Overview

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. Locator can be created with the [‘method: Page.locator`] method.

[Learn more about locators](../locators.md).

end

#bounding_box(timeout: nil) ⇒ Object

This method returns the bounding box of the element, 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.

Scrolling affects the returned bounding box, similarly to [Element.getBoundingClientRect](developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/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](developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/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.

“‘python sync box = element.bounding_box() page.mouse.click(box + box / 2, box + box / 2) “`

# File 'lib/playwright_api/locator.rb', line 40

def bounding_box(timeout: nil)
  wrap_impl(@impl.bounding_box(timeout: unwrap_impl(timeout)))
end

#check(force: nil, noWaitAfter: nil, position: nil, timeout: nil, trial: nil) ⇒ Object

This method checks the element by performing 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](../actionability.md) checks on the element, unless ‘force` option is set.

  3. Scroll the element into view if needed.

  4. Use [‘property: 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.

end

#clear(force: nil, noWaitAfter: nil, timeout: nil) ⇒ Object

This method waits for [actionability](../actionability.md) 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](developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/HTMLLabelElement/control), the control will be cleared instead.

end

#click(button: nil, clickCount: nil, delay: nil, force: nil, modifiers: nil, noWaitAfter: nil, position: nil, timeout: nil, trial: nil) ⇒ Object

This method clicks the element by performing the following steps:

  1. Wait for [actionability](../actionability.md) checks on the element, unless ‘force` option is set.

  2. Scroll the element into view if needed.

  3. Use [‘property: Page.mouse`] to click in 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.

#dblclick(button: nil, delay: nil, force: nil, modifiers: nil, noWaitAfter: nil, position: nil, timeout: nil, trial: nil) ⇒ Object

This method double clicks the element by performing the following steps:

  1. Wait for [actionability](../actionability.md) checks on the element, unless ‘force` option is set.

  2. Scroll the element into view if needed.

  3. Use [‘property: Page.mouse`] to double click in the center of the element, or the specified `position`.

  4. Wait for initiated navigations to either succeed or fail, unless ‘noWaitAfter` option is set. Note that if the first click of the `dblclick()` triggers a navigation event, this method will throw.

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.dblclick()` dispatches two `click` events and a single `dblclick` event.

end

#dispatch_event(type, eventInit: nil, timeout: nil) ⇒ Object

The snippet below 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()](developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/HTMLElement/click).

“‘python sync element.dispatch_event(“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:

“‘python sync # note you can only create data_transfer in chromium and firefox data_transfer = page.evaluate_handle(“new DataTransfer()”) element.dispatch_event(“#source”, “dragstart”, data_transfer) “`

end

#drag_to(target, force: nil, noWaitAfter: nil, sourcePosition: nil, targetPosition: nil, timeout: nil, trial: nil) ⇒ Object

This method drags the locator to another target locator or target position. It will first move to the source element, perform a ‘mousedown`, then move to the target element or position and perform a `mouseup`.

“‘python sync source = page.locator(“#source”) target = page.locator(“#target”)

source.drag_to(target) # or specify exact positions relative to the top-left corners of the elements: source.drag_to(

target,
source_position={"x": 34, "y": 7},
target_position={"x": 10, "y": 20}

) “‘

196
 
# File 'lib/playwright_api/locator.rb', line 194

def element_handles
  wrap_impl(@impl.element_handles)
end

Returns:

  • (Boolean)

def enabled?(timeout: nil)
  wrap_impl(@impl.enabled?(timeout: unwrap_impl(timeout)))
end

#evaluate(expression, arg: nil, timeout: nil) ⇒ Object

Returns the return value of ‘expression`.

This method passes this handle as the first argument to ‘expression`.

If ‘expression` returns a [Promise], then `handle.evaluate` would wait for the promise to resolve and return its value.

Examples:

“‘python sync tweets = page.locator(“.tweet .retweets”) assert tweets.evaluate(“node => node.innerText”) == “10 retweets” “`



210
211
212
 
# File 'lib/playwright_api/locator.rb', line 210

def evaluate(expression, arg: nil, timeout: nil)
  wrap_impl(@impl.evaluate(unwrap_impl(expression), arg: unwrap_impl(arg), timeout: unwrap_impl(timeout)))
end

#evaluate_all(expression, arg: nil) ⇒ Object

The method finds all elements matching the specified locator and passes an array of matched elements as a first argument to ‘expression`. Returns the result of `expression` invocation.

If ‘expression` returns a [Promise], then [`method: Locator.evaluateAll`] would wait for the promise to resolve and return its value.

Examples:

“‘python sync elements = page.locator(“div”) div_counts = elements(“(divs, min) => divs.length >= min”, 10) “`



226
227
228
 
# File 'lib/playwright_api/locator.rb', line 226

def evaluate_all(expression, arg: nil)
  wrap_impl(@impl.evaluate_all(unwrap_impl(expression), arg: unwrap_impl(arg)))
end

#evaluate_handle(expression, arg: nil, timeout: nil) ⇒ Object

Returns the return value of ‘expression` as a `JSHandle`.

This method passes this handle as the first argument to ‘expression`.

The only difference between [‘method: Locator.evaluate`] and [`method: Locator.evaluateHandle`] is that

‘method: Locator.evaluateHandle`

returns ‘JSHandle`.

If the function passed to the [‘method: Locator.evaluateHandle`] returns a [Promise], then

‘method: Locator.evaluateHandle`

would wait for the promise to resolve and return its value.

See [‘method: Page.evaluateHandle`] for more details.

# File 'lib/playwright_api/locator.rb', line 241

def evaluate_handle(expression, arg: nil, timeout: nil)
  wrap_impl(@impl.evaluate_handle(unwrap_impl(expression), arg: unwrap_impl(arg), timeout: unwrap_impl(timeout)))
end

#fill(value, force: nil, noWaitAfter: nil, timeout: nil) ⇒ Object

This method waits for [actionability](../actionability.md) checks, focuses the element, fills it and triggers an ‘input` event after filling. Note that you can pass an empty string to clear the input field.

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](developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/HTMLLabelElement/control), the control will be filled instead.

To send fine-grained keyboard events, use [‘method: Locator.type`].

end

#filter(has: nil, hasText: nil) ⇒ Object

This method narrows existing locator according to the options, for example filters by text. It can be chained to filter multiple times.

“‘python sync row_locator = page.locator(“tr”) # … row_locator

.filter(has_text="text in column 1")
.filter(has=page.get_by_role("button", name="column 2 button"))
.screenshot()

“‘

275
276
 
# File 'lib/playwright_api/locator.rb', line 274

def first
  wrap_impl(@impl.first)

#focus(timeout: nil) ⇒ Object

Calls [focus](developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/HTMLElement/focus) on the element.



279
280
281
 
# File 'lib/playwright_api/locator.rb', line 279

def focus(timeout: nil)
  wrap_impl(@impl.focus(timeout: unwrap_impl(timeout)))
end

#frame_locator(selector) ⇒ Object

When working with iframes, you can create a frame locator that will enter the iframe and allow selecting elements in that iframe:

“‘python sync locator = page.frame_locator(“iframe”).get_by_text(“Submit”) locator.click() “`



290

292
 
# File 'lib/playwright_api/locator.rb', line 290

def frame_locator(selector)
  wrap_impl(@impl.frame_locator(unwrap_impl(selector)))
end

#get_attribute(name, timeout: nil) ⇒ Object Also known as: []

Returns element attribute value.

# File 'lib/playwright_api/locator.rb', line 295

def get_attribute(name, timeout: nil)
  wrap_impl(@impl.get_attribute(unwrap_impl(name), timeout: unwrap_impl(timeout)))
end

#get_by_alt_text(text, exact: nil) ⇒ Object

Allows locating elements by their alt text. For example, this method will find the image by alt text “Castle”:

“‘html <img alt=’Castle’> “‘



305
306
307
 
# File 'lib/playwright_api/locator.rb', line 305

def get_by_alt_text(text, exact: nil)
  wrap_impl(@impl.get_by_alt_text(unwrap_impl(text), exact: unwrap_impl(exact)))
end

#get_by_label(text, exact: nil) ⇒ Object

Allows locating input elements by the text of the associated label. For example, this method will find the input by label text “Password” in the following DOM:

“‘html <label for=“password-input”>Password:</label> <input id=“password-input”> “`



316
317
318
 
# File 'lib/playwright_api/locator.rb', line 316

def get_by_label(text, exact: nil)
  wrap_impl(@impl.get_by_label(unwrap_impl(text), exact: unwrap_impl(exact)))
end

#get_by_placeholder(text, exact: nil) ⇒ Object

Allows locating input elements by the placeholder text. For example, this method will find the input by placeholder “Country”:

“‘html <input placeholder=“Country”> “`



326
327
328
 
# File 'lib/playwright_api/locator.rb', line 326

def get_by_placeholder(text, exact: nil)
  wrap_impl(@impl.get_by_placeholder(unwrap_impl(text), exact: unwrap_impl(exact)))
end

#get_by_role(role, checked: nil, disabled: nil, exact: nil, expanded: nil, includeHidden: nil, level: nil, name: nil, pressed: nil, selected: nil) ⇒ Object

Allows locating elements by their [ARIA role](www.w3.org/TR/wai-aria-1.2/#roles), [ARIA attributes](www.w3.org/TR/wai-aria-1.2/#aria-attributes) and [accessible name](w3c.github.io/accname/#dfn-accessible-name). Note that role selector **does not replace** accessibility audits and conformance tests, but rather gives early feedback about the ARIA guidelines.

Note that many html elements have an implicitly [defined role](w3c.github.io/html-aam/#html-element-role-mappings) that is recognized by the role selector. You can find all the [supported roles here](www.w3.org/TR/wai-aria-1.2/#role_definitions). ARIA guidelines **do not recommend** duplicating implicit roles and attributes by setting ‘role` and/or `aria-*` attributes to default values.

end

#get_by_test_id(testId) ⇒ Object

Locate element by the test id. By default, the ‘data-testid` attribute is used as a test id. Use

‘method: Selectors.setTestIdAttribute`

to configure a different test id attribute if necessary.



355
356
357
 
# File 'lib/playwright_api/locator.rb', line 355

def get_by_test_id(testId)
  wrap_impl(@impl.get_by_test_id(unwrap_impl(testId)))
end

#get_by_text(text, exact: nil) ⇒ Object

Allows locating elements that contain given text. Consider the following DOM structure:

“‘html <div>Hello <span>world</span></div> <div>Hello</div> “`

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

“‘python sync # Matches <span> page.get_by_text(“world”)

# Matches first <div> page.get_by_text(“Hello world”)

# Matches second <div> page.get_by_text(“Hello”, exact=True)

# Matches both <div>s page.get_by_text(re.compile(“Hello”))

# Matches second <div> page.get_by_text(re.compile(“^hello$”, re.IGNORECASE)) “‘

See also [‘method: Locator.filter`] that allows to match by another criteria, like an accessible role, and then filter by the text content.

> NOTE: 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. > NOTE: 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”>`.

#hover(force: nil, modifiers: nil, noWaitAfter: nil, position: nil, timeout: nil, trial: nil) ⇒ Object

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

  1. Wait for [actionability](../actionability.md) checks on the element, unless ‘force` option is set.

  2. Scroll the element into view if needed.

  3. Use [‘property: 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.

#input_value(timeout: nil) ⇒ Object

Returns ‘input.value` for the selected `<input>` or `<textarea>` or `<select>` element.

Throws for non-input elements. However, if the element is inside the ‘<label>` element that has an associated [control](developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/HTMLLabelElement/control), returns the value of the control.

#press(key, delay: nil, noWaitAfter: nil, timeout: nil) ⇒ Object

Focuses the element, and then uses [‘method: Keyboard.down`] and [`method: Keyboard.up`].

‘key` can specify the intended [keyboardEvent.key](developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/KeyboardEvent/key) value or a single character to generate the text for. A superset of the `key` values can be found [here](developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/KeyboardEvent/key/Key_Values). 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`.

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”` 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.

#screenshot(animations: nil, caret: nil, mask: nil, omitBackground: nil, path: nil, quality: nil, scale: nil, timeout: nil, type: nil) ⇒ Object

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](../actionability.md) checks, then scrolls element into view before taking a screenshot. If the element is detached from DOM, the method throws an error.

Returns the buffer with the captured screenshot.

#scroll_into_view_if_needed(timeout: nil) ⇒ Object

This method waits for [actionability](../actionability.md) checks, then tries to scroll element into view, unless it is completely visible as defined by [IntersectionObserver](developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Intersection_Observer_API)‘s `ratio`.

#select_option(element: nil, index: nil, value: nil, label: nil, force: nil, noWaitAfter: nil, timeout: nil) ⇒ Object

This method waits for [actionability](../actionability.md) checks, waits until all specified options are present in the ‘<select>` element and selects these options.

If the target element is not a ‘<select>` element, this method throws an error. However, if the element is inside the `<label>` element that has an associated [control](developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/HTMLLabelElement/control), the control will be used instead.

Returns the array of option values that have been successfully selected.

Triggers a ‘change` and `input` event once all the provided options have been selected.

“‘python sync # single selection matching the value element.select_option(“blue”) # single selection matching both the label element.select_option(label=“blue”) # multiple selection element.select_option(value=[“red”, “green”, “blue”]) “`

#select_text(force: nil, timeout: nil) ⇒ Object

This method waits for [actionability](../actionability.md) checks, then focuses the element and selects all its text content.

If the element is inside the ‘<label>` element that has an associated [control](developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/HTMLLabelElement/control), focuses and selects text in the control instead.

#set_checked(checked, force: nil, noWaitAfter: nil, position: nil, timeout: nil, trial: nil) ⇒ Object Also known as: checked=

This method checks or unchecks an element by performing the following steps:

  1. Ensure that matched element is a checkbox or a radio input. If not, this method throws.

  2. If the element already has the right checked state, this method returns immediately.

  3. Wait for [actionability](../actionability.md) checks on the matched element, unless ‘force` option is set. If the element is detached during the checks, the whole action is retried.

  4. Scroll the element into view if needed.

  5. Use [‘property: Page.mouse`] to click in the center of the element.

  6. Wait for initiated navigations to either succeed or fail, unless ‘noWaitAfter` option is set.

  7. Ensure that the element is now checked or unchecked. If not, this method throws.

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

#set_input_files(files, noWaitAfter: nil, timeout: nil) ⇒ Object Also known as: input_files=

Sets the value of the file input to these file paths or files. If some of the ‘filePaths` are relative paths, then they are resolved relative to the current working directory. For empty array, clears the selected files.

This method expects ‘Locator` to point to an [input element](developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/input). However, if the element is inside the `<label>` element that has an associated [control](developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/HTMLLabelElement/control), targets the control instead.

#tap_point(force: nil, modifiers: nil, noWaitAfter: nil, position: nil, timeout: nil, trial: nil) ⇒ Object

This method taps the element by performing the following steps:

  1. Wait for [actionability](../actionability.md) checks on the element, unless ‘force` option is set.

  2. Scroll the element into view if needed.

  3. Use [‘property: 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.

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 [`method: Locator.press`].

“‘python sync element.type(“hello”) # types instantly element.type(“world”, delay=100) # types slower, like a user “`

An example of typing into a text field and then submitting the form:

“‘python sync element = page.get_by_label(“Password”) element.type(“my password”) element.press(“Enter”) “`
