How to get child of a specific parent element in Cypress
When using Cypress for frontend testing, retrieving child elements of a specific parent element is a common requirement. Cypress provides multiple methods to achieve this, and I will introduce several commonly used methods along with relevant examples.Method One: UsingThe method can search for child elements within a selected DOM element. This is one of the most straightforward methods.Example:Consider the following HTML list with multiple list items:To select all elements under the , you can do the following:Here, first selects the element with ID , and then finds all child elements .Method Two: UsingThe method retrieves all direct child elements of an element, which also applies to obtaining child elements of a specific parent element.Example:Using the same HTML structure:Here, first selects the element, and then retrieves its direct child elements (i.e., all elements).Method Three: Using to Select a Specific Child ElementSometimes we only need to retrieve a specific child element from a set of child elements, and we can use the method, which allows us to select a specific child element by index.Example:Here, first finds all child elements, selects the second element (index starts from 0), and then verifies that it contains the text "Read Cypress documentation".ConclusionBy using these methods, we can flexibly and efficiently retrieve and manipulate child elements of specific parent elements in Cypress, supporting complex DOM structure testing. Each method is suitable for different scenarios, so you can choose the appropriate method based on your needs.
