last

Get the last DOM element within a set of DOM elements.

The querying behavior of this command matches exactly how .last() works in jQuery.

Syntax

.last()
.last(options)

Usage

Correct Usage

cy.get('nav a').last()     // Yield last link in nav

Incorrect Usage

cy.last()                  // Errors, cannot be chained off 'cy'
cy.getCookies().last()     // Errors, 'getCookies' does not yield DOM element

Arguments

options (Object)

Pass in an options object to change the default behavior of .last().

Option Default Description
log true Displays the command in the Command log
timeout defaultCommandTimeout Time to wait for .last() to resolve before timing out

Yields

  • .last() yields the new DOM element(s) it found.

Examples

No Args

Get the last list item in a list

<ul>
  <li class="one">Knick knack on my thumb</li>
  <li class="two">Knick knack on my shoe</li>
  <li class="three">Knick knack on my knee</li>
  <li class="four">Knick knack on my door</li>
</ul>
// yields <li class="four">Knick knack on my door</li>
cy.get('li').last()

Rules

Requirements

  • .last() requires being chained off a command that yields DOM element(s).

Assertions

  • .last() will automatically retry until the element(s) exist in the DOM.

  • .last() will automatically retry until assertions you've chained all pass.

Timeouts

  • .last() can time out waiting for the element(s) to exist in the DOM.

  • .last() can time out waiting for assertions you've added to pass.

Command Log

cy.get('form').find('button').last()

The commands above will display in the Command Log as:

When clicking on last within the command log, the console outputs the following:
