last

Get the last DOM element within a set of DOM elements.

The querying behavior of this command matches exactly how .last() works in jQuery.

Syntax

.last()
.last(options)

Usage

Correct Usage

cy.get('nav a').last() // Yield last link in nav

Incorrect Usage

cy.last() // Errors, cannot be chained off 'cy'
cy.getCookies().last() // Errors, 'getCookies' does not yield DOM element

Arguments

options (Object)

Pass in an options object to change the default behavior of .last().

Option	Default	Description
`log`	`true`	Displays the command in the Command log
`timeout`	`defaultCommandTimeout`	Time to wait for `.last()` to resolve before timing out

Yields

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

Examples

No Args

Get the last list item in a list

<ul>
  <li class="one">Knick knack on my thumb</li>
  <li class="two">Knick knack on my shoe</li>
  <li class="three">Knick knack on my knee</li>
  <li class="four">Knick knack on my door</li>
</ul>

// yields <li class="four">Knick knack on my door</li>
cy.get('li').last()

Rules

Requirements

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

Assertions

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

Timeouts

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