Intercepted request never happens when using cy.session

[wlsf82]

Current behavior

I’m having an issue that only happens when using the experimental cy.session command.
Let me explain it.
I’m testing an app that has the following stack: Angular JS in the frontend, express for the server, and MongoDB as a database.
When using cy.session with the server pointing to a local MongoDB, everything works fine. However, when pointing the server to a remote MongoDB, after the user logs in (with or without the session cached), a request that I expect doesn’t happen after a visit to a page, and so the tests fail when I try to wait for the alias I gave to the intercept.
The only way to make it work when pointing to the remote MongoDB is not to use cy.session, but then, tests get slower (because they always have to login via the GUI).
Here’s a comment from the repo where I’m facing the issue so that you can try to reproduce it (if you want it) brmodeloweb/brmodelo-app#254 (comment).
Has anyone faced an issue like this? Could this be an issue with cy.session?
Any help is appreciated.

Desired behavior

I expect that cy.session should work when the server points to a remote MongoDB, as it does when pointing to a local one.

Test code to reproduce

For details, see this comment from the project where the issue is happening brmodeloweb/brmodelo-app#254 (comment).

To setup the local MongoDB, I had to use the second answer from this StackOverflow question https://stackoverflow.com/questions/58034955/read-only-file-system-when-attempting-mkdir-data-db-on-mac.

Update: We are not using the cy.session feature anymore in the BR Modelo App project.
Instead, we use programmatic login, which solves our issue and makes our tests faster.
When I say it solves our issue, I mean that when logging in programmatically, all requests happen correctly, and we can successfully wait for the intercepted ones.
