Cypress Quick Tip: Mock API Failures

This is a real quick one! If you need to test on an API failure, it's super easy to make one with cy.server and cy.route like so.

it('Write a test for failed API response!', () => {
  cy.server()
  cy.route({
    method: 'POST',
    url: '/api/endpoint',
    status: 500,
    response: {}
  });
})

There are so many other things you can do but you sure better be testing your failure conditions.
