To iterate over the elements of a current subject, use the .each()
command.
cy.get('.connectors-each-ul>li')
.each(function($el, index, $list){
console.log($el, index, $list)
})
To get the properties on the current subject, use the .its()
command.
cy.get('.connectors-its-ul>li')
// calls the 'length' property returning that value
.its('length')
.should('be.gt', 2)
To invoke a function on a current subject, use the .invoke()
command.
cy.get('.connectors-div').should('be.hidden')
// call the jquery method 'show' on the 'div.container'
.invoke('show')
.should('be.visible')
To spread an array as individual arguments to a callback function, use the .spread()
command.
const arr = ['foo', 'bar', 'baz']
cy.wrap(arr).spread(function(foo, bar, baz){
expect(foo).to.eq('foo')
expect(bar).to.eq('bar')
expect(baz).to.eq('baz')
})
To invoke a callback function with the current subject, use the .then()
command.
cy.get('.connectors-list>li').then(function($lis){
expect($lis).to.have.length(3)
expect($lis.eq(0)).to.contain('Walk the dog')
expect($lis.eq(1)).to.contain('Feed the cat')
expect($lis.eq(2)).to.contain('Write JavaScript')
})
If the callback function returns a value, it is yielded to the next callback, just like in a Promise callback.
cy.wrap(1)
.then((num) => {
expect(num).to.equal(1)
return 2
})
.then((num) => {
expect(num).to.equal(2)
})
But unlike a Promise, if undefined
is returned, then the original value passed into the .then(cb)
is yielded to the next callback.
cy.wrap(1)
.then((num) => {
expect(num).to.equal(1)
// note that nothing is returned from this callback
})
.then((num) => {
// this callback receives the original unchanged value 1
expect(num).to.equal(1)
})
If there are Cypress commands in the .then(cb)
callback, then the value yielded by the last command will be passed to the next callback.
cy.wrap(1)
.then((num) => {
expect(num).to.equal(1)
// note how we run a Cypress command
// the result yielded by this Cypress command
// will be passed to the second ".then"
cy.wrap(2)
})
.then((num) => {
// this callback receives the value yielded by "cy.wrap(2)"
expect(num).to.equal(2)
})
