Unable to intercept a request using Glob pattern matching

[zahlia]

I am wondering why I am not able to intercept a network request using the below:

it.only('cy.request() - test for request', () => {

    cy.intercept('GET', '**/b/ss/**').as('smetrics')
    cy.wait('@smetrics')



})

To test if this works I have also done the below:

Cypress.minimatch('https://smetrics.test.com.au/b/ss/test/10/JS-2.14.0/s9458786218701?AQB=1&ndh=1&pf=1&callback=s_c_il[1].doPostbacks&et=1&t=2%2F7%2F2021%2014%3A54%3A9%201%20-600&d.&nsid=0&jsonv=1&.d&sdid=7A24E5E2C11013D4-7C9F5E6A14234E0A&mid=eer&aamlh=8&vmt=4BD129AD&ce=UTF-8&ns=test&cdp=3&pageName=in%3Aami%3Ahomepage&g=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.test.com.au%2F&events=event136&v1=in%test%3Ahomepage&c4=in%test%3Ahomepage&pe=lnk_o&pev2=iva%20%7C%20loads&s=1920x1080&c=24&j=1.6&v=N&k=Y&bw=1000&bh=660&mcorgid=223234B85278553C0A490D44%40AdobeOrg&lrt=75&AQE=1','**/b/ss/**')
