing', () => {
    beforeEach(() => {
    })

    it('test 500', () => {
        cy.request({
            method: "GET",
            url: "http://127.0.0.1:5001" + "/hostui",
            failOnStatusCode: false
        }).then((response) => {
            expect(response.status).to.eq(500)
            expect(response.body).to.eq("500 Internal Server Error")
        })
    })
})

and the output is:


request
GET --- http://127.0.0.1:5001/hostui
CypressError
cy.request() failed trying to load:

http://127.0.0.1:5001/hostui

We attempted to make an http request to this URL but the request failed without a response.

We received this error at the network level:

  > Error: connect ECONNREFUSED 127.0.0.1:5001

-----------------------------------------------------------

The request we sent was:

Method: GET
URL: http://127.0.0.1:5001/hostui

-----------------------------------------------------------

Common situations why this would fail:
  - you don't have internet access
  - you forgot to run / boot your web server
  - your web server isn't accessible
  - you have weird network configuration settings on your computerLearn more
