Token not being persisted across Cypress tests

I have created a Cypress command to fetch me a JWT token from my GQL API. I then set the token as a cookie to use in my tests that require authentication.

Here is my login command:

export function login(username, password) {
  const { apiUrl: url } = Cypress.env();
  cy.request({
    method: 'POST',
    url,
    body: {
      operationName: 'signin',
      headers: {
        'content-type': 'application/json'
      },
      query:
        `mutation signin($email: String!, $password: String!) {
          signin(input: {email: $email, password: $password}) {
            id
            token
            __typename
          }
        }`,
      variables: { email: username, password: password }
    }
  })
  .then(response => {
    const { token } = response.body.data.signin;
    cookie.set('token', token, { expires: 10000000 });
    cy.wait(3000);
  });
}

I can see when I run the login command the cookie is set but when my test tries to visit a page within my app the cookie disappears.

describe('Entity Page', () => {
  before(() => {
    const { username, password } = Cypress.env();
    cy.login(username, password);

    cy.addEntity(newEntityId, {});

    cy.wait(3000);
    cy.get('@entityId').then(entityId => {
      cy.visit(`/entity/${entityId}`)
      cy.wait(6000)
    });
  });

By the time I get to addEntity the cookie disappears and I am unauthenticated. Is there something I need to do to persist cookies? I tried Cypress.Cookies.preserveOnce but this had no effect

I also tried adding the below to my support/index.js but the cookie is still removed.

Cypress.Cookies.defaults({
  preserve: 'token'
})

Try it with cy.setCookie(name, value) docs.

It has a couple of defaults that might help.

  • domain - defaults to window.location.hostname. The domain the cookie is visible to.
  • expiry - defaults to 20 years into the future. Specified as seconds since 1 January 1970 (10,000,000 is only 115 days).
