Mocking `getInitialProps` Responses

Is it possible to mock / stub requests sent from getInitialProps or getServerSideProps? I've tried using cy.route and cy.route2 but I don't think it works since it's expecting to mock through the network layer in the browser.

Not sure if there's a way to do this or if there's a recommended practice? If there is one, I'd be glad to add it as an example in this repo.

Thanks!

I have a workaround for you.

Apparently you can run next as a cypress plugin to mock server side network calls
