I have 2 similar tests within the same feature file. They are essentially the same test except one expects to find a list of data while the other expects no data.

They both share identical step names, however the implementations of the final step is different.

myfeature.feature

Scenario Outline: Log in and see data
    Given User visits page
    When User logs in
    Then Should see expected result // Same name step

Scenario Outline: Log in and no data
    Given User visits page
    When User logs in
    Then Should see expected result // Same name step

The test definition file looks something like:

describe('Log in and see data', () => {
    Given('User visits page', () => {
        // Do page visit
    });
    When('User logs in', () => {
        // Perform log in logic
    });
    Then('Should see expected result', () => {
        cy.get('my-component').should('be.visible');
    });
});

describe('Log in and no data', () => {
    Given('User visits page', () => {
        // Do page visit
    });
    When('User logs in', () => {
        // Perform log in logic
    });
    Then('Should see expected result', () => {
        cy.get('my-component').should('not.exist');
    });
});

When I am running Cypress it shows that the first test passes correctly, however the second test fails and when I look into the test run it seems that the Should see expected result step is hitting the Then definition from the top describe block for the other test…

Questions around the behaviour seen:

1. Is there any reason for this?
2. Is there a way in which I can stop this from happening and the test hit the correct definition?
3. What is the best practise here?
