2.1.2 version- errors with the body format. The cause is in the highlight.js file

[OlgaShchekina]

When the body looks like this : { "forwardTo": " " } , Cypress cy.api returns an error. It works fine with the cy.request and with the previous cy.api version.

I have added a test for this but did not see a problem, can you add a test showing the crash?

Thanks Gleb !
I will take a look on hightlight lib

  })

I'm experiencing a similar issue. My endpoint is returning a no-content 204, with an empty JSON body. As a quick fix, it seems if I just set the body to an empty object when it is undefined on this line, then it passes.
