Cypress - Authentication and Sessions

Consider this code snippet:

cy.session('user', () => {
  cy.request('POST', '/login', { username: 'user', password: 'pass' })
})
cy.session('user')

What is the expected behavior?

AThe POST request runs only once; session is reused later

BThe POST request runs every time cy.session('user') is called

CThe test fails because cy.request cannot be used inside cy.session

DThe session is never cached due to missing visit command

Step-by-Step Solution

Solution:

Step 1: Recognize cy.request usage in session
Using cy.request inside cy.session is valid to log in programmatically.
Step 2: Understand session caching
The POST request runs once to create session; later calls reuse it.
Final Answer:
The POST request runs only once; session is reused later -> Option A
Quick Check:
Programmatic login cached = B [OK]

Quick Trick: Programmatic login inside session caches once [OK]
