Get the length of element matches from the get command

[chrisenitan]

Using the Cypress get command in the test runner, cypress outputs the amount of element matches found for the selector asked for. Is there a way to get this value or length?

• Tried to but could not via the console output array

You can use the length property

cy.get('button').its('length').should('eq', 4)
cy.get('button').its('length').then((length) => {
  expect(length).to.eq(4)
})
cy.get('button').then(($buttons) => {
  expect($buttons.length).to.eq(4)
})

Thanks, but I was looking more at a debugging approach so not really an assertion but more of getting the actual match value returned (if it is). So what I would be looking for is something like:

cy.get("#button").match("length")

..then I can use this however
