Cypress - Authentication and Sessions

Given the following code snippet, what will be the value of token after the test runs?

cy.request('POST', '/api/login', { username: 'test', password: '1234' })
  .then((response) => {
    const token = response.body.token
    cy.wrap(token).as('authToken')
  })

AUndefined, because <code>token</code> is declared inside the callback only.

BThe token string returned from the login API response body.

CAn error because <code>cy.wrap</code> cannot be used inside <code>then</code>.

DThe entire response object instead of just the token.

Step-by-Step Solution

Solution:

Step 1: Understand cy.request and then callback
The then receives the response object from the POST request.
Step 2: Extract token from response.body.token
The code assigns token to the token string from the response body and saves it as an alias.
Final Answer:
The token string returned from the login API response body. -> Option B
Quick Check:
Response body token is saved as alias [OK]

Quick Trick: Response body holds token; alias saves it for later [OK]

Common Mistakes:

Thinking token is undefined outside callback
Believing cy.wrap cannot be used inside then
Confusing response object with token string
