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();
        Since:
        v1.29

      • 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();
        Since:
        v1.14

      • 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.

      • blur

        default void blur()
        Calls blur on the element.
        Since:
        v1.28

      • 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);
        Since:
        v1.14

      • boundingBox

        BoundingBox boundingBox​(Locator.BoundingBoxOptions options)

      • 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.

      • clear

        default void clear()
        Clear the input field.

        Details

        This method waits for actionability checks, focuses the element, clears it and triggers an input event after clearing.

        If the target element is not an <input>, <textarea> or [contenteditable] element, this method throws an error. However, if the element is inside the <label> element that has an associated control, the control will be cleared instead.

      • dispatchEvent

        default void dispatchEvent​(String type,
                           Object eventInit)
        Programmatically dispatch an event on the matching element.

        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);
        Parameters:
        type - DOM event type: "click", "dragstart", etc.
        eventInit - Optional event-specific initialization properties.

      • hover

        default void hover()
        Hover over the matching element.

        Usage 

        
 page.getByRole(AriaRole.LINK).hover();

        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.

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

        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:
        key - Name of the key to press or a character to generate, such as ArrowLeft or a.

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