So this is where testing with VTU+Vitest vs Cypress gets different. The built-in intercept function is cool!

[@LachlanMiller]

Yep - doing this is horrible with any other frameworks (Jest, etc - you can mock axios or use mock server worker, but those are both far worse).
I am happy with Cypress for now - it's far from perfect but does the E2E + CT combo better than any other single tool. Having a single tool for all the things is really useful.

@@LachlanMiller wondering if we can use intercept without the api server running. Probably with msw?

[@LachlanMiller]

@@wobsoriano You can intercept a request w/o an API server - it hits the Cypress network layer and if intercepted, will never make it to your back-end.
So, you could build out an entire app w/o a backend!
