prevAll

Get all previous siblings of each DOM element in a set of matched DOM elements.

Syntax

.prevAll()
.prevAll(selector)
.prevAll(options)
.prevAll(selector, options)

Usage

Correct Usage

cy.get('.active').prevAll() // Yield all links previous to `.active`

Incorrect Usage

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

Yields

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

Examples

No Args

Find all of the element's siblings before .third

<ul>
  <li>apples</li>
  <li>oranges</li>
  <li class="third">bananas</li>
  <li>pineapples</li>
  <li>grapes</li>
</ul>

// yields [<li>apples</li>, <li>oranges</li>]
cy.get('.third').prevAll()

Selector

Find all of the previous siblings of each li. Keep only the ones with a class selected

<ul>
  <li>apples</li>
  <li>oranges</li>
  <li>bananas</li>
  <li class="selected">pineapples</li>
  <li>grapes</li>
</ul>

// yields <li>pineapples</li>
cy.get('li').prevAll('.selected')

Rules

Requirements

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

Assertions

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

Timeouts

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

Command Log
