Alias for intercept is not working if overwriting cy.intercept command

[bahmutov]

Cypress v6.1.0

describe('intercept', () => {
  Cypress.Commands.overwrite('intercept', (intercept, ...args) => {
    return cy.log('intercept!').then(() => {
      return intercept(...args)
    })
  })

  it('is registered too late', () => {
    cy.visit('/')
    cy.intercept('/todos').as('todos')
    cy.wait('@todos')
  })
})

The alias todos is not recognized, but the routes table is showing it

Note: even putting cy.wait into cy.then does not solve it - something is really off about this alias.

Similar issue #3890

Another note: using function instead of arrow functions does not resolve the problem

I think this may be related to this issue? Not sure. #5101

Ughh, it does not "understand" that the command returns an XHR request

Cypress.Commands.overwrite('intercept', function (intercept, ...args) {
  return cy.log('intercept!').then(function () {
    return intercept(...args)
  })
})
cy.intercept('/foo', 'my value').as('netAlias')
cy.wait('@netAlias')
