ViewsCypress doesn't like to share the value with multiple aliases
In my beforeEach I have
cy.intercept('GET', '**/api/v2/invoices**').as('getPaidInvoices');
I have some tests where I use getPaidInvoices with exactle same path. But then I have different test
cy.intercept('GET', '**/api/v2/invoices**').as('getInvoices');
cy.wait('@getInvoices').then((xhr) => {
expect(xhr.response.statusCode).to.equal(200);
Then I have cy with each loop for options in drop-down menu. By clicking on each option inside, I await request different for each option. The address is almost the same, except the last two ** will get different arguments.
The problem seems Cypress doesn't like to share the value of getPaidInvoices with GetInvoices. On the line with
cy.intercept('GET', '**/api/v2/invoices**').as('getInvoices');
it says "This request matched: cy.intercept() spy with alias @getPaidInvoices
Is there any workaround? I need "/api/v2/invoices" to be used my multiple aliases. Or is there option to do it without aliases?
Thank you

This part 'GET', '**/api/v2/invoices**' is the "routeMatcher". When two intercepts use the same routeMatcher, the last one defined is supposed to be the one that handles the call.
However, from your description, it seems to be the other way round.
There's a couple of ways to handle it, the best IMO is to use a function and assign the alias within it
From Aliasing individual requests
cy.intercept('GET', '**/api/v2/invoices**', (req) => {
// test the url string
if (req.url.includes('paid')) { // check the arguments
req.alias = 'getPaidInvoices'
} else {
req.alias = 'getInvoices'
}
})
