createAuthenticationProcessorConnectorTest: profile_id is no

Error message

createAuthenticationProcessorConnectorTest: profile_id is not available in globalState (key: ${profilePrefix}Id). Ensure the AccountCreate prereq has completed successfully.

What it means

Thrown synchronously — before any HTTP call — by the createAuthenticationProcessorConnectorTest command (cypress-tests/cypress/support/commands.js:1815) when globalState.get(`${profilePrefix}Id`) is falsy. It is a prerequisite guard: creating an authentication_processor connector requires a profile_id that an earlier business-profile creation step must have stored under the same prefix.

Solutions

Run the prerequisite first: cy.createBusinessProfileTest(profileBody, globalState, profilePrefix) with the SAME prefix
If the profile step was skipped by config (TRIGGER_SKIP), un-skip it or pre-seed the state
Dump globalState to see which `${prefix}Id` keys actually exist
Remember the default prefix is 'profile' — either create that profile or pass your custom prefix consistently

Example fix

// before — auth-processor connector without its profile
cy.createAuthenticationProcessorConnectorTest(body, globalState, 'authProfile');
// after — create the namespaced profile first
cy.createBusinessProfileTest(profileBody, globalState, 'authProfile');
cy.createAuthenticationProcessorConnectorTest(body, globalState, 'authProfile');

Defensive patterns

Strategy: validation

Validate before calling

const profileId = globalState.get(`${profilePrefix}Id`);
if (!profileId) {
  throw new Error(`Prereq missing: create a business profile with prefix '${profilePrefix}' before this step`);
}

Prevention

Group setup and dependent step in one it() block so .only cannot split them
Namespace profile prefixes deliberately and document each pairing
Check for TRIGGER_SKIP config that silently skipped the prerequisite

When it happens

Trigger: Invoking the command before the matching createBusinessProfileTest step; passing a custom profilePrefix (e.g. 'authProfile') whose profile was never created; the earlier create step being skipped (TRIGGER_SKIP) or failing so `${prefix}Id` was never set.

Common situations: Spec reordering, or running a single test with .only so setup is skipped; copy-pasting the command with a new prefix without adding the corresponding create step; globally skipped prerequisites due to config flags.

Understand the failure class

Authentication and authorization failures — expired tokens, bad credentials, and missing scopes.
