🎓 How Do You Locate Elements Using Selectors in Playwright?

In Playwright, selectors are used to identify elements in the DOM for interaction (click, type, hover, etc.). Playwright supports multiple selector strategies:

1. CSS Selectors

javascript

Copy

Edit

await page.click('button.submit');

Use standard CSS notation to locate elements.

2. Text Selectors

javascript

Copy

Edit

await page.click('text=Submit');

Targets elements by visible text. Handy for buttons and links.

3. XPath Selectors

javascript

Copy

Edit

await page.click('//button[@class="submit"]');

Playwright supports XPath selectors via page.locator() or page.click().

4. Role Selectors (ARIA)

javascript

Copy

Edit

await page.getByRole('button', { name: 'Submit' });

Useful for accessible testing—based on the ARIA role of elements.

5. Test ID Selectors

javascript

Copy

Edit

await page.getByTestId('login-button');

Best practice is to use custom data attributes like data-testid="login-button" for test targeting.

6. Chained Selector

await page.locator('form').locator('input[type="email"]').fill('test@example.com');

Helps in narrowing down elements within a specific section or container.

Using powerful selectors, Playwright ensures reliable and maintainable test scripts, especially for dynamic web apps.
