The querying behavior of this command matches exactly how
.prevUntil()works in jQuery.
Syntax
.prevUntil(selector) .prevUntil(selector, filter) .prevUntil(selector, filter, options) .prevUntil(element) .prevUntil(element, filter) .prevUntil(element, filter, options)
Usage
Correct Usage
cy.get('p').prevUntil('.intro') // Yield siblings before 'p' until '.intro'
Incorrect Usage
cy.prevUntil() // Errors, cannot be chained off 'cy'
cy.location().prevUntil('path') // Errors, 'location' does not yield DOM element
Arguments

filter (String selector)

Examples
Selector
Find all of the element’s siblings before #nuts until #veggies
<ul> <li id="fruits" class="header">Fruits</li> <li>apples</li> <li>oranges</li> <li>bananas</li> <li id="veggies" class="header">Vegetables</li> <li>cucumbers</li> <li>carrots</li> <li>corn</li> <li id="nuts" class="header">Nuts</li> <li>walnuts</li> <li>cashews</li> <li>almonds</li> </ul>
