accessing cookie.value in Cypress.Commands.overwrite('request', ...

[mekalag]

Hello All,

I have written custom Cypress.Commands.overwrite('request', (originalFn, ...args) => {
setting 'X-XSRF-TOKEN': cookie.value, does not work.

Throws Error: TypeError: cookie is null

Whereas if I first set 'X-XSRF-TOKEN': cookie, and run once it throws valid 401 error. Later I change it to 'X-XSRF-TOKEN': cookie.value, it works fine.

But if I close and reopen browser, then back to same issue.

I want to make this work, because for every cy.request we make we have to insert additional header for security purpose. But it's not working as expected. Kindly help
here is a sample project, to reproduce the issue I mentioned
https://github.com/mekalag/cypressProj

test.js is a spec file which you can run. Kindly help me here stuck for a week or so :(
