What is wrong with this Cypress API-first setup code?

cy.request('POST', '/api/login', {username: 'user', password: 'pass'})
  .then((response) => {
    cy.setCookie('auth', response.token)
  })

Aresponse.token is undefined; should use response.body.token

Bcy.setCookie() cannot be used inside .then()

CPOST method cannot be used with cy.request()

DMissing cy.visit() after login

Step-by-Step Solution

Solution:

Step 1: Check how to access response data
Cypress response object stores API response data inside response.body, so token is at response.body.token.
Step 2: Identify incorrect property usage
Using response.token is undefined, causing cookie to be set with undefined value.
Final Answer:
response.token is undefined; should use response.body.token -> Option A
Quick Check:
Access API data via response.body [OK]

Quick Trick: API response data is inside response.body, not response directly [OK]
