Using cypress.io I can get a list of HTML elements matching a given CSS selector like so:

cypress.get(".some-class")

If no elements having the class 'some-class' are found on the page, the test fails. This is by design.

I would like to try to get a list of HTML elements as above, but not to fail the test if the number of elements is 0.

How can I achieve this using cypress.io?

javascript cypress

  Thanks. This might do it for me: docs.cypress.io/guides/core-concepts/… . Keeping in mind the jquery API does not have cypress' "wait loop"

You can do it following way.This will keep your test alive.

describe('test check element', function () 
 it('testSelector reload', function () 
 cy.visit('https://docs.cypress.io/api/utilities/$.html#Usage')
 let found = false
 let count=0
 while (!found) 

 const nonExistent = Cypress.$('.fake-selector')

 if (!nonExistent.length) 
 cy.reload()
 found = false
 count=count+1
 cy.wait(1000)
 if(count==5)
 
 found = true
 cy.log('Element not found after 5 seconds..Exit from loop!!!')
 
 else 
 found = true
 
 
 )
 )
