Notes

Actionability

The element must first reach actionability

.uncheck() is an "action command" that follows all the rules of Actionability.

Rules

Requirements

• `.uncheck()` requires being chained off a command that yields DOM element(s).
• .uncheck() requires the element to have type `checkbox`.

Assertions

• `.uncheck()` will automatically wait for the element to reach an [actionable state](/guides/core-concepts/interacting-with-elements)
• `.uncheck()` will automatically [retry](/guides/core-concepts/retry-ability) until all chained assertions have passed

Timeouts

• `.uncheck()` can time out waiting for the element to reach an [actionable state](/guides/core-concepts/interacting-with-elements).
• `.uncheck()` can time out waiting for assertions you've added to pass.

Command Log

Uncheck the first checkbox

cy.get('[data-js="choose-all"]')
  .click()
  .find('input[type="checkbox"]')
  .first()
  .uncheck()

The commands above will display in the Command Log as:

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