Hi everyone, I am having a strange issue with the

cy.session

command I don't explicitly logout the user between tests from the same spec file (I am still using Cypress version 9.7.0) and the login credentials that are passed to the session command are different than the previous ones (I see it in the command logs as well). However the command proceeds to the

validate

method to check if the session is valid, even though the user credentials were different. In the

validate

method I use

expect().to.be.false

type of validations to check if the token is still valid and since we do have a valid token it proceeds to use the previous user instead of logging in with the new one. Has anyone encountered such an issue and how did you handle it?

**UPDATE**: It seems that when

cy.session

caches the user (with the new username password combination) for the first time, it works, but in the second test when it restores the session data based on the existing cached ID it uses the session data of the previous user

**SOLUTION**: I actually found what was the issue and thought I share it here before closing the thread: I am using the

cypress-localstorage-commands

plugin for restoring the local storage data in the

validate

method of

cy.session

so the session can be correctly validated in our application. I was not passing an argument for a

snapshotName

when saving and restoring the local storage data which lead to incorrect data being restored. Adding the

snapshotName

value in the restore and save commands resolved this issue
