const { defineConfig } = require('cypress');
const { downloadFile } = require('cypress-downloadfile/lib/addPlugin')
module.exports = defineConfig({
e2e: {
setupNodeEvents(on, config) {
on('task', { downloadFile })
},
},
}),
Command in Commands.js:
require('cypress-downloadfile/lib/downloadFileCommand')

Refer the official documentation.
You need to configure Cypress with your proxy.It wont work without it.
https://docs.cypress.io/guides/references/proxy-configuration#:~:text=Cypress%20needs%20Internet%20access%20to,load%20web%20pages%20besides%20localhost%20.
Since you mentioned that this works when the proxy is not set, then there are other things to consider.
In node.js, we had a similar problem with a different version of
axioswhere downgrading it fixed the proxy problem. It can also be something to do with the method you’re using in cypress. Have you considered usingcy.request()to see if you get the same behaviour? It may help to select different packages by providing proxy arguments.If the same behaviour is persistent across all the methods, check your proxy settings and see that it doesn’t block requests to
https://en.wikipedia.org. This problem should likely be fixed through the proxy settings.There is a fine cypress documentation that describes different ways to overcome proxy problems for cypress.
Check Firewall Settings that checks that it doesn’t interfere with the outbound rules.
Try to troubleshoot the network issues, especially if the server is using VPN.
