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​

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:
