.siblings(selector)
.siblings(options)
.siblings(selector, options)

Usage

Correct Usage

cy.get('li').siblings('.active')  // Yield all li's siblings with class '.active'

Incorrect Usage

cy.siblings('.error')     // Errors, cannot be chained off 'cy'
cy.location().siblings()  // Errors, 'location' does not yield DOM element

Arguments

selector (String selector)

A selector used to filter matching DOM elements.

options (Object)

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

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

Yields

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

Examples

No Args

Get the siblings of each li

<ul>
  <li>Home</li>
  <li>Contact</li>
  <li class="active">Services</li>
  <li>Price</li>
</ul>
// yields all other li's in list
cy.get('.active').siblings()

Selector

Get siblings of element with class active

// yields <li class="active">Services</li>
cy.get('li').siblings('.active')

Rules

Requirements

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

Assertions

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

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

Timeouts

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

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

Command Log

Get the siblings of element with class active

cy.get('.left-nav').find('li.active').siblings()

The commands above will display in the Command Log as:

Command Log siblings

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