  cy.get('div:nth-child(1) > div:nth-child(1) > div.MuiGrid-root.MuiGrid-item.MuiGrid-grid-xs-6 > div > span.MuiChip-label').then(($today) => {
    
    const today=$today.text()
    cy.log("today")
    cy.log(today.charAt(0))
  })

  cy.get('div:nth-child(1) > div:nth-child(2) > div.MuiGrid-root.MuiGrid-item.MuiGrid-grid-xs-6 > div > span.MuiChip-label').then(($tomorrow,today) => {
    const tom=$tomorrow.text()
    cy.log("tomorrow")
    cy.log(tom.charAt(0))
  })

I want to add today.charAt(0) and tom.CharAt(0), how can I do this in second then block?

  • Just note that this question is about Javascript's closures. It is better asked in Stack Overflow rather than SQA Stack Exchange.

  • Can a value be returned from then to be used by another function.

It's mentioned in the documentation mentioned in the comment section, I recommend reading it. Specifically, you can read this part about closures.

What you can do is to put the other cy.get() inside the first one:

cy
  .get('...')
  .then($today => {
    
    cy
      .get('...')
      .then($tomorrow => {
        // you have access to both $today and $tomorrow
    });
});

I shortened the code (e.g. didn't use the long selectors) in order to focus on the main point.
