How to check if the element with visibility exists or not cypress

Is there any way to check if the element with visibility exists or not

cy.get("[data-ta='member_account_switch']:visible")

event though there are two elements with same data key exists on the dom but both are not visible I just want to check if the visible element exists or not

cy.get("[data-ta='member_account_switch']:visible").should('not.exists')

this above statement does not work as cy.get("[data-ta='member_account_switch']:visible") is trying to find the element. and I get the below error

Timed out retrying: Expected to find element: [data-ta='member_account_switch']:visible, but never found it.

can someone help here? Thanks

You are doing it wrong in both the cases. You should write like below. cy.get() method takes only locators. In your case the locator is [data-ta='member_account_switch'] and on top of that you have to check it's property.

cy.get("[data-ta='member_account_switch']").should('be.visible')

Please read about Cypress and how to use these before posting simple things here.
