I need a way to skip a test block in Cypress based on the evaluation of IF/ELSE condition. Below is the code that I have

it("Website testing",function(){
        cy.request({
            method: 'GET',
            url: "http://127.0.0.1:5000/isIPv6",
            timeout:300000
        }).then(network_result => {
            cy.log(network_result.body)
            if(network_result.body.isIPv6 == false)
            {
               statements
            }
            else
            {
                cy.log("IPv6 device, stopping the test")
                this.skip()
             }
         })
})

the above code snippet dosent work because this.skip() is a synchronous statement, and cypress gives error for it.

I have also tried it.skip(), throw() but its not useful in this case. I need a method wherein I could skip the test execution/block when execution control comes to else block, and send the test to skipped/pending state.

I see you have the it(title, function() {...} pattern which allows access and modification to this, but you probably also need to apply it to the callback in .then()

it("Website testing", function() {
  cy.request({
    ...
  }).then(function(network_result) {
    ...
    else {
      ...
      this.skip()
    }
  })
})

Just noticed the skip() is inside the it(), but you should skip the test before it() starts, so possibly

beforeEach(function() {
  cy.request({
    ...
  }).then(function(network_result) {
    ...
    else {
      ...
      this.skip()
    }
  })
})

it('skipped if the beforeEach calls "this.skip()"', () => {
  ...
})
