cy.request(): allow cy.request not to fail under non 2xx/3xx status codes

[tormoseng]

I need to strip out a token from a request that returns HTTP 401. That is currently not possible.

So after looking at this... this is actually already part of cy.request and was documented here:

https://docs.cypress.io/v1.0/docs/request#section-options

You just need to pass failOnStatus: false.

Fixed in 0.18.1.

@Team - I am new to this so, i need the syntax as to how to pass the failOnStatus: false and where do i pass this

[cmpDrone]

I found the solution myself -

cy.request({
  method:'POST',
  url:'https://xxxx.in', 
  body:{userName: "ghnfhg", password: "ghnfhg"},
  failOnStatusCode: false
})

It's in the documentation here https://docs.cypress.io/api/commands/request.html#Usage

it's also in many recipes you just need to search for cy.request
