In Cypress 15.4 and later, open a test in the Cypress App, select Options in the Command Log header, and turn off Show HTTP Requests. This hides the displayed XHR and Fetch entries; the requests still run and remain available to cy.intercept().

Hide XHR and Fetch entries in the Cypress App

  1. Open the test in the Cypress App.
  2. In the Command Log header, select Options.
  3. Deselect Show HTTP Requests.

Cypress introduced this display option in version 15.4. It changes what the Command Log shows, not the test’s network behavior: requests continue to run, and you can still use cy.intercept() to spy on or stub them. See Cypress’s announcement for the App option.

Choose code-level logging control when it fits

If you want logging behavior configured in the test rather than using the App’s visibility preference, Cypress documents log: false for intercepts. This controls Command Log entries, not whether the browser sends the request.

Suppress logs for matched XHR and Fetch traffic

cy.intercept({ resourceType: /xhr|fetch/ }, { log: false })

This is Cypress’s documented catch-all pattern. However, the cy.intercept() API reference marks resourceType deprecated since Cypress 14. Check that reference against your installed Cypress version before relying on this matcher. Cypress says logging is configured when the intercept is defined, not from inside its callback.

Elebase USB to USB C Adapter for iPhone 18 Pro Max,USBC Car Charger Adapter
  • Read Before You Buy — No Video Output: These adapters support charging and USB 2.0 data transfer, but cannot transmit video signals. Except for standard USB webcams (which use USB data only), they are not compatible with HDMI/DisplayPort cables, video-capable USB-C hubs, or docking stations with video output.
  • Convert USB-A Ports to USB-C: Designed to connect USB-C earphones, cables, flash drives, card readers, and other USB-C accessories to standard USB-A ports. Plug-and-play with no drivers or software required.
  • Aluminum Alloy Housing: Built with a sturdy aluminum alloy shell that aids in heat dissipation and protects against daily wear and scratches. Designed to maintain a stable and secure connection.
  • Compact & Travel-Friendly: The ultra-compact design allows the adapter to stay plugged into your device without blocking adjacent ports or adding bulk, reducing wear and tear on your original USB ports.
  • 12-Month Warranty: Backed by a 12-month manufacturer warranty for peace of mind. Designed to meet strict quality control standards for reliable everyday performance.

Suppress logging for one static stub

For a particular intercepted route with a static response, pass log: false with the response:

cy.intercept('GET', '/api/items', { log: false, body: [] })

The network requests guide documents placing log: false alongside a static response. This is scoped to that route; it is not a global filter for all requests.

Hide a cy.request() command entry separately

cy.request() has its own log option, which defaults to true. Set it to false in the command options to hide that command’s entry:

cy.request({ url: '/api/health', log: false })

This is distinct from hiding browser-originated XHR and Fetch entries. Cypress issues cy.request() from its Node process, outside the browser proxy used by cy.intercept(). See the cy.request() API reference and the Cypress App FAQ.

Which method should you use?

What you want Method Scope and caveat
Quickly declutter the visible Command Log App Options → deselect Show HTTP Requests Cypress 15.4+; display-only, with no change to test execution.
Suppress default logs for matched application traffic in code cy.intercept({ resourceType: /xhr|fetch/ }, { log: false }) Documented matcher, but resourceType is deprecated since Cypress 14.
Suppress logging for one static intercepted response Set log: false in that route’s static response Applies to that defined route.
Hide a cy.request() command Set log: false in its options object Controls that command’s entry, not browser XHR or Fetch logs.

Troubleshooting

The HTTP request entries are still visible

Confirm that you changed the Show HTTP Requests option in the Command Log header’s Options menu. If the Cypress version is older than 15.4, the App toggle is not documented as available; use a supported code-level option instead.

Turning off the option did not stop network traffic

That is expected. The App option hides entries from view; it does not block requests. Use cy.intercept() when you need to observe or stub browser requests.

The resourceType matcher does not work as expected

Because Cypress marks resourceType deprecated since version 14, verify compatibility in the current API reference for your installed release. For one static route, the documented log: false response option avoids using that catch-all matcher.

A cy.request() entry remains in the log

Set log: false on the cy.request() call itself. An intercept for browser XHR and Fetch traffic does not control this Node-issued command.

Version context

Cypress announced the App visibility option on November 6, 2025, for Cypress 15.4 and later. The Cypress release listing records Cypress 16.0.0 as released September 1, 2026. Confirm behavior against the release installed in your project, especially for the deprecated resourceType property.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does hiding HTTP requests remove them from Cypress’s network activity?

No. The App toggle changes only the Command Log display; requests still execute.

Does the Show HTTP Requests toggle hide cy.request() entries?

No. Set the command’s own log option to false to hide a cy.request() entry.
