drag and drop using .contains and .eq commands

[qa-joerg]

Hi,
I installed this API for our application to test the drag and drop features of our application. Unfortunately there is only the possibility to use unique selectors. Our application has partly same selectors which can only be selected by contains or by index and the command eq.

Is there a possibility to work with this commands, e.g. like this:

        cy.get("selectorA").eq(1).drag("selectorB").eq(2);
        cy.get("selectorA").contains("start").drag("selectorB").contains("end");

Or is there any workaround I can use to drag from selectorA to selectorB?

Thank you
Best
Joerg

I'm struggling with the same issue. I wish we could indicate the targeting using chaining, the same way we do the source.

Any news on this?

You can achieve this with aliases:

cy.get("selectorA").eq(1).as("source");
cy.get("selectorB").contains("end").as("target");
cy.get("@source").drag("@target");
