.prevAll(selector, options)
Usage

Examples
No Args
Find all of the element's siblings before .third
<ul>
<li>apples</li>
<li>oranges</li>
<li class="third">bananas</li>
<li>pineapples</li>
<li>grapes</li>
</ul>
// yields [<li>apples</li>, <li>oranges</li>]
cy.get('.third').prevAll()
Selector
Find all of the previous siblings of each li. Keep only the ones with a class selected
<ul>
<li>apples</li>
<li>oranges</li>
<li>bananas</li>
<li class="selected">pineapples</li>
<li>grapes</li>
</ul>
// yields <li>pineapples</li>
cy.get('li').prevAll('.selected')
Rules
Requirements
- `.prevAll()` requires being chained off a command that yields DOM element(s).
Assertions
- `.prevAll()` will automatically [retry](/guides/core-concepts/retry-ability) until the element(s) [exist in the DOM](/guides/core-concepts/introduction-to-cypress#Default-Assertions)
- `.prevAll()` will automatically [retry](/guides/core-concepts/retry-ability) until all chained assertions have passed
Timeouts
- `.prevAll()` can time out waiting for the element(s) to [exist in the DOM](/guides/core-concepts/introduction-to-cypress#Default-Assertions).
- `.prevAll()` can time out waiting for assertions you've added to pass.
Command Log
