CypressError: cy.request() failed trying to load

[WinstonN]

I'm testing an API json response
My code looks like

describe('retrieve information for product', () => {
    // asserts
    it('with sku', () => {
      cy.request('GET', `${url}/product/list?skus=WJ12`)
        .then((response) => {
          // response.body is automatically serialised into JSON
          console.log(response)
      })
    })
  })

The API url is http://localhost:8080/api/product/list?skus=WJ12

Within the GUI of Cypress it works, as can be seen below

When running the same code in the CLI it fails with

  test the product api
    ✓ loads the product api (48ms)
    retrieve information for product
      1) with sku


  1 passing (940ms)
  1 failing

  1) test the product api
       retrieve information for product
         with sku:
     CypressError: `cy.request()` failed trying to load:

http://localhost:8080/api/product/list?skus=WJ12

We attempted to make an http request to this URL but the request failed without a response.

We received this error at the network level:

  > Error: connect ECONNREFUSED 127.0.0.1:8080

I have tested this in
Cypress 4.7.0
Cypress 4.8.0

Can you see if I am doing anything wrong here?

I found the issue. I'm running cypress cli in a docker, and this docker instance, does not recognise the location of the API
Running it locally works, as expected

  test the product api
    ✓ loads the product api
    retrieve information for product
      ✓ with sku (1663ms)


  2 passing (2s)

how do you fix this issue? because I have the same one when I try to test on the GitHub action
