cy.hash(options)

Usage

Correct Usage

cy.hash() // Get the url hash

Arguments

options (Object)

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

cy.hash( options )

Yields

When the current URL contains a hash:

• cy.hash() "yields the current URL's hash (including the # character)"

When the current URL does not contain a hash:

• cy.hash() "yields an empty string"

Examples

No Args

Assert that hash is #/users/1 given remote URL: http://localhost:8000/app/#/users/1

// yields #/users/1
cy.hash().should('eq', '#/users/1') // => true

Assert that the hash matches via RegExp

<ul id="users">
  <li>
    <a href="#/users/8fc45b67-d2e5-465a-b822-b281d9c8e4d1">Fred</a>
  </li>
</ul>

cy.get('#users li').find('a').click()
cy.hash().should('match', /users\/.+$/) // => true

Rules

Requirements

• cy.hash() requires being chained off of cy .

Assertions

• cy.hash() will automatically retry until all chained assertions have passed

Timeouts

• cy.hash() can time out waiting for assertions you've added to pass.

Command Log

Assert that the hash matches #users/new

cy.hash().should('eq', '#users/new')

The commands above will display in the Command Log as:

When clicking on hash within the command log, the console outputs the following:
