info

.nextUntil(selector, filter)
.nextUntil(selector, filter, options)
.nextUntil(element)
.nextUntil(element, filter)
.nextUntil(element, filter, options)

Usage​

Correct Usage

cy.get('div').nextUntil('.warning') // Yield siblings after 'div' until '.warning'

Incorrect Usage

cy.nextUntil() // Errors, cannot be chained off 'cy'

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

Examples​

Selector​

Find all of the element's siblings following #veggies until #nuts​

<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>
//returns [<li>cucumbers</li>, <li>carrots</li>, <li>corn</li>]
cy.get('#veggies').nextUntil('#nuts')

Rules​

Requirements ​

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

Assertions ​

  • .nextUntil() will automatically retry until the element(s) exist in the DOM.
  • .nextUntil() will automatically retry until all chained assertions have passed.

Timeouts ​

  • .nextUntil() can time out waiting for the element(s) to exist in the DOM.
  • .nextUntil() can time out waiting for assertions you've added to pass.

Command Log​

Find all of the element's siblings following #veggies until #nuts

cy.get('#veggies').nextUntil('#nuts')

The commands above will display in the Command Log as:
