How do you assert on the response of an intercepted request?

cy.wait("@saveOrder").its("response.statusCode").should("eq", 201);

1Call cy.request again and compare the two responses
2Wait on the alias and check properties of the interception
3Read the response from the server logs after the test

Show the answer

Correct answer: Wait on the alias and check properties of the interception

Explanation

cy.wait('@alias') yields an object with request and response, so body, headers and status can all be asserted.
