Give feedback. If the selector doesn't satisfy the condition for the timeout milliseconds, the function will throw. The difference between the Locator and ElementHandle is that the latter points to a particular element, while Locator captures the logic of how to retrieve that element.. This means that if the DOM changes in between the calls due to re-render, the new element corresponding to the locator will be used. This method does not work across navigations, use page.waitForSelector() instead. If at the moment of calling the method selector already satisfies the condition, the method will return immediately. Attribute selectors pierce shadow DOM. This will find the first button, because it is the first one in DOM order. It looks like you're attempting to click on the SVG
element, which is not a visible element. await expect(base).toContainText(text); The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered: It looks like you're attempting to click on the SVG
element, which is not a visible element. Playwright augments standard CSS selectors in two ways: There are two ways of selecting only visible elements with Playwright: If you prefer your selectors to be CSS and don't want to rely on chaining selectors, use :visible pseudo class like so: input:visible. This method expects ElementHandle to point to an input element. However, if the element is inside the
element that has an associated control, the control will be filled instead. not empty, no display:none, no visibility:hidden; wait for it to stop moving, for example, until css transition finishes; . All, Chromium, Firefox, WebKit] Chromium. Locate an item by the role of "listitem" and then filter by the text of "orange" and then click it. You can always ignore this by saying await locator.dispatchEvent('click'), but I would explore what's happening with the page and why the element that you can see is considered invisible. Usually I see retries in the inspector (or when using. There are many ways to make element not really visible, and we won't be able to account for all of them. If not, this method throws. For example, consider the following DOM structure. playwright selector resolved to hidden Looking at the screenshot, my guess is that the radio button circle is hidden with css and playwright is waiting for the circle to be visible. Is there any chance we could have a shared session where I show you the problem we are facing? Is there a chance you share a reduced test case with us? This behavior is indistinguishable from a bug where element gets covered and the click is dispatched elsewhere. Except for some edge cases (for example, the body is always visible, input=hidden are always hidden, elements in overflow and other rules) the algorithm checks that the element has height and width greater than 0px (by default, also non-zero opacity), that its visibility is not "hidden" and that its display property is not "none". article:has-text("Playwright") - the :has-text() pseudo-class can be used inside a css selector. Although maybe it makes no difference. Option is considered matching if all specified properties match. That would be much better than me pasting pictures. The script is evaluated in the page context. And then locate the element as you would normally do: If you absolutely must use CSS or XPath locators, you can use page.locator() to create a locator that takes a selector describing how to find an element in the page. The bounding box is calculated relative to the main frame viewport - which is usually the same as the browser window. Locate an item by it's test id of "orange" and then click it. Read a file one line at a time in node.js? This example is equivalent to text="Home" (note quotes), but inside the #nav-bar element. This method captures a screenshot of the page, clipped to the size and position of this particular element. Hey @yury-s, you can reproduce with this script below. To reliably issue the second mouse move, repeat your mouse.move() or locator.hover() twice. Every time a locator is used for an action, an up-to-date DOM element is located in the page. Locate the element by its role of button with name "Sign in". You can fill the input after locating it by the label text: Use this locator when locating form fields. By Diogo Nunes. For example, the following call throws if there are several buttons in the DOM: On the other hand, Playwright understands when you perform a multiple-element operation, so the following call works perfectly fine when the locator resolves to multiple elements. Defaults to false. The page.getByRole() locator reflects how users and assistive technology perceive the page, for example whether some element is a button or a checkbox. Throws for non-input elements. Long CSS or XPath chains below are an example of a bad practice that leads to unstable tests: CSS and XPath are not recommended as the DOM can often change leading to non resilient tests. Reference core Testing Library documentation/principles in documentation, [chromium] tests/web/vacation.bidaward.defaults.spec.po.new.js:14:9 Bid and award Default page verification Default page verification. not empty, no, wait for it to stop moving, for example, until css transition finishes, wait for it to receive pointer events at the action point, for example, waits until element becomes non-obscured by other elements, retry if the element is detached during any of the above checks, You can alternatively specify a single character you'd like to produce such as. I suggest you try to debug your tests using Playwright's robust debugging capabilities before opening an issue here: SVG
