Test Replay does not display all the information from cypress-plugin-api

[juan-belmonte]

After successfully upgrading to Cypress 13, we ran our API tests built using cypress-plugin-api to check if Test Replay was suitable for this kind of tests — actual requests are made in Node, not in the browser.

As far as I can extract from the output, only the number of requests, the response status code and duration are successfully displayed on screen. The debugging information of the requests — URL, headers, body from both the request and the response — are blank. The cypress-plugin-api UI is shown, though.

Is Test Replay expected to successfully display all the information from cy.request and thus cy.api? Is cy.request outside its scope? Or is this an integration issue between the new Test Replay and the plugin itself?

I can confirm that cy.request command has no any output in the network tab (which is okay) or in the console tab when I click on the command (which is not okay).

We get no console output when clicking on the step that's failing:

- assert expected { Object (code, data, ...) } to deeply match { Object (code, data, ...) }

We are still blind to the root cause for these API tests, unless we repeat it locally for sure.
That's why I still wonder if this an integration issue between the new Test Replay and the plugin itself.

We have plans to better support cy.request in Test Replay - we recognize the review of this is not a great experience outside of the App. Today you should be able to click on the actual cy.request command with your devtools open to see console information about it.

Thank you for your reply @jennifer-shehane. I'll keep an eye on the communications so that I'm aware when support for cy.request is enhanced.
