How to use on_download method in Playwright Python

Type F12 in Google Chrome and go to the console.

Write $x() and place the xpath selector inside the parenthesis. Hit the enter key and make sure you actually find the right selector.

No need to use e.value, you can do something like this:

p1 = page.locator("//*[@id='rc-tabs-1-panel-apikey']/div/span/input")
p1text = p1.inner_text

Also - use * as less as possible. If the element with the id is a div write div for example and not *. It makes the searching faster.

I was able to get the titles of the news articles with the following code:

from playwright.sync_api import sync_playwright

with sync_playwright() as p:
  browser = p.chromium.launch(headless=False)
  page = browser.new_page()
  page.goto('https://blog.coinbase.com/', wait_until='domcontentloaded')
  elements = page.query_selector_all('*[data-post-id]')
  titles = []
  for element in elements:
    try:
      title = element.query_selector('h3 div')
      title = title.text_content()
      if not title in titles:
        titles.append(title)
    except Exception as e:
      continue
  print(titles)

It might not be exactly what you're looking for but hopefully it gets you in the right direction!

The issue is the docker image you have selected (alpine) architecture tags dont match any that playwright supports.

python:3.9:alpine

/code/src # pip debug --verbose | grep "py3-"
WARNING: This command is only meant for debugging. Do not use this with automation for parsing and getting these details, since the output and options of this command may change without notice.

playwright tags

/code/src # pip install playwright -vv | grep "Skipping link" | cut -f2 -d'(' | cut -f1 -d')' | grep "^py3" | sort -u

This is why pip is telling you there is no matching distribution because its checking all the builds for playwright against the builds alpine linux wants and there isnt a common one, so it cannot install. You will need to use a docker image with an architecture that playwright is built against and supports. You can see this in more detail if you run pip install playwright -vv in the alpine linux image

Playwright handle differently with elements than the older python browsers...

in dropdown you should page.select_option(selector)

that's also why in Playwright you can't click a check box, you should page.check(selector) https://playwright.dev/python/docs/api/class-page#page-select-option

So, it seems that this is simply not directly possible with python-playwright, nor is it going to be. From this discussion, I gathered that the dialog...

"[...] is not a part of the web, it is a part of the browser, so we don't automate it."

There are workarounds, e.g. to trigger a download in a different way, but this would then not involve handling the browser dialog, as stated in the question.

Not guaranteed for success. Change the parameters in function async_cf_retry if it tends to fail. I wrote this code by modifying my heavy modules, so it may not work elegantly.

        try:
            title = await page.title()

If download <Download url='https://www.historique-meteo.net/site/export.php?ville_id=1067' suggested_filename='export-aix-les-bains.csv'> is shown in the console, the browser must be downloading your file.
This code may keep trying to get a cloudflare clearance even if the file has been downloaded. Edit your strategies in async_cf_retry if this happens.
Use persisent context offered by playwright to save and reuse your cloudflare clearance. Consider downloading with httpx.

You can simply do as below: (JavaScript)

 const list = await page.locator('locator').allTextContents()
 console.log("The Paragraphs List: => "+ list)

I know you said you're sure the element exists but I would still suggest using page.wait_for_selector() instead because I've run into a few situations where the element simply wasn't ready yet even though it seemed like it should be:

table = page.wait_for_selector('#grvPedidos')
print(table.inner_html())

Note that I'm using synchronous Playwright.

I have come up with a solution in Node js puppeteer and I think it work the same way in python. As far as why the button isn't being pressed, I have no idea. But, what does work is entering an address and then clicking the first address suggestion.

Here is my code:

const puppeteer = require('puppeteer');
async function start(){
    const browser = await puppeteer.launch()
    const page = await browser.newPage()
    await page.goto("https://www.ubereats.com/ca")
    await page.type("#location-typeahead-home-input", "Address")
    await page.waitForSelector('#location-typeahead-home-item-0');
    await page.click("#location-typeahead-home-item-0")
    await page.waitForNavigation()

    console.log(page.url())
    await browser.close()
}

start()
