how can i test different prices for one article from GA4 event with Cypress end2end testing

Question

I'm trying to test if the correct data is being tracked by GA4. However, I have the problem that an article can have several prices depending on whether it is played on the integration environment or on the production environment.

The getCorrectPrice command:

Cypress.Commands.add('getCorrectPrice', () => {
    cy.url().then(url => {
        const currentURL = url.split('/de/');
        const pathURL = currentURL[0];
        if(pathURL === environment.production)
        {
            return productData.product.trackedPrice.production
        } else {
            return productData.product.trackedPrice.integration
        }
    })
})

The Test:

it.only('should track add to cart on product detail page', function() {
        //data
        const expectedAddToCartEvent = {
            event: 'add_to_cart',
            ecommerce: {
                items: [
                    {
                        item_id: '000000',
                        item_name: 'product',
                        currency: 'EUR',
                        item_brand: 'goodbrand',
                        item_category: 'some Category',
                        item_category2: 'some Category 2',
                        price: cy.getCorrectPrice().then((price) => {
                            return price
                        }),
                        quantity: 1,
                    },
                ],
            },
        }

        //arrange
        cy.visitWithBasicAuth(routes.productDetail)
        
        //act
        cy.get(selectors.resultList.addToCartButton).eq(1).click({ force: true })
        
        //assert
        cy.wait('@addProduct').then(() => {
            cy.getSpecificEventFromDataLayer('add_to_cart').then(
                (actualAddToCartEvent) => {
                    cy.wrap(actualAddToCartEvent, { timeout: 0}).should(
                        spok(expectedAddToCartEvent),
                    )
                }
            )
        })
    })

My problem is that if I display the price in the console in the expectedAddToCartEvent, I get the correct price. However, when the test runs, the following error message appears: enter image description here

I've already tried to work with cy.wait and .then but it doesn't work

The problem is cy.getCorrectPrice() returns a Chainable value which you cannot assign to the price property.

Try this structure instead

it('should track add to cart on product detail page', function() {

  cy.getCorrectPrice().then(correctPrice => {

    const expectedAddToCartEvent = {
      event: 'add_to_cart',
      ecommerce: {
        items: [
          {
            item_id: '000000',
            item_name: 'product',
            currency: 'EUR',
            item_brand: 'goodbrand',
            item_category: 'some Category',
            item_category2: 'some Category 2',
            price: correctPrice,
            quantity: 1,
          },
        ],
      },
    }

    //arrange
    cy.visitWithBasicAuth(routes.productDetail)
        
    //act
    cy.get(selectors.resultList.addToCartButton).eq(1).click({ force: true })
        
    //assert
    cy.wait('@addProduct').then(() => {
      cy.getSpecificEventFromDataLayer('add_to_cart')
        .then((actualAddToCartEvent) => {
          cy.wrap(actualAddToCartEvent, { timeout: 0})
            .should(spok(expectedAddToCartEvent))
        })
    })
  })
})

how can i test different prices for one article from GA4 event with Cypress end2end testing
