Syntax

.blur()
.blur(options)

Usage

{% fa fa-check-circle green %} Correct Usage

cy.get('[type="email"]').type('me@email.com').blur() // Blur email input
cy.get('[tabindex="1"]').focus().blur()              // Blur el with tabindex

{% fa fa-exclamation-triangle red %} Incorrect Usage

cy.blur('input')              // Errors, cannot be chained off 'cy'
cy.window().blur()            // Errors, 'window' does not yield DOM element

Arguments

{% fa fa-angle-right %} options (Object)

Pass in an options object to change the default behavior of .blur.

Option	Default	Description
log	true	{% usage_options log %}

Examples

Blur

Blur the comment input.

cy.get('[name="comment"]').type('Nice Product!').blur()

Blur the first input

Setting force to true in the options disables checking whether the input is focusable or currently has focus.

cy.get('input:first').blur({ force: true })

Rules

Requirements {% helper_icon requirements %}

{% requirements blurability .blur %}

Assertions {% helper_icon assertions %}

{% assertions wait .blur %}

Timeouts {% helper_icon timeout %}

{% timeouts assertions .blur %}

Notes

.blur() can time out because your browser did not receive any blur events.

If you see this error, you may want to ensure that the main browser window is currently focused. This means not being focused in debugger or any other window when the command is run.
