Cypress how to continue to call back end API until getting the expected result or timeout












0















I need to create a test case which needs to call a "get" API method to get some information, but the back end server some time need time to process, so I need to create a loop to continue to call the "get" API method until getting the expected result or timeout.



the pseudo code looks like following



string responseMessage;    
for(i=0, i<10, i++) {
responseMessage = callGetApi();
if (responseMessage == "success") {
exit loop;
}else {
wait 1 seccond;
}
}


but I don't know how to create that kind of code in Cypress, please help!

          Use async/await:



          it('Test loop', async function() {
          for(let i=0; i<10; i++) {
          await Cypress.Promise(resolve => {
          cy.request(your_url).should(response => {
          expect(response.status).to.eq(200);
          resolve();
          });
          }
          }
          });

          • Thanks for your answer, one problem after I use your code in my test, the test is to continue running not stop even the response status is 200, and I added code "console.log(i);" to show the iteration. the console show stop at second iteration.
