  • 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:

Command Log for hash

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