how to use :not selector in symfony's css selector component

Question

I want to simulate what I can achieve in jQuery by $('.someClass:not(.hidden)')

I tried below code.

$crawler->filter('someClass:not(.hidden)')

but it seems not working

You're missing a dot before `someClass`. Fix it and let us know if the issue still exists. — Jakub Matczak, Jun 13 '17 at 11:24

@RukmiPatel here OP is asking for symphony's css selector component, the link you provided is for jquery.. — Nishant Solanki, Jun 13 '17 at 11:25
@HatemTito as per the docs from symphony website there are several pseudo elements which are not supported by css selector, though there is no any reference for `:not`.. https://symfony.com/doc/current/components/css_selector.html — Nishant Solanki, Jun 13 '17 at 11:28
i checked the documentation first and thought that `:not` is not supported but i was not sure so i asked here but i was missing actually a dot @NishantSolanki — Hatem Said, Jun 13 '17 at 11:31

You are missing a dot before someClass.

Try with:

$crawler->filter('.someClass:not(.hidden)')
