Support dynamically disabling request logs via cy.intercept()

[flotwig]

What would you like?

Add the ability to dynamically disable request logs in cy.intercept(), like so:

cy.intercept('/foo', (req) => {
  req.log = false
}

Why is this needed?

#25547 adds the ability to control log via StaticResponseWithOptions. However, this can only be done statically, not dynamically via an interceptor function.

The reasons why it was done this way are detailed in the original ClickUp initiative. TL;DR: dynamically setting log can cause a log to be hidden/shown asynchronously, which requires making some hard UI decisions about how to indicate this at each step.

Make sure to update the docs when this issue is closed in the future. cypress-io/cypress-documentation#5106

Any updates on this?

It would be nice to have an option to log only when there is an error.

Other options are:

• to change the signature and move the log option to a "third" options argument (or "fourth" if method or url are passed on separately), like so:

  cy.intercept({method and/or url or RouteMatcher}, {StaticResponse or RouteHandler}, { log: false })

  Currently it is a bit of an odd-one-out option in the StaticResponse object. Not sure if other intercept options would qualify for this object.
• to add the possibility to set the RouteHandler via an option in StaticResponse, like so:

  cy.intercept({method and/or url or RouteMatcer}, { handler: (req) => { ... }, log: false })

Obviously thorough analysis is necessary to check if these signatures are not dubiously conflicting with the existing signature.

Argh, also needed this to make my logs look a bit prettier.
