Find the element next to .second
<ul> <li>apples</li> <li class="second">oranges</li> <li>bananas</li> </ul> // yields <li>bananas</li> cy.get('.second').next()Testing a datalist
<input list="fruit" /> <datalist id="fruit"> <option>Apple</option> <option>Banana</option> <option>Cantaloupe</option> </datalist> cy.get('#fruit option') .first() .should('have.text', 'Apple') .next() .should('have.text', 'Banana') .next() .should('have.text', 'Cantaloupe')Selector
Find the very next sibling of each li. Keep only the ones with a class selected
<ul> <li>apples</li> <li>oranges</li> <li>bananas</li> <li class="selected">pineapples</li> </ul> // yields <li>pineapples</li> cy.get('li').next('.selected')Rules
Requirements
- .next() requires being chained off a command that yields DOM element(s).
Assertions
- .next() will automatically retry until the element(s) exist in the DOM
- .next() will automatically retry until all chained assertions have passed
Timeouts
- .next() can time out waiting for the element(s) to exist in the DOM .
- .next() can time out waiting for assertions you've added to pass.
Command Log
