Cypress test hang up when intercepting requests

[bosix]

Hi everyone,

I am facing an error where a Cypress test hangs and does not continue without any further output. I believe the problem is on our end, so this is not a bug report, but I need help understanding the cause of the error.

With debug mode enabled, I can see that the browserRequestId is undefined when the test hangs. Here are the complete log entries:

cypress:net-stubbing:server:intercept-request intercepting request { requestId: 'interceptedRequest35', req: { url: '/api/xxxxxx' } }
cypress:net-stubbing:server:util sending event to driver { eventName: 'before:request', data: { eventId: 'event36', subscription: { eventName: 'before:request', await: true, routeId: '1642503706193-11' }, browserRequestId: undefined, requestId: 'interceptedRequest35', data: { headers: [Object], url: 'http://localhost:3000/api/xxxxxx', method: 'GET', httpVersion: '1.1', body: '' } } }

I have to mention that the test kind of "flickers" so sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't and when it works, the browserRequestId has a value (e.g. 14983.113).

Can someone tell me what browserRequestId is for and what can cause it to be undefined?
