loginByApi command does not allow user to skip the UI logon form

[GrayedFox]

It seems like the loginByApi command doesn't allow tests to skip the UI log on form, despite logging in successfully.

By cloning this repo and replacing lines 11-13 in the user-settings.spec.ts with:

cy.loginByApi('Katharina_Bernier');

The issue manifests. Is there something more that command needs to do in order to allow integration tests to skip the UI logon form the same way LoginByXState does?

@GrayedFox loginByApi is a command meant for the API tests only, not the UI tests. loginByXstate is meant for UI tests.

The user-settings.spec.ts is a UI test.

Refer to the API tests for examples of using loginByApi.

Thanks for the pointer. I did skim over those examples, I think I'm just confused as to why this method wouldn't work for the UI (since the auth cookie is still set and carries over into the next requests). Taking a closer look at the other login commands used for UI tests now. Cheers
