siblings

Get sibling DOM elements.

Syntax

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

Usage

Correct Usage

cy.get('td').siblings() // Yield all td's siblings
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.clock().siblings() // Errors, 'clock' does not yield DOM elements

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().

Yields

• .siblings() yields the new DOM element(s) it found.
• .siblings() is a query, and it is safe to chain further commands.

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 all chained assertions have passed

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

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

The commands above will display in the Command Log as:

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