Method: Playwright::Page#wait_for_selector

Defined in:

lib/playwright_api/page.rb

#wait_for_selector(selector, state: nil, timeout: nil) ⇒ Object

Returns when element specified by selector satisfies ‘state` option. Returns `null` if waiting for `hidden` or `detached`.

Wait for the ‘selector` to satisfy `state` option (either appear/disappear from dom, or become visible/hidden). If at the moment of calling the method `selector` already satisfies the condition, the method will return immediately. If the selector doesn’t satisfy the condition for the ‘timeout` milliseconds, the function will throw.

This method works across navigations:

“‘js const { chromium } = require(’playwright’); // Or ‘firefox’ or ‘webkit’.

(async () => {

const browser = await chromium.launch();
const page = await browser.newPage();
for (let currentURL of ['https://google.com', 'https://bbc.com']) {
  await page.goto(currentURL);
  const element = await page.waitForSelector('img');
  console.log('Loaded image: ' + await element.getAttribute('src'));
}
await browser.close();

})(); “‘
