How to find button element in a table grid

Question

I am a newbie to cypress. I have a table of users and each row there is edit button. I want to find particular user by email and click on the edit button in that row. Can you please help me locating edit button for my Cypress test?

Answer 1

So you can do is something like this. First, get the parent row tr for the email and then inside that row, get the Edit button and click it.

cy.contains('td', 'joe9.smith@yourdomain.co.nz')
  .parent('tr')
  .children('td')
  .find('a')
  .click()
