How to add regular expression to filter out the xhr URL in Cypress

Question

I have a scenario where in I have to process and validate the XHR response of nearly equal URLs:

URL-1: http://localhost:8080/api/customer/123/acounts
URL-2: http://localhost:8080/api/customer/asfgeras-qwe2-34hg-qwerhngfa

when I initialize the server in cypress and mention the xhr url as following, it always returns me the response of the URL-1 (which in my case is called first by the AUT) but I am unable to fetch the response of URL-2 although it is called in the AUT.

cy.server();
cy.route('GET','**/api/customer/**').as('GETCustomer);

I want to capture the response of URL-2. Please suggest any approach to do so (preferably regEx)

Answer 1

The above solution works for a wild card search criteria but not for specific api search. Using something like this can help you sort out the request

cy.route('GET', /\/api\/customer\/([a-zA-Z0-9]){8}-([a-zA-Z0-9]){4}-([a-zA-Z0-9]){4}-([a-zA-Z0-9]){4}-([a-zA-Z0-9]){1,}$/).as('GETCustomer');
