Keep your AI-assisted tests readable from top to bottom. cy.prompt now supports referencing cy.intercept aliases directly in your prompt instructions, so network coordination stays inside the flow.

Cypress's platform is a resource for developers and QA engineers, offering insights into end-to-end testing, test automation frameworks, and modern web application testing. Through articles, tutorials, and documentation, Cypress offers insights into writing and running automated tests for web applications. Developers can learn about Cypress's testing features, including real-time feedback, browser snapshots, and debugging tools, to ensure the quality and reliability of their web applications.

Cypress has added support for referencing cy.intercept aliases directly inside cy.prompt instructions. Previously, waiting for network requests required breaking out of the prompt block with a standalone cy.wait() call, disrupting test readability. Now, you can define your intercept and alias outside the prompt, then reference it by name (using the @ prefix) within the prompt instructions array. Cypress resolves the wait in sequence automatically. The alias must be defined before cy.prompt runs. This is described as the first iteration of network-awareness in cy.prompt, handling the simplest case of waiting for a named intercept.
