Adds failing e2e test for #4737

[schiller-manuel]

would it make sense to return something else per invocation? so that we can count how often the function was called. like increasing a counter?

[alvarosevilla95]

would it make sense to return something else per invocation? so that we can count how often the function was called. like increasing a counter?

I thought of this but I found it surprisingly not trivial to do elegantly, as I don't think I can access the return value from next in the middleware itself.

I can add a global variable like this? But that is going to be fragile when called multiple times (hence the added condition to reset the count when it reaches 4...), I assume this is not what you're looking for, if you have a suggestion happy to apply it

[alvarosevilla95]

Or I guess I just ignore the type error and use the context like this... hard to check if the test is well formed without the ability to run it properly :D
