Interface Locator


  • public interface Locator
    Locators are the central piece of Playwright's auto-waiting and retry-ability. In a nutshell, locators represent a way to find element(s) on the page at any moment. A locator can be created with the Page.locator() method.

    • Method Detail

      • all

        List<Locator> all()
        When the locator points to a list of elements, this returns an array of locators, pointing to their respective elements.

        NOTE: Locator.all() does not wait for elements to match the locator, and instead immediately returns whatever is present in the page. When the list of elements changes dynamically, Locator.all() will produce unpredictable and flaky results. When the list of elements is stable, but loaded dynamically, wait for the full list to finish loading before calling Locator.all().

        Usage

        
         for (Locator li : page.getByRole('listitem').all())
           li.click();

      • allInnerTexts

        List<String> allInnerTexts()
        Returns an array of node.innerText values for all matching nodes.

        NOTE: If you need to assert text on the page, prefer LocatorAssertions.hasText() with useInnerText option to avoid flakiness. See assertions guide for more details.

        Usage

        
         String[] texts = page.getByRole(AriaRole.LINK).allInnerTexts();
         
        Since:
        v1.14
      • allTextContents

        List<String> allTextContents()
        Returns an array of node.textContent values for all matching nodes.

        NOTE: If you need to assert text on the page, prefer LocatorAssertions.hasText() to avoid flakiness. See assertions guide for more details.

        Usage

        
         String[] texts = page.getByRole(AriaRole.LINK).allTextContents();

      • and

        Locator and​(Locator locator)
        Creates a locator that matches both this locator and the argument locator.

        Usage

        The following example finds a button with a specific title.

        
         Locator button = page.getByRole(AriaRole.BUTTON).and(page.getByTitle("Subscribe"));
         
        Parameters:
        locator - Additional locator to match.

      • boundingBox

        default BoundingBox boundingBox()
        This method returns the bounding box of the element matching the locator, or null if the element is not visible. The bounding box is calculated relative to the main frame viewport - which is usually the same as the browser window.

        Details

        Scrolling affects the returned bounding box, similarly to Element.getBoundingClientRect. That means x and/or y may be negative.

        Elements from child frames return the bounding box relative to the main frame, unlike the Element.getBoundingClientRect.

        Assuming the page is static, it is safe to use bounding box coordinates to perform input. For example, the following snippet should click the center of the element.

        Usage

        
         BoundingBox box = page.getByRole(AriaRole.BUTTON).boundingBox();
         page.mouse().click(box.x + box.width / 2, box.y + box.height / 2);

      • check

        default void check()
        Ensure that checkbox or radio element is checked.

        Details

        Performs the following steps:

        1. Ensure that element is a checkbox or a radio input. If not, this method throws. If the element is already checked, this method returns immediately.
        2. Wait for actionability checks on the element, unless force option is set.
        3. Scroll the element into view if needed.
        4. Use Page.mouse() to click in the center of the element.
        5. Wait for initiated navigations to either succeed or fail, unless noWaitAfter option is set.
        6. Ensure that the element is now checked. If not, this method throws.

        If the element is detached from the DOM at any moment during the action, this method throws.

        When all steps combined have not finished during the specified timeout, this method throws a TimeoutError. Passing zero timeout disables this.

        Usage

        
         locator.dispatchEvent("click");
         

        Details

        The snippet above dispatches the click event on the element. Regardless of the visibility state of the element, click is dispatched. This is equivalent to calling element.click().

        Under the hood, it creates an instance of an event based on the given type, initializes it with eventInit properties and dispatches it on the element. Events are composed, cancelable and bubble by default.

        Since eventInit is event-specific, please refer to the events documentation for the lists of initial properties:

        You can also specify JSHandle as the property value if you want live objects to be passed into the event:

        
         // Note you can only create DataTransfer in Chromium and Firefox
         JSHandle dataTransfer = page.evaluateHandle("() => new DataTransfer()");
         Map<String, Object> arg = new HashMap<>();
         arg.put("dataTransfer", dataTransfer);
         locator.dispatchEvent("dragstart", arg);

        Matching by text always normalizes whitespace, even with exact match. For example, it turns multiple spaces into one, turns line breaks into spaces and ignores leading and trailing whitespace.

        Input elements of the type button and submit are matched by their value instead of the text content. For example, locating by text "Log in" matches <input type=button value="Log in">.

        Parameters:
        text - Text to locate the element for.

        Usage

        Consider the following DOM structure:

        You can locate by text substring, exact string, or a regular expression:

        
         // Matches <span>
         page.getByText("world")
        
         // Matches first <div>
         page.getByText("Hello world")
        
         // Matches second <div>

        Details

        This method hovers over the element by performing the following steps:

        1. Wait for actionability checks on the element, unless force option is set.
        2. Scroll the element into view if needed.
        3. Use Page.mouse() to hover over the center of the element, or the specified position.
        4. Wait for initiated navigations to either succeed or fail, unless noWaitAfter option is set.

        If the element is detached from the DOM at any moment during the action, this method throws.

        Usage

        
         page.getByRole(AriaRole.TEXTBOX).press("Backspace");
         

        Details

        Focuses the element, and then uses Keyboard.down() and Keyboard.up().

        key can specify the intended keyboardEvent.key value or a single character to generate the text for. A superset of the key values can be found here. Examples of the keys are:

        F1 - F12, Digit0- Digit9, KeyA- KeyZ, Backquote, Minus, Equal, Backslash, Backspace, Tab, Delete, Escape, ArrowDown, End, Enter, Home, Insert, PageDown, PageUp, ArrowRight, ArrowUp, etc.

        Following modification shortcuts are also supported: Shift, Control, Alt, Meta, ShiftLeft, ControlOrMeta. ControlOrMeta resolves to Control on Windows and Linux and to Meta on macOS.

        Holding down Shift will type the text that corresponds to the key in the upper case.

        If key is a single character, it is case-sensitive, so the values a and A will generate different respective texts.

        Shortcuts such as key: "Control+o", key: "Control++ or key: "Control+Shift+T" are supported as well. When specified with the modifier, modifier is pressed and being held while the subsequent key is being pressed.

        Parameters:

        default void pressSequentially​(String text)
        NOTE: In most cases, you should use Locator.fill() instead. You only need to press keys one by one if there is special keyboard handling on the page.

        Focuses the element, and then sends a keydown, keypress/input, and keyup event for each character in the text.

        To press a special key, like Control or ArrowDown, use Locator.press().

        Usage

        Details

        This method captures a screenshot of the page, clipped to the size and position of a particular element matching the locator. If the element is covered by other elements, it will not be actually visible on the screenshot. If the element is a scrollable container, only the currently scrolled content will be visible on the screenshot.

        This method waits for the actionability checks, then scrolls element into view before taking a screenshot. If the element is detached from DOM, the method throws an error.

      • tap

        default void tap()
        Perform a tap gesture on the element matching the locator.

        Details

        This method taps the element by performing the following steps:

        1. Wait for actionability checks on the element, unless force option is set.
        2. Scroll the element into view if needed.
        3. Use Page.touchscreen() to tap the center of the element, or the specified position.
        4. Wait for initiated navigations to either succeed or fail, unless noWaitAfter option is set.

        If the element is detached from the DOM at any moment during the action, this method throws.

        When all steps combined have not finished during the specified timeout, this method throws a TimeoutError. Passing zero timeout disables this.

        NOTE: element.tap() requires that the hasTouch option of the browser context be set to true.
