Cypress: how to test routes status code throughout entire test?

I have a test where a certain fetch request is happening around 70 times and at the end of the test I need to check that all the status codes were 200 or 204. So far I am intercepting the request and can check the response.statusCode for that 1 request but I'm having trouble doing it for the rest. Here is what I have so far.

it('Testing', function () {
        cy.intercept('proxy/test*').as('test')
        cy.visit('/user/test');
        const aliases = [];
        for (let i = 1; i <= 70; i++){
            aliases.push('@test')
        }
        .............
        .............
        cy.wait(aliases).its('response.statusCode').should('eq', 200 || 204)

The error I am getting is

Timed out retrying after 4000ms: cy.its() errored because the property: response does not exist on your subject.

cy.its() waited for the specified property response to exist, but it never did.

Can anyone help with this?

You said around 70 times, so if you test exactly 70 times and it's actually 69 you get a fail, even if all statusCodes are correct.

So you'll need a criteria that tells the test that fetches have stopped, usually something on the screen only appears after the final fetch.

Failing that, you can use a fixed wait, but generally you would try to avoid that.

Ref Intercepting-a-response

const statusCodes = []

cy.intercept('proxy/test*', (req) => {
  req.continue((res) => {
    statusCodes.push(res.statusCode)
  })
}).as('test')

// assert an element on page that only appears after all fetches finished

cy.wrap(statusCodes).should(codes => {
  expect(codes.every(code => code === 200 || code === 204)).to.eq(true)
})

If you do know the exact number of fetches, it's easier

const statusCodes = []

cy.intercept('proxy/test*', (req) => {
  req.continue((res) => {
    statusCodes.push(res.statusCode)
  })
}).as('test')

Cypress._.times(70, () => cy.wait('@test'))  // exact call count is known

cy.wrap(statusCodes).should(codes => {
  expect(codes.every(code => code === 200 || code === 204)).to.eq(true)
})
