CYPRESS store cy.request response in a variable












0















I have this one file that calls a login function



testing.js



var res = accounts.createSession(config.email_prod,config.password_prod,user_id)


on another file, I have this:



accounts.js



export function createSession(email,password,user_id){
cy.request({
method:'POST',
url:config.accounts_prod + '/token',
headers:{
'authorization': 'Basic testestestestest'
},
qs:{
'grant_type':'password',
'username':email,
'password':password
}
}).then((response)=>{
var X = response.body.access_token
cy.log("create session " + x)
login(response.body.access_token, user_id)
})
}

export function login(token,user_id){
var result = cy.request({
method:'POST',
url:config.ws_prod + '/login.pl',
headers:{
'authorization': token,
'Content-Type' : 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded'
},
body:'user_id='+user_id+'&device_id='+device_id+'&os_type='+os_type
})
return token
}


so I want to store token value and return it to res variable on testing.js file
but everytime I store token (in this example I store it inside X) and I try to print it, it always says undefined
but I can do cy.log(token) and it was fine on login() function, but that's all it can do, it cannot be store into a variable
is there another way for me to store token ?
