Cypress and Adobe Analytics Failure

Question

I am using Cypress automation, at the moment I am testing/writing tests for Analytics. With Google Analytics I was easily able to write my tests using cy.intercept() function and was successfully able to assert Google Analytics. But... with Adobe Analtics the cy.intercept() function doesn't see Adobe Analytics. I been researching solutions with no luck, 1. there is very little info 2. their solutions suggest to use cy.interept(). Here is what I have so far:

The prior steps are to login the website and turn on Adobe Analytics. Then I am supposed to assert that Adobe Analytics are up and running. I am using this:

            cy.intercept('POST', 'your_website', { statusCode: 200 }).as('adobe-analytics')

            cy.wait(5000)
            cy.log('**Step 6**')
            cy.waitForStableDOM({timeout: 55000})
            cy.wait(5000)
            cy.wait('@adobe-analytics').get('@adobe-analytics')
            .then((xhr) =>{
                console.log("Adobe-Analytics Response:", xhr)
                
            })

Where it fails is at cy.wait('@adobe-analytics') and the response I get that the 1sst request to the route: @61380-analytics no request ever occurred.

Any help is appreciated.

            cy.wait('@adobe-analytics').get('@adobe-analytics')
            .then((xhr) =>{
                console.log("Adobe-Analytics Response:", xhr)
                
            })  Where it fails is at cy.wait('@adobe-analytics') and the response I get that the 1sst request to the route: @61380-analytics no request ever occurred. Any help is appreciated.

THANK YOU!!! . What it was was the long website name I added in the cy.intercept()

example:

cy.intercept('POST', 'https://securetags.e.com/b/ss/e.researchdev.turner/1/JS-2.23.0/s').as('adobe-analytics')

So, I followed what you did and got rid of 'POST' and changed the intercept to:

'/b/ss/**' and it worked.

It looks like this now:

cy.intercept('/b/ss/**',).as('adobe-analytics') = Boom! It works!

Now, I'm able to pull any info off of it!

Thank you so much!!!

This worked for me: describe('detect Adobe Analytics request', () => {  it('visits a webpage', () => {    // specify the intercept first    cy.intercept(      '/b/ss/**',    ).as('adobeAnalyticsRequest');    // then load the web page to be tested    cy.visit('https://www.website.com');    // then check for the AA request    cy.get('@adobeAnalyticsRequest').then((req) => {      console.log('adobeAnalyticsRequest', req);    });  });});Strangely, if I call cy.visit() before cy.intercept(), then the AA request does not get intercepted. But this also happens with other network requests, so it's not an AA-specific issue.
