Cypress bundles the popular Chai assertion library, as well as helpful extensions for Eddany Carillon Canvas Bag Eddany three Carillon Tote words ZqwER4z and jQuery, bringing you dozens of powerful assertions for free.
New to Cypress?http://chaijs.com/This document is only a reference to every assertion Cypress supports.
If you’re looking to understand how to use these assertions please read about assertions in our Introduction to Cypress.

These chainers are available when asserting about a DOM object.
You will commonly use these chainers after using DOM commands like: Zipper Shoulder Shoulder Bags Dacron Handbag Bag Handbag Shoulder Women'S Bags 5B8qv1, cy.contains()
, etc.
Chainers | Assertion |
---|---|
attr( name, [value]) | expect($el).to.have.attr('foo', 'bar') |

match( selector ) | expect($emptyEl).to.match(':empty') |
contain( text ) | expect($el).to.contain('text') |
descendants( selector ) | expect($el).to.have.descendants('div') |
These chainers are used on assertions with cy.stub()
and cy.spy()
.

Because we are using chai
, that means you can extend it however you’d like. Cypress will automatically “just work” with new assertions added to chai
. You can simply:
- Write your own
chai
assertions as documented here. - …or NPM install any existing
chai
library and import into your test file or support file.
Check out our example recipe extending chai with new assertions.
Here is a list of common element assertions.
Notice how we use these assertions (listed above) with Shoulder Pink Bag Light Pastel Mayfair Pink Women’s Hugo Shopper tSxwPz1Pq.
