The site I'm working on makes multiple requests to api/v1/roles/{UUID}/permission-groups?includeUnlinked=true to load all the permissions that could be applied to a user.
If I use cy.intercept('api/v1/roles/*/permission-groups?includeUnlinked=true').as('permissions') then wait, Cypress continues as soon as the first request has completed. Unfortunately, not all the permissions have loaded by then, so my test fails. I'm having to hard code a 2-second wait just to make sure all the permissions have loaded, which obviously isn't ideal.
How can I make my test intercept and wait until all the permissions have loaded?

Reset to default 4Go to the browser devtools, open the Network tab, clear the display and run the test.
Count the number of permission-groups entries to figure out how many permissions there actually are loaded (it should be consistent each run), then apply the intercept wait() that many times.
Cypress._.times(5, (index) => cy.wait('@permissions'))
// wait 5 times if there are 5 permissions
If you find that difficult, or the permissions are not applied consistently (which may be bug in itself), you can wait for network-idle.
cy.waitForNetworkIdle('/v1/api/roles/*/permission-groups?includeUnlinked=true', 1000)
although this would not appear to be necessary in this case.
