Methods
externalinherited[asyncDispose]
Returns Promise<void>
externalinherited$
NOTE Use locator-based page.locator(selector[, options]) instead. Read more about locators.
The method finds an element matching the specified selector within the page. If no elements match the selector, the return value resolves to
null. To wait for an element on the page, use locator.waitFor([options]).Parameters
externalselector: K
A selector to query for.
externaloptionaloptions: { strict: boolean }
externalstrict: boolean
Returns Promise<null | ElementHandleForTag<K>>
externalinherited$$
NOTE Use locator-based page.locator(selector[, options]) instead. Read more about locators.
The method finds all elements matching the specified selector within the page. If no elements match the selector, the return value resolves to
[].Parameters
externalselector: K
A selector to query for.
Returns Promise<ElementHandleForTag<K>[]>
externalinherited$$eval
NOTE In most cases, locator.evaluateAll(pageFunction[, arg]), other Locator helper methods and web-first assertions do a better job.
The method finds all elements matching the specified selector within the page and passes an array of matched elements as a first argument to
pageFunction. Returns the result ofpageFunctioninvocation.If
pageFunctionreturns a [Promise], then page.$$eval(selector, pageFunction[, arg]) would wait for the promise to resolve and return its value.Usage
const divCounts = await page.$$eval('div', (divs, min) => divs.length >= min, 10);Parameters
externalselector: K
A selector to query for.
externalpageFunction: PageFunctionOn<HTMLElementTagNameMap[K][], Arg, R>
Function to be evaluated in the page context.
externalarg: Arg
Optional argument to pass to
pageFunction.
Returns Promise<R>
externalinherited$eval
NOTE This method does not wait for the element to pass actionability checks and therefore can lead to the flaky tests. Use locator.evaluate(pageFunction[, arg, options]), other Locator helper methods or web-first assertions instead.
The method finds an element matching the specified selector within the page and passes it as a first argument to
pageFunction. If no elements match the selector, the method throws an error. Returns the value ofpageFunction.If
pageFunctionreturns a [Promise], then page.$eval(selector, pageFunction[, arg, options]) would wait for the promise to resolve and return its value.Usage
const searchValue = await page.$eval('#search', el => el.value);
const preloadHref = await page.$eval('link[rel=preload]', el => el.href);
const html = await page.$eval('.main-container', (e, suffix) => e.outerHTML + suffix, 'hello');
// In TypeScript, this example requires an explicit type annotation (HTMLLinkElement) on el:
const preloadHrefTS = await page.$eval('link[rel=preload]', (el: HTMLLinkElement) => el.href);Parameters
externalselector: K
A selector to query for.
externalpageFunction: PageFunctionOn<HTMLElementTagNameMap[K], Arg, R>
Function to be evaluated in the page context.
externalarg: Arg
Optional argument to pass to
pageFunction.
Returns Promise<R>
act
Perform an action on the page using natural language.
Parameters
instruction: string
Natural language instruction for the action
optionaloptions: Omit<ActOptions, page>
Optional configuration for the action
Returns Promise<ActResult>
Promise that resolves with the action result
externalinheritedaddInitScript
Adds a script which would be evaluated in one of the following scenarios:
- Whenever the page is navigated.
- Whenever the child frame is attached or navigated. In this case, the script is evaluated in the context of the newly attached frame.
The script is evaluated after the document was created but before any of its scripts were run. This is useful to amend the JavaScript environment, e.g. to seed
Math.random.Usage
An example of overriding
Math.randombefore the page loads:// preload.js
Math.random = () => 42;// In your playwright script, assuming the preload.js file is in same directory
await page.addInitScript({ path: './preload.js' });await page.addInitScript(mock => {
window.mock = mock;
}, mock);NOTE The order of evaluation of multiple scripts installed via browserContext.addInitScript(script[, arg]) and page.addInitScript(script[, arg]) is not defined.
Parameters
externalscript: PageFunction<Arg, any> | { content?: string; path?: string }
Script to be evaluated in the page.
externaloptionalcontent: string
externaloptionalpath: string
externaloptionalarg: Arg
Optional argument to pass to
script(only supported when passing a function).
Returns Promise<void>
externalinheritedaddListener
Emitted when the page closes.
Parameters
externalevent: close
externallistener: (page) => any
Returns this
externalinheritedaddLocatorHandler
When testing a web page, sometimes unexpected overlays like a "Sign up" dialog appear and block actions you want to automate, e.g. clicking a button. These overlays don't always show up in the same way or at the same time, making them tricky to handle in automated tests.
This method lets you set up a special function, called a handler, that activates when it detects that overlay is visible. The handler's job is to remove the overlay, allowing your test to continue as if the overlay wasn't there.
Things to keep in mind:
- When an overlay is shown predictably, we recommend explicitly waiting for it in your test and dismissing it as a part of your normal test flow, instead of using page.addLocatorHandler(locator, handler[, options]).
- Playwright checks for the overlay every time before executing or retrying an action that requires an actionability check, or before performing an auto-waiting assertion check. When overlay is visible, Playwright calls the handler first, and then proceeds with the action/assertion. Note that the handler is only called when you perform an action/assertion - if the overlay becomes visible but you don't perform any actions, the handler will not be triggered.
- After executing the handler, Playwright will ensure that overlay that triggered the handler is not visible
anymore. You can opt-out of this behavior with
noWaitAfter. - The execution time of the handler counts towards the timeout of the action/assertion that executed the handler. If your handler takes too long, it might cause timeouts.
- You can register multiple handlers. However, only a single handler will be running at a time. Make sure the actions within a handler don't depend on another handler.
NOTE Running the handler will alter your page state mid-test. For example it will change the currently focused element and move the mouse. Make sure that actions that run after the handler are self-contained and do not rely on the focus and mouse state being unchanged.
For example, consider a test that calls locator.focus([options]) followed by keyboard.press(key[, options]). If your handler clicks a button between these two actions, the focused element most likely will be wrong, and key press will happen on the unexpected element. Use locator.press(key[, options]) instead to avoid this problem.
Another example is a series of mouse actions, where mouse.move(x, y[, options]) is followed by mouse.down([options]). Again, when the handler runs between these two actions, the mouse position will be wrong during the mouse down. Prefer self-contained actions like locator.click([options]) that do not rely on the state being unchanged by a handler.
Usage
An example that closes a "Sign up to the newsletter" dialog when it appears:
// Setup the handler.
await page.addLocatorHandler(page.getByText('Sign up to the newsletter'), async () => {
await page.getByRole('button', { name: 'No thanks' }).click();
});
// Write the test as usual.
await page.goto('https://example.com');
await page.getByRole('button', { name: 'Start here' }).click();An example that skips the "Confirm your security details" page when it is shown:
// Setup the handler.
await page.addLocatorHandler(page.getByText('Confirm your security details'), async () => {
await page.getByRole('button', { name: 'Remind me later' }).click();
});
// Write the test as usual.
await page.goto('https://example.com');
await page.getByRole('button', { name: 'Start here' }).click();An example with a custom callback on every actionability check. It uses a
<body>locator that is always visible, so the handler is called before every actionability check. It is important to specifynoWaitAfter, because the handler does not hide the<body>element.// Setup the handler.
await page.addLocatorHandler(page.locator('body'), async () => {
await page.evaluate(() => window.removeObstructionsForTestIfNeeded());
}, { noWaitAfter: true });
// Write the test as usual.
await page.goto('https://example.com');
await page.getByRole('button', { name: 'Start here' }).click();Handler takes the original locator as an argument. You can also automatically remove the handler after a number of invocations by setting
times:await page.addLocatorHandler(page.getByLabel('Close'), async locator => {
await locator.click();
}, { times: 1 });Parameters
externallocator: Locator
Locator that triggers the handler.
externalhandler: (locator) => Promise<any>
Function that should be run once
locatorappears. This function should get rid of the element that blocks actions like click.externaloptionaloptions: { noWaitAfter?: boolean; times?: number }
externaloptionalnoWaitAfter: boolean
By default, after calling the handler Playwright will wait until the overlay becomes hidden, and only then Playwright will continue with the action/assertion that triggered the handler. This option allows to opt-out of this behavior, so that overlay can stay visible after the handler has run.
externaloptionaltimes: number
Specifies the maximum number of times this handler should be called. Unlimited by default.

externalinheritedcheck
NOTE Use locator-based locator.check([options]) instead. Read more about locators.
This method checks an element matching
selectorby performing the following steps:- Find an element matching
selector. If there is none, wait until a matching element is attached to the DOM. - Ensure that matched element is a checkbox or a radio input. If not, this method throws. If the element is already checked, this method returns immediately.
- Wait for actionability checks on the matched element, unless
forceoption is set. If the element is detached during the checks, the whole action is retried. - Scroll the element into view if needed.
- Use page.mouse to click in the center of the element.
- Ensure that the element is now checked. 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

externalinheritedevaluate
Returns the value of the
pageFunctioninvocation.If the function passed to the page.evaluate(pageFunction[, arg]) returns a [Promise], then page.evaluate(pageFunction[, arg]) would wait for the promise to resolve and return its value.
If the function passed to the page.evaluate(pageFunction[, arg]) returns a non-[Serializable] value, then page.evaluate(pageFunction[, arg]) resolves to
undefined. Playwright also supports transferring some additional values that are not serializable byJSON:-0,NaN,Infinity,-Infinity.Usage
Passing argument to
pageFunction:const result = await page.evaluate(([x, y]) => {
return Promise.resolve(x * y);
}, [7, 8]);
console.log(result); // prints "56"A string can also be passed in instead of a function:
console.log(await page.evaluate('1 + 2')); // prints "3"
const x = 10;
console.log(await page.evaluate(`1 + ${x}`)); // prints "11"ElementHandle instances can be passed as an argument to the page.evaluate(pageFunction[, arg]):
const bodyHandle = await page.evaluate('document.body');
const html = await page.evaluate<string, HTMLElement>(([body, suffix]) =>
body.innerHTML + suffix, [bodyHandle, 'hello']
);
await bodyHandle.dispose();Parameters
externalpageFunction: PageFunction<Arg, R>
Function to be evaluated in the page context.
externalarg: Arg
Optional argument to pass to
pageFunction.
Returns Promise<R>
externalinheritedevaluateHandle
Returns the value of the
pageFunctioninvocation as a JSHandle.The only difference between page.evaluate(pageFunction[, arg]) and page.evaluateHandle(pageFunction[, arg]) is that page.evaluateHandle(pageFunction[, arg]) returns JSHandle.
If the function passed to the page.evaluateHandle(pageFunction[, arg]) returns a [Promise], then page.evaluateHandle(pageFunction[, arg]) would wait for the promise to resolve and return its value.
Usage
// Handle for the window object.
const aWindowHandle = await page.evaluateHandle(() => Promise.resolve(window));A string can also be passed in instead of a function:
const aHandle = await page.evaluateHandle('document'); // Handle for the 'document'JSHandle instances can be passed as an argument to the page.evaluateHandle(pageFunction[, arg]):
const aHandle = await page.evaluateHandle(() => document.body);
const resultHandle = await page.evaluateHandle(body => body.innerHTML, aHandle);
console.log(await resultHandle.jsonValue());

Function to be evaluated in the page context.
externalarg: Arg
Optional argument to pass to
pageFunction.
Returns Promise<SmartHandle<R>>
externalinheritedexposeBinding
The method adds a function called
nameon thewindowobject of every frame in this page. When called, the function executescallbackand returns a [Promise] which resolves to the return value ofcallback. If thecallbackreturns a [Promise], it will be awaited.The first argument of the
callbackfunction contains information about the caller:{ browserContext: BrowserContext, page: Page, frame: Frame }.See browserContext.exposeBinding(name, callback[, options]) for the context-wide version.
NOTE Functions installed via page.exposeBinding(name, callback[, options]) survive navigations.

externalinheritedlocator
The method returns an element locator that can be used to perform actions on this page / frame. Locator is resolved to the element immediately before performing an action, so a series of actions on the same locator can in fact be performed on different DOM elements. That would happen if the DOM structure between those actions has changed.
Parameters
externalselector: string
A selector to use when resolving DOM element.
externaloptionaloptions: { has?: Locator; hasNot?: Locator; hasNotText?: string | RegExp; hasText?: string | RegExp }
externaloptionalhas: Locator
Narrows down the results of the method to those which contain elements matching this relative locator. For example,
articlethat hastext=Playwrightmatches<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
contentthat hasdivin<article><content><div>Playwright</div></content></article>. However, looking forcontentthat haswill fail, because the inner locator must be relative and should not use any elements outside thearticle
divcontent.Note that outer and inner locators must belong to the same frame. Inner locator must not contain FrameLocators.
externaloptionalhasNot: Locator
Matches elements that do not contain an element that matches an inner locator. Inner locator is queried against the outer one. For example,
articlethat does not havedivmatches<article><span>Playwright</span></article>.Note that outer and inner locators must belong to the same frame. Inner locator must not contain FrameLocators.
externaloptionalhasNotText: string | RegExp
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.
externaloptionalhasText: string | RegExp
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>.
Returns Locator

ArrowLeftora.externaloptionaloptions: { delay?: number; noWaitAfter?: boolean; strict?: boolean; timeout?: number }
externaloptionaldelay: number
Time to wait between
keydownandkeyupin milliseconds. Defaults to 0.externaloptionalnoWaitAfter: boolean
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.externaloptionalstrict: boolean
When true, the call requires selector to resolve to a single element. If given selector resolves to more than one element, the call throws an exception.
externaloptionaltimeout: number
Maximum time in milliseconds. Defaults to
0- no timeout. The default value can be changed viaactionTimeoutoption in the config, or by using the browserContext.setDefaultTimeout(timeout) or page.setDefaultTimeout(timeout) methods.
Returns Promise<void>
externalinheritedreload
This method reloads the current page, in the same way as if the user had triggered a browser refresh. Returns the main resource response. In case of multiple redirects, the navigation will resolve with the response of the last redirect.
Parameters
externaloptionaloptions: { timeout?: number; waitUntil?: domcontentloaded | load | networkidle | commit }
externaloptionaltimeout: number
Maximum operation time in milliseconds. Defaults to
0- no timeout. The default value can be changed vianavigationTimeoutoption in the config, or by using the browserContext.setDefaultNavigationTimeout(timeout), browserContext.setDefaultTimeout(timeout), page.setDefaultNavigationTimeout(timeout) or page.setDefaultTimeout(timeout) methods.externaloptionalwaitUntil: domcontentloaded | load | networkidle | commit
When to consider operation succeeded, defaults to
load. Events can be either:'domcontentloaded'- consider operation to be finished when theDOMContentLoadedevent is fired.'load'- consider operation to be finished when theloadevent is fired.'networkidle'- DISCOURAGED consider operation to be finished when there are no network connections for at least500ms. Don't use this method for testing, rely on web assertions to assess readiness instead.'commit'- consider operation to be finished when network response is received and the document started loading.
Returns Promise<null | Response>
externalinheritedremoveAllListeners
Removes all the listeners of the given type (or all registered listeners if no type given). Allows to wait for async listeners to complete or to ignore subsequent errors from these listeners.
Usage
page.on('request', async request => {
const response = await request.response();
const body = await response.body();
console.log(body.byteLength);
});
await page.goto('https://playwright.dev', { waitUntil: 'domcontentloaded' });
// Waits for all the reported 'request' events to resolve.
await page.removeAllListeners('request', { behavior: 'wait' });Parameters
externaloptionaltype: string
Returns this
externalinheritedremoveListener
Removes an event listener added by
onoraddListener.Parameters
externalevent: close
externallistener: (page) => any
Returns this
externalinheritedremoveLocatorHandler
Removes all locator handlers added by page.addLocatorHandler(locator, handler[, options]) for a specific locator.
Parameters
externallocator: Locator
Locator passed to page.addLocatorHandler(locator, handler[, options]).
Returns Promise<void>
externalinheritedrequestGC
Request the page to perform garbage collection. Note that there is no guarantee that all unreachable objects will be collected.
This is useful to help detect memory leaks. For example, if your page has a large object
'suspect'that might be leaked, you can check that it does not leak by using aWeakRef.// 1. In your page, save a WeakRef for the "suspect".
await page.evaluate(() => globalThis.suspectWeakRef = new WeakRef(suspect));
// 2. Request garbage collection.
await page.requestGC();
// 3. Check that weak ref does not deref to the original object.
expect(await page.evaluate(() => !globalThis.suspectWeakRef.deref())).toBe(true);Returns Promise<void>
externalinheritedrequests
Returns up to (currently) 100 last network request from this page. See page.on('request') for more details.
Returned requests should be accessed immediately, otherwise they might be collected to prevent unbounded memory growth as new requests come in. Once collected, retrieving most information about the request is impossible.
Note that requests reported through the page.on('request') request are not collected, so there is a trade off between efficient memory usage with page.requests() and the amount of available information reported through page.on('request').
Returns Promise<Request[]>
externalinheritedroute
Routing provides the capability to modify network requests that are made by a page.
Once routing is enabled, every request matching the url pattern will stall unless it's continued, fulfilled or aborted.
NOTE The handler will only be called for the first url if the response is a redirect.
NOTE page.route(url, handler[, options]) will not intercept requests intercepted by Service Worker. See this issue. We recommend disabling Service Workers when using request interception by setting
serviceWorkersto'block'.NOTE page.route(url, handler[, options]) will not intercept the first request of a popup page. Use browserContext.route(url, handler[, options]) instead.
Usage
An example of a naive handler that aborts all image requests:
const page = await browser.newPage();
await page.route('**/*.{png,jpg,jpeg}', route => route.abort());
await page.goto('https://example.com');
await browser.close();or the same snippet using a regex pattern instead:
const page = await browser.newPage();
await page.route(/(\.png$)|(\.jpg$)/, route => route.abort());
await page.goto('https://example.com');
await browser.close();It is possible to examine the request to decide the route action. For example, mocking all requests that contain some post data, and leaving all other requests as is:
await page.route('/api/**', async route => {
if (route.request().postData().includes('my-string'))
await route.fulfill({ body: 'mocked-data' });
else
await route.continue();
});Page routes take precedence over browser context routes (set up with browserContext.route(url, handler[, options])) when request matches both handlers.
To remove a route with its handler you can use page.unroute(url[, handler]).
NOTE Enabling routing disables http cache.
Parameters
externalurl: string | RegExp | (url) => boolean
externalhandler: (route, request) => any
handler function to route the request.
externaloptionaloptions: { times?: number }
externaloptionaltimes: number
How often a route should be used. By default it will be used every time.
Returns Promise<void>
externalinheritedrouteFromHAR
If specified the network requests that are made in the page will be served from the HAR file. Read more about Replaying from HAR.
Playwright will not serve requests intercepted by Service Worker from the HAR file. See this issue. We recommend disabling Service Workers when using request interception by setting
serviceWorkersto'block'.Parameters
externalhar: string
Path to a HAR file with prerecorded network data. If
pathis a relative path, then it is resolved relative to the current working directory.externaloptionaloptions: { notFound?: abort | fallback; update?: boolean; updateContent?: embed | attach; updateMode?: full | minimal; url?: string | RegExp }
externaloptionalnotFound: abort | fallback
- If set to 'abort' any request not found in the HAR file will be aborted.
- If set to 'fallback' missing requests will be sent to the network.
Defaults to abort.
externaloptionalupdate: boolean
If specified, updates the given HAR with the actual network information instead of serving from file. The file is written to disk when browserContext.close([options]) is called.
externaloptionalupdateContent: embed | attach
Optional setting to control resource content management. If
attachis specified, resources are persisted as separate files or entries in the ZIP archive. Ifembedis specified, content is stored inline the HAR file.externaloptionalupdateMode: full | minimal
When set to
minimal, only record information necessary for routing from HAR. This omits sizes, timing, page, cookies, security and other types of HAR information that are not used when replaying from HAR. Defaults tominimal.externaloptionalurl: string | RegExp
A glob pattern, regular expression or predicate to match the request URL. Only requests with URL matching the pattern will be served from the HAR file. If not specified, all requests are served from the HAR file.
Returns Promise<void>
externalinheritedrouteWebSocket
This method allows to modify websocket connections that are made by the page.
Note that only
WebSockets created after this method was called will be routed. It is recommended to call this method before navigating the page.Usage
Below is an example of a simple mock that responds to a single message. See WebSocketRoute for more details and examples.
await page.routeWebSocket('/ws', ws => {
ws.onMessage(message => {
if (message === 'request')
ws.send('response');
});
});Parameters
externalurl: string | RegExp | (url) => boolean
Only WebSockets with the url matching this pattern will be routed. A string pattern can be relative to the
baseURLcontext option.externalhandler: (websocketroute) => any
Handler function to route the WebSocket.

externalevent: close
externaloptionaloptionsOrPredicate: { predicate?: (page) => boolean | Promise<boolean>; timeout?: number } | (page) => boolean | Promise<boolean>
externaloptionalpredicate: (page) => boolean | Promise<boolean>
externaloptionaltimeout: number
Returns Promise<Page>
externalinheritedwaitForFunction
Returns when the
pageFunctionreturns a truthy value. It resolves to a JSHandle of the truthy value.Usage
The page.waitForFunction(pageFunction[, arg, options]) can be used to observe viewport size change:
const { webkit } = require('playwright'); // Or 'chromium' or 'firefox'.
(async () => {
const browser = await webkit.launch();
const page = await browser.newPage();
const watchDog = page.waitForFunction(() => window.innerWidth < 100);
await page.setViewportSize({ width: 50, height: 50 });
await watchDog;
await browser.close();
})();To pass an argument to the predicate of page.waitForFunction(pageFunction[, arg, options]) function:
const selector = '.foo';
await page.waitForFunction(selector => !!document.querySelector(selector), selector);Parameters
externalpageFunction: PageFunction<Arg, R>
Function to be evaluated in the page context.
externalarg: Arg
Optional argument to pass to
pageFunction.externaloptionaloptions: PageWaitForFunctionOptions
Returns Promise<SmartHandle<R>>
externalinheritedwaitForLoadState
Returns when the required load state has been reached.
This resolves when the page reaches a required load state,
loadby default. The navigation must have been committed when this method is called. If current document has already reached the required state, resolves immediately.NOTE Most of the time, this method is not needed because Playwright auto-waits before every action.
Usage
await page.getByRole('button').click(); // Click triggers navigation.
await page.waitForLoadState(); // The promise resolves after 'load' event.const popupPromise = page.waitForEvent('popup');
await page.getByRole('button').click(); // Click triggers a popup.
const popup = await popupPromise;
await popup.waitForLoadState('domcontentloaded'); // Wait for the 'DOMContentLoaded' event.
console.log(await popup.title()); // Popup is ready to use.Parameters
externaloptionalstate: domcontentloaded | load | networkidle
Optional load state to wait for, defaults to
load. If the state has been already reached while loading current document, the method resolves immediately. Can be one of:'load'- wait for theloadevent to be fired.'domcontentloaded'- wait for theDOMContentLoadedevent to be fired.'networkidle'- DISCOURAGED wait until there are no network connections for at least500ms. Don't use this method for testing, rely on web assertions to assess readiness instead.
externaloptionaloptions: { timeout?: number }
externaloptionaltimeout: number
Maximum operation time in milliseconds. Defaults to
0- no timeout. The default value can be changed vianavigationTimeoutoption in the config, or by using the browserContext.setDefaultNavigationTimeout(timeout), browserContext.setDefaultTimeout(timeout), page.setDefaultNavigationTimeout(timeout) or page.setDefaultTimeout(timeout) methods.
Returns Promise<void>
externalinheritedwaitForNavigation
Waits for the main frame navigation and returns the main resource response. In case of multiple redirects, the navigation will resolve with the response of the last redirect. In case of navigation to a different anchor or navigation due to History API usage, the navigation will resolve with
null.Usage
This resolves when the page navigates to a new URL or reloads. It is useful for when you run code which will indirectly cause the page to navigate. e.g. The click target has an
onclickhandler that triggers navigation from asetTimeout. Consider this example:// Start waiting for navigation before clicking. Note no await.
const navigationPromise = page.waitForNavigation();
await page.getByText('Navigate after timeout').click();
await navigationPromise;NOTE Usage of the History API to change the URL is considered a navigation.
Parameters
externaloptionaloptions: { timeout?: number; url?: string | RegExp | (url) => boolean; waitUntil?: domcontentloaded | load | networkidle | commit }
externaloptionaltimeout: number
Maximum operation time in milliseconds. Defaults to
0- no timeout. The default value can be changed vianavigationTimeoutoption in the config, or by using the browserContext.setDefaultNavigationTimeout(timeout), browserContext.setDefaultTimeout(timeout), page.setDefaultNavigationTimeout(timeout) or page.setDefaultTimeout(timeout) methods.externaloptionalurl: string | RegExp | (url) => boolean
A glob pattern, regex pattern or predicate receiving [URL] to match while waiting for the navigation. Note that if the parameter is a string without wildcard characters, the method will wait for navigation to URL that is exactly equal to the string.
externaloptionalwaitUntil: domcontentloaded | load | networkidle | commit
When to consider operation succeeded, defaults to
load. Events can be either:'domcontentloaded'- consider operation to be finished when theDOMContentLoadedevent is fired.'load'- consider operation to be finished when theloadevent is fired.'networkidle'- DISCOURAGED consider operation to be finished when there are no network connections for at least500ms. Don't use this method for testing, rely on web assertions to assess readiness instead.'commit'- consider operation to be finished when network response is received and the document started loading.
Returns Promise<null | Response>
externalinheritedwaitForRequest
Waits for the matching request and returns it. See waiting for event for more details about events.
Usage
// Start waiting for request before clicking. Note no await.
const requestPromise = page.waitForRequest('https://example.com/resource');
await page.getByText('trigger request').click();
const request = await requestPromise;
// Alternative way with a predicate. Note no await.
const requestPromise = page.waitForRequest(request =>
request.url() === 'https://example.com' && request.method() === 'GET',
);
await page.getByText('trigger request').click();
const request = await requestPromise;Parameters
externalurlOrPredicate: string | RegExp | (request) => boolean | Promise<boolean>
Request URL string, regex or predicate receiving Request object.
externaloptionaloptions: { timeout?: number }
externaloptionaltimeout: number
Maximum wait time in milliseconds, defaults to 30 seconds, pass
0to disable the timeout. The default value can be changed by using the page.setDefaultTimeout(timeout) method.
Returns Promise<Request>
externalinheritedwaitForResponse
Returns the matched response. See waiting for event for more details about events.
Usage
// Start waiting for response before clicking. Note no await.
const responsePromise = page.waitForResponse('https://example.com/resource');
await page.getByText('trigger response').click();
const response = await responsePromise;
// Alternative way with a predicate. Note no await.
const responsePromise = page.waitForResponse(response =>
response.url() === 'https://example.com' && response.status() === 200
&& response.request().method() === 'GET'
);
await page.getByText('trigger response').click();
const response = await responsePromise;Parameters
externalurlOrPredicate: string | RegExp | (response) => boolean | Promise<boolean>
externaloptionaloptions: { timeout?: number }
externaloptionaltimeout: number
Maximum wait time in milliseconds, defaults to 30 seconds, pass
0to disable the timeout. The default value can be changed by using the browserContext.setDefaultTimeout(timeout) or page.setDefaultTimeout(timeout) methods.
Returns Promise<Response>
externalinheritedwaitForSelector
NOTE Use web assertions that assert visibility or a locator-based locator.waitFor([options]) instead. Read more about locators.
Returns when element specified by selector satisfies
stateoption. Returnsnullif waiting forhiddenordetached.NOTE Playwright automatically waits for element to be ready before performing an action. Using Locator objects and web-first assertions makes the code wait-for-selector-free.
Wait for the
selectorto satisfystateoption (either appear/disappear from dom, or become visible/hidden). If at the moment of calling the methodselectoralready satisfies the condition, the method will return immediately. If the selector doesn't satisfy the condition for thetimeoutmilliseconds, the function will throw.Usage
This method works across navigations:
const { chromium } = require('playwright'); // Or 'firefox' or 'webkit'.
(async () => {
const browser = await chromium.launch();
const page = await browser.newPage();
for (const 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();
})();Parameters
externalselector: K
A selector to query for.
externaloptionaloptions: PageWaitForSelectorOptionsNotHidden
Returns Promise<ElementHandleForTag<K>>
externalinheritedwaitForTimeout
NOTE Never wait for timeout in production. Tests that wait for time are inherently flaky. Use Locator actions and web assertions that wait automatically.
Waits for the given
timeoutin milliseconds.Note that
page.waitForTimeout()should only be used for debugging. Tests using the timer in production are going to be flaky. Use signals such as network events, selectors becoming visible and others instead.Usage
// wait for 1 second
await page.waitForTimeout(1000);Parameters
externaltimeout: number
A timeout to wait for
Returns Promise<void>
externalinheritedwaitForURL
Waits for the main frame to navigate to the given URL.
Usage
await page.click('a.delayed-navigation'); // Clicking the link will indirectly cause a navigation
await page.waitForURL('**/target.html');Parameters
externalurl: string | RegExp | (url) => boolean
A glob pattern, regex pattern or predicate receiving [URL] to match while waiting for the navigation. Note that if the parameter is a string without wildcard characters, the method will wait for navigation to URL that is exactly equal to the string.
