Chaining after within: Return inner chainable?

Current behavior:

cy.get(`.parent`).within(() => cy.get(`.child`))

Yields the parent if I’m correct (?).

Desired behavior:

I’d expect the previous command to yields the selected child.

It would be very helpful so that when we have a function or a getter to retrieve an element we could chain them.

I think we will close for now but track if anyone else requests this feature.

Yeah, you could use .then() to return the inner “promise” https://on.cypress.io/then#Yields but then you’d have to scope the inner commands yourself, since you’d be losing the within scope.

Something like:

/// code
return DOM.card.self.then(($el) => cy.wrap($el).find(`.title`));
/// code
