def all(self) -> List[ForwardRef('Locator')]

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

py
for li in page.get_by_role('listitem').all():
  li.click();

Returns

List[Locator]

def aria_snapshot(self, *, boxes: Optional[bool] = None, depth: Optional[int] = None, mode: Optional[Literal['ai', 'default']] = None, timeout: Union[float, datetime.timedelta, NoneType] = None) -> str

Locator.aria_snapshot

Captures the aria snapshot of the given element. Read more about aria snapshots and locator_assertions.to_match_aria_snapshot() for the corresponding assertion.

Usage

py
page.get_by_role("link").aria_snapshot()

Details

This method captures the aria snapshot of the given element. The snapshot is a string that represents the state of the element and its children. The snapshot can be used to assert the state of the element in the test, or to compare it to state in the future.

The ARIA snapshot is represented using YAML markup language:

Below is the HTML markup and the respective ARIA snapshot:

html
<ul aria-label="Links">
  <li><a href="/">Home</a></li>
  <li><a href="/about">About</a></li>
<ul>
yml
- list "Links":
  - listitem:
    - link "Home"
  - listitem:
    - link "About"

An AI-optimized snapshot, controlled by mode, is different from a default snapshot:

  1. Includes element references [ref=e2]. 2. Does not wait for an element matching the locator, and throws when no elements match. 3. Includes snapshots of <iframe>s inside the target.

Parameters

Parameter Type Meaning
boxes Union[bool, None] When true, appends each element's bounding box as [box=x,y,width,height] to the snapshot. Coordinates are relative to the viewport, in CSS pixels, as returned by Element.getBoundingClientRect(). Defaults to false.
depth Union[int, None] When specified, limits the depth of the snapshot.
mode Union["ai", "default", None] When set to "ai", returns a snapshot optimized for AI consumption. Defaults to "default". See details for more information.
timeout Union[float, None] Maximum time in milliseconds. Defaults to 30000 (30 seconds). Pass 0 to disable timeout. The default value can be changed by using the browser_context.set_default_timeout() or page.set_default_timeout() methods.

Returns

bounding_box

同步

Python · API 签名
def bounding_box(self, *, timeout: Union[float, datetime.timedelta, NoneType] = None) -> Optional[patchright._impl._api_structures.FloatRect]

Locator.bounding_box

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

py
box = page.get_by_role("button").bounding_box()
page.mouse.click(box["x"] + box["width"] / 2, box["y"] + box["height"] / 2)

Parameters

Parameter Type Meaning
timeout Union[float, None] Maximum time in milliseconds. Defaults to 30000 (30 seconds). Pass 0 to disable timeout. The default value can be changed by using the browser_context.set_default_timeout() or page.set_default_timeout() methods.

Returns

Locator.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. 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

py
page.get_by_role("checkbox").check()

Parameters

Parameter Type Meaning
force Union[bool, None] Whether to bypass the actionability checks. Defaults to false.
no_wait_after Union[bool, None] This option has no effect. Deprecated: This option has no effect.
position Union[{x: float, y: float}, None] A point to use relative to the top-left corner of element padding box. If not specified, uses some visible point of the element.
scroll Union["auto", "none", None] Controls whether Playwright scrolls the element into view before performing the action. Defaults to "auto", which scrolls the element into view when necessary, including scrolling nested scrollable containers. When set to "none", Playwright does not scroll the element and the action fails if the element is not already in the viewport. This is useful to assert that an element is reachable by the user without additional scrolling.
timeout Union[float, None] Maximum time in milliseconds. Defaults to 30000 (30 seconds). Pass 0 to disable timeout. The default value can be changed by using the browser_context.set_default_timeout() or page.set_default_timeout() methods.
trial Union[bool, None] When set, this method only performs the actionability checks and skips the action. Defaults to false. Useful to wait until the element is ready for the action without performing it.

timeout Union[float, None] Maximum time in milliseconds. Defaults to 30000 (30 seconds). Pass 0 to disable timeout. The default value can be changed by using the browser_context.set_default_timeout() or page.set_default_timeout() methods.
trial Union[bool, None] When set, this method only performs the actionability checks and skips the action. Defaults to false. Useful to wait until the element is ready for the action without performing it. Note that keyboard modifiers will be pressed regardless of trial to allow testing elements which are only visible when those keys are pressed.

Locator.dblclick

Double-click an element.

Details

This method double clicks 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 double click in the center of the element, or the specified position.

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.

Parameters

Parameter Type Meaning
button Union["left", "middle", "right", None] Defaults to left.
delay Union[float, None] Time to wait between mousedown and mouseup in milliseconds. Defaults to 0.
force Union[bool, None] Whether to bypass the actionability checks. Defaults to false.
modifiers Union[Sequence[Union["Alt", "Control", "ControlOrMeta", "Meta", "Shift"]], None] Modifier keys to press. Ensures that only these modifiers are pressed during the operation, and then restores current modifiers back. If not specified, currently pressed modifiers are used. "ControlOrMeta" resolves to "Control" on Windows and Linux and to "Meta" on macOS.
no_wait_after Union[bool, None] This option has no effect. Deprecated: This option has no effect.
position Union[{x: float, y: float}, None] A point to use relative to the top-left corner of element padding box. If not specified, uses some visible point of the element.
scroll Union["auto", "none", None] Controls whether Playwright scrolls the element into view before performing the action. Defaults to "auto", which scrolls the element into view when necessary, including scrolling nested scrollable containers. When set to "none", Playwright does not scroll the element and the action fails if the element is not already in the viewport. This is useful to assert that an element is reachable by the user without additional scrolling.
steps Union[int, None] Defaults to 1. Sends n interpolated mousemove events to represent travel between Playwright's current cursor position and the provided destination. When set to 1, emits a single mousemove event at the destination location.
timeout Union[float, None] Maximum time in milliseconds. Defaults to 30000 (30 seconds). Pass 0 to disable timeout. The default value can be changed by using the browser_context.set_default_timeout() or page.set_default_timeout() methods.

def dispatch_event(self, type: str, event_init: Optional[Dict] = None, *, timeout: Union[float, datetime.timedelta, NoneType] = None) -> None

Locator.dispatch_event

Programmatically dispatch an event on the matching element.

Usage

py
locator.dispatch_event("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 event_init properties and dispatches it on the element. Events are composed, cancelable and bubble by default.

Since event_init 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:

py
data_transfer = page.evaluate_handle("new DataTransfer()")
locator.dispatch_event("#source", "dragstart", {"dataTransfer": data_transfer})

Parameters

Parameter Type Meaning
type str DOM event type: "click", "dragstart", etc.
event_init Union[Dict, None] Optional event-specific initialization properties.
timeout Union[float, None] Maximum time in milliseconds. Defaults to 30000 (30 seconds). Pass 0 to disable timeout. The default value can be changed by using the browser_context.set_default_timeout() or page.set_default_timeout() methods.

def drop(self, payload: patchright._impl._api_structures.DropPayload, *, position: Optional[patchright._impl._api_structures.Position] = None, timeout: Union[float, datetime.timedelta, NoneType] = None) -> None

Locator.drop

Simulate an external drag-and-drop of files or clipboard-like data onto this locator.

Details

Dispatches the native dragenter, dragover, and drop events at the center of the target element with a synthetic [DataTransfer] carrying the provided files and/or data entries. Works cross-browser by constructing the [DataTransfer] in the page context.

If the target element's dragover listener does not call preventDefault(), the target is considered to have rejected the drop: Playwright dispatches dragleave and this method throws.

Usage

Drop a file buffer onto an upload area:

Drop plain text and a URL together:

Locator.fill

Set a value to the input field.

Usage

py
page.get_by_role("textbox").fill("example value")

Details

This method waits for actionability 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, the control will be filled instead.

To send fine-grained keyboard events, use locator.press_sequentially().

Parameters

Locator.filter

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

Usage

py
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()

Parameters

Parameter Type Meaning
has Union[Locator, None] Narrows down the results of the method to those which contain elements matching this relative locator. For example, article that has text=Playwright matches <article><div>Playwright</div></article>. Inner locator must be relative to the outer locator and is queried starting with the outer locator match, not the document root. For example, you can find content that has div in <article><content><div>Playwright</div></content></article>. However, looking for content that has article div will fail, because the inner locator must be relative and should not use any elements outside the content. Note that outer and inner locators must belong to the same frame. Inner locator must not contain FrameLocators.
has_not Union[Locator, None] Matches elements that do not contain an element that matches an inner locator. Inner locator is queried against the outer one. For example, article that does not have div matches <article><span>Playwright</span></article>. Note that outer and inner locators must belong to the same frame. Inner locator must not contain FrameLocators.
has_not_text Union[Pattern[str], str, None] Matches elements that do not contain specified text somewhere inside, possibly in a child or a descendant element. When passed a [string], matching is case-insensitive and searches for a substring.
has_text Union[Pattern[str], str, None] Matches elements containing specified text somewhere inside, possibly in a child or a descendant element. When passed a [string], matching is case-insensitive and searches for a substring. For example, "Playwright" matches <article><div>Playwright</div></article>.

Locator.filter

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

Usage

py
row_locator = page.locator("tr")
# ...
await row_locator.filter(has_text="text in column 1").filter(
    has=page.get_by_role("button", name="column 2 button")
).screenshot()

Parameters

Parameter Type Meaning
has Union[Locator, None] Narrows down the results of the method to those which contain elements matching this relative locator. For example, article that has text=Playwright matches <article><div>Playwright</div></article>. Inner locator must be relative to the outer locator and is queried starting with the outer locator match, not the document root. For example, you can find content that has div in <article><content><div>Playwright</div></content></article>. However, looking for content that has article div will fail, because the inner locator must be relative and should not use any elements outside the content. Note that outer and inner locators must belong to the same frame. Inner locator must not contain FrameLocators.
has_not Union[Locator, None] Matches elements that do not contain an element that matches an inner locator. Inner locator is queried against the outer one. For example, article that does not have div matches <article><span>Playwright</span></article>. Note that outer and inner locators must belong to the same frame. Inner locator must not contain FrameLocators.
has_not_text Union[Pattern[str], str, None] Matches elements that do not contain specified text somewhere inside, possibly in a child or a descendant element. When passed a [string], matching is case-insensitive and searches for a substring.
has_text Union[Pattern[str], str, None] Matches elements containing specified text somewhere inside, possibly in a child or a descendant element. When passed a [string], matching is case-insensitive and searches for a substring. For example, "Playwright" matches <article><div>Playwright</div></article>.
visible Union[bool, None] Only matches visible or invisible elements. Prefer the locator.visible shortcut when matching only visible elements.

def get_by_text(self, text: Union[str, Pattern[str]], *, exact: Optional[bool] = None) -> 'Locator'

Locator.get_by_text

Allows locating elements that contain given text.

See also locator.filter() that allows to match by another criteria, like an accessible role, and then filter by the text content.

Usage

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:

py
# 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))

Details

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

Parameter Type Meaning
text Union[Pattern[str], str] Text to locate the element for.
exact Union[bool, None] Whether to find an exact match: case-sensitive and whole-string. Default to false. Ignored when locating by a regular expression. Note that exact match still trims whitespace.

Locator.hover

Hover over the matching element.

Usage

py
page.get_by_role("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.

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.

Parameters

Parameter Type Meaning
force Union[bool, None] Whether to bypass the actionability checks. Defaults to false.
modifiers Union[Sequence[Union["Alt", "Control", "ControlOrMeta", "Meta", "Shift"]], None] Modifier keys to press. Ensures that only these modifiers are pressed during the operation, and then restores current modifiers back. If not specified, currently pressed modifiers are used. "ControlOrMeta" resolves to "Control" on Windows and Linux and to "Meta" on macOS.
no_wait_after Union[bool, None] This option has no effect. Deprecated: This option has no effect.
position Union[{x: float, y: float}, None] A point to use relative to the top-left corner of element padding box. If not specified, uses some visible point of the element.
scroll Union["auto", "none", None] Controls whether Playwright scrolls the element into view before performing the action. Defaults to "auto", which scrolls the element into view when necessary, including scrolling nested scrollable containers. When set to "none", Playwright does not scroll the element and the action fails if the element is not already in the viewport. This is useful to assert that an element is reachable by the user without additional scrolling.
timeout Union[float, None] Maximum time in milliseconds. Defaults to 30000 (30 seconds). Pass 0 to disable timeout. The default value can be changed by using the browser_context.set_default_timeout() or page.set_default_timeout() methods.
trial Union[bool, None] When set, this method only performs the actionability checks and skips the action. Defaults to false. Useful to wait until the element is ready for the action without performing it. Note that keyboard modifiers will be pressed regardless of trial to allow testing elements which are only visible when those keys are pressed.

Locator.hover

Hover over the matching element.

Usage

py
await page.get_by_role("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.

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.

Parameters

Parameter Type Meaning
force Union[bool, None] Whether to bypass the actionability checks. Defaults to false.
modifiers Union[Sequence[Union["Alt", "Control", "ControlOrMeta", "Meta", "Shift"]], None] Modifier keys to press. Ensures that only these modifiers are pressed during the operation, and then restores current modifiers back. If not specified, currently pressed modifiers are used. "ControlOrMeta" resolves to "Control" on Windows and Linux and to "Meta" on macOS.
no_wait_after Union[bool, None] This option has no effect. Deprecated: This option has no effect.
position Union[{x: float, y: float}, None] A point to use relative to the top-left corner of element padding box. If not specified, uses some visible point of the element.

Locator.locator

The method finds an element matching the specified selector in the locator's subtree. It also accepts filter options, similar to locator.filter() method.

Parameters

Parameter Type Meaning
selector_or_locator Union[Locator, str] A selector or locator to use when resolving DOM element.
has Union[Locator, None] Narrows down the results of the method to those which contain elements matching this relative locator. For example, article that has text=Playwright matches <article><div>Playwright</div></article>. Inner locator must be relative to the outer locator and is queried starting with the outer locator match, not the document root. For example, you can find content that has div in <article><content><div>Playwright</div></content></article>. However, looking for content that has article div will fail, because the inner locator must be relative and should not use any elements outside the content. Note that outer and inner locators must belong to the same frame. Inner locator must not contain FrameLocators.
has_not Union[Locator, None] Matches elements that do not contain an element that matches an inner locator. Inner locator is queried against the outer one. For example, article that does not have div matches <article><span>Playwright</span></article>. Note that outer and inner locators must belong to the same frame. Inner locator must not contain FrameLocators.
has_not_text Union[Pattern[str], str, None] Matches elements that do not contain specified text somewhere inside, possibly in a child or a descendant element. When passed a [string], matching is case-insensitive and searches for a substring.
has_text Union[Pattern[str], str, None] Matches elements containing specified text somewhere inside, possibly in a child or a descendant element. When passed a [string], matching is case-insensitive and searches for a substring. For example, "Playwright" matches <article><div>Playwright</div></article>.

normalize

Python · API 签名
def normalize(self) -> 'Locator'

Locator.normalize

Returns a new locator that uses best practices for referencing the matched element, prioritizing test ids, aria roles, and other user-facing attributes over CSS selectors. This is useful for converting implementation-detail selectors into more resilient, human-readable locators.

Usage

An agent can pick an element by its ref from an page.aria_snapshot() taken in the "ai" mode. Refs only work for the latest snapshot. Normalize the ref locator and convert it to a string to get resilient locator code in your language, the same way codegen does.

Consider the following aria snapshot.

You can turn the ref into locator code:

py
normalized = page.get_by_ref("e2").normalize()
print(str(normalized))
# get_by_role("button", name="Submit")

def or_(self, locator: 'Locator') -> 'Locator'

Locator.or_

Creates a locator matching all elements that match one or both of the two locators.

Note that when both locators match something, the resulting locator will have multiple matches, potentially causing a locator strictness violation.

Usage

Consider a scenario where you'd like to click on a "New email" button, but sometimes a security settings dialog shows up instead. In this case, you can wait for either a "New email" button, or a dialog and act accordingly.

NOTE If both "New email" button and security dialog appear on screen, the "or" locator will match both of them, possibly throwing the "strict mode violation" error. In this case, you can use locator.first to only match one of them.

def press(self, key: str, *, delay: Optional[float] = None, no_wait_after: Optional[bool] = None, timeout: Union[float, datetime.timedelta, NoneType] = None) -> None

Locator.press

Focuses the matching element and presses a combination of the keys.

Usage

py
page.get_by_role("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

Parameter Type Meaning
key str Name of the key to press or a character to generate, such as ArrowLeft or a.
delay Union[float, None] Time to wait between keydown and keyup in milliseconds. Defaults to 0.
no_wait_after Union[bool, None] Actions that initiate navigations are waiting for these navigations to happen and for pages to start loading. You can opt out of waiting via setting this flag. You would only need this option in the exceptional cases such as navigating to inaccessible pages. Defaults to false. Deprecated: This option will default to true in the future.
timeout Union[float, None] Maximum time in milliseconds. Defaults to 30000 (30 seconds). Pass 0 to disable timeout. The default value can be changed by using the browser_context.set_default_timeout() or page.set_default_timeout() methods.

def press_sequentially(self, text: str, *, delay: Optional[float] = None, no_wait_after: Optional[bool] = None, timeout: Union[float, datetime.timedelta, NoneType] = None) -> None

Locator.press_sequentially

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

py
locator.press_sequentially("hello") # types instantly
locator.press_sequentially("world", delay=100) # types slower, like a user

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

py
locator = page.get_by_label("Password")
locator.press_sequentially("my password")
locator.press("Enter")

Parameters

Parameter Type Meaning
text str String of characters to sequentially press into a focused element.
delay Union[float, None] Time to wait between key presses in milliseconds. Defaults to 0.
no_wait_after Union[bool, None] This option has no effect. Deprecated: This option has no effect.
timeout Union[float, None] Maximum time in milliseconds. Defaults to 30000 (30 seconds). Pass 0 to disable timeout. The default value can be changed by using the browser_context.set_default_timeout() or page.set_default_timeout() methods.

Locator.screenshot

Take a screenshot of the element matching the locator.

Usage

py
page.get_by_role("link").screenshot()

Disable animations and save screenshot to a file:

py
page.get_by_role("link").screenshot(animations="disabled", path="link.png")

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.

Returns the buffer with the captured screenshot.

Parameters

Parameter Type Meaning
animations Union["allow", "disabled", None] When set to "disabled", stops CSS animations, CSS transitions and Web Animations. Animations get different treatment depending on their duration: - finite animations are fast-forwarded to completion, so they'll fire transitionend event. - infinite animations are canceled to initial state, and then played over after the screenshot. Defaults to "allow" that leaves animations untouched.
caret Union["hide", "initial", None] When set to "hide", screenshot will hide text caret. When set to "initial", text caret behavior will not be changed. Defaults to "hide".
mask Union[Sequence[Locator], None] Specify locators that should be masked when the screenshot is taken. Masked elements will be overlaid with a pink box #FF00FF (customized by mask_color) that completely covers its bounding box. The mask is also applied to invisible elements, see Matching only visible elements to disable that.
mask_color Union[str, None] Specify the color of the overlay box for masked elements, in CSS color format. Default color is pink #FF00FF.
omit_background Union[bool, None] Hides default white background and allows capturing screenshots with transparency. Not applicable to jpeg images. Defaults to false.
path Union[pathlib.Path, str, None] The file path to save the image to. The screenshot type will be inferred from file extension. If path is a relative path, then it is resolved relative to the current working directory. If no path is provided, the image won't be saved to the disk.
quality Union[int, None] The quality of the image, between 0-100. Not applicable to png images. For jpeg the default is 80. For webp, a quality of 100 (the default) produces a lossless image, while lower values use lossy compression.
scale Union["css", "device", None] When set to "css", screenshot will have a single pixel per each css pixel on the page. For high-dpi devices, this will keep screenshots small. Using "device" option will produce a single pixel per each device pixel, so screenshots of high-dpi devices will be twice as large or even larger. Defaults to "device".
style Union[str, None] Text of the stylesheet to apply while making the screenshot. This is where you can hide dynamic elements, make elements invisible or change their properties to help you creating repeatable screenshots. This stylesheet pierces the Shadow DOM and applies to the inner frames.
timeout Union[float, None] Maximum time in milliseconds. Defaults to 30000 (30 seconds). Pass 0 to disable timeout. The default value can be changed by using the browser_context.set_default_timeout() or page.set_default_timeout() methods.
type Union["jpeg", "png", "webp", None] Specify screenshot type, defaults to png.

Locator.set_checked

Set the state of a checkbox or a radio element.

Usage

py
page.get_by_role("checkbox").set_checked(True)

Details

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 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 page.mouse to click in the center of the element.
  6. 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.

Parameters

Parameter Type Meaning
checked bool Whether to check or uncheck the checkbox.
force Union[bool, None] Whether to bypass the actionability checks. Defaults to false.
no_wait_after Union[bool, None] This option has no effect. Deprecated: This option has no effect.

scroll Union["auto", "none", None] Controls whether Playwright scrolls the element into view before performing the action. Defaults to "auto", which scrolls the element into view when necessary, including scrolling nested scrollable containers. When set to "none", Playwright does not scroll the element and the action fails if the element is not already in the viewport. This is useful to assert that an element is reachable by the user without additional scrolling.

scroll Union["auto", "none", None] Controls whether Playwright scrolls the element into view before performing the action. Defaults to "auto", which scrolls the element into view when necessary, including scrolling nested scrollable containers. When set to "none", Playwright does not scroll the element and the action fails if the element is not already in the viewport. This is useful to assert that an element is reachable by the user without additional scrolling.
timeout Union[float, None] Maximum time in milliseconds. Defaults to 30000 (30 seconds). Pass 0 to disable timeout. The default value can be changed by using the browser_context.set_default_timeout() or page.set_default_timeout() methods.
trial Union[bool, None] When set, this method only performs the actionability checks and skips the action. Defaults to false. Useful to wait until the element is ready for the action without performing it. Note that keyboard modifiers will be pressed regardless of trial to allow testing elements which are only visible when those keys are pressed.

Locator.tap

Perform a tap gesture on the element matching the locator. For examples of emulating other gestures by manually dispatching touch events, see the emulating legacy touch events page.

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.

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.

Parameters

Parameter Type Meaning
force Union[bool, None] Whether to bypass the actionability checks. Defaults to false.
modifiers Union[Sequence[Union["Alt", "Control", "ControlOrMeta", "Meta", "Shift"]], None] Modifier keys to press. Ensures that only these modifiers are pressed during the operation, and then restores current modifiers back. If not specified, currently pressed modifiers are used. "ControlOrMeta" resolves to "Control" on Windows and Linux and to "Meta" on macOS.
no_wait_after Union[bool, None] This option has no effect. Deprecated: This option has no effect.
position Union[{x: float, y: float}, None] A point to use relative to the top-left corner of element padding box. If not specified, uses some visible point of the element.

This is useful to assert that an element is reachable by the user without additional scrolling.
timeout Union[float, None] Maximum time in milliseconds. Defaults to 30000 (30 seconds). Pass 0 to disable timeout. The default value can be changed by using the browser_context.set_default_timeout() or page.set_default_timeout() methods.
trial Union[bool, None] When set, this method only performs the actionability checks and skips the action. Defaults to false. Useful to wait until the element is ready for the action without performing it. Note that keyboard modifiers will be pressed regardless of trial to allow testing elements which are only visible when those keys are pressed.

visible

Locator.visible: Locator

Locator.visible

Returns a locator that matches only visible elements, ignoring the invisible ones. This is the recommended way to distinguish elements by visibility, as opposed to the :visible CSS pseudo-class.

Note that visibility is checked every time the locator is used, and not at the moment of the locator.visible call.

Usage

Consider a page with two buttons, the first invisible and the second visible.

html
<button style='display: none'>Invisible</button>
<button>Visible</button>

This will only find the second button, because it is visible, and then click it.

py
page.locator("button").visible.click()

To match invisible elements instead, use locator.filter() with the visible option set to false.

Returns

Locator

wait_for

Python · API 签名
def wait_for(self, *, state: Optional[Literal['attached', 'detached', 'hidden', 'visible']] = None, timeout: Union[float, datetime.timedelta, NoneType] = None) -> None

Locator.wait_for

Returns when element specified by locator satisfies the state option.

If target element already satisfies the condition, the method returns immediately. Otherwise, waits for up to timeout milliseconds until the condition is met.

Usage

py
order_sent = page.locator("#order-sent")
order_sent.wait_for()

Parameters

Parameter Type Meaning
state Union["attached", "detached", "hidden", "visible", None] Defaults to 'visible'. Can be either: - 'attached' - wait for element to be present in DOM. - 'detached' - wait for element to not be present in DOM. - 'visible' - wait for element to have non-empty bounding box and no visibility:hidden. Note that element without any content or with display:none has an empty bounding box and is not considered visible. - 'hidden' - wait for element to be either detached from DOM, or have an empty bounding box or visibility:hidden. This is opposite to the 'visible' option.
timeout Union[float, None] Maximum time in milliseconds. Defaults to 30000 (30 seconds). Pass 0 to disable timeout. The default value can be changed by using the browser_context.set_default_timeout() or page.set_default_timeout() methods.

wait_for_function

同步

Python · API 签名
def wait_for_function(self, expression: str, *, arg: Optional[Any] = None, timeout: Union[float, datetime.timedelta, NoneType] = None) -> None

Locator.wait_for_function

Returns when expression returns a truthy value, called with the matching element as a first argument, and arg as a second argument.

This is a generic way to wait for an element to reach a custom condition without asserting it. The locator is re-resolved on each retry, so it tolerates the element being re-rendered while waiting.

If expression returns a [Promise], this method will wait for the promise to resolve before checking its value.

If expression throws or rejects, this method throws.

Usage

Wait for an attribute to appear:

Passing argument to expression:

Parameters

Parameter Type Meaning
expression str JavaScript expression to be evaluated in the browser context. If the expression evaluates to a function, the function is automatically invoked.
arg Union[Any, None] Optional argument to pass to expression.
timeout Union[float, None] Maximum time to wait for in milliseconds. Defaults to 30000 (30 seconds). Pass 0 to disable timeout. The default value can be changed by using the browser_context.set_default_timeout() or page.set_default_timeout() methods.

Locator.within

Returns a locator that matches this locator's elements inside each element matched by locator.

Note that relative locators, such as locator.nth() or locator.first, are resolved separately inside each matched parent. In the example below, page.getByRole('cell').nth(2) picks the third cell of every row, not the third cell in the whole table.

Usage

py
third_column = page.get_by_role("cell").nth(2).within(page.get_by_role("row"))
