About The Video
Watch this video to learn how to use different element selectors in Playwright and leverage them for efficient automation testing.
In Playwright, you can use various types of selectors, including CSS selectors, XPath, text-based selectors, role-based selectors, and attribute-based selectors. Playwright also supports complex locators like nth-child and dynamic locators, making it versatile for interacting with different elements on a webpage efficiently.

Key Topics Covered
Overview of Selectors in Playwright:
It starts by discussing how Playwright offers several selector types similar to Selenium but with additional capabilities.
The speaker highlights selectors such as CSS selectors, XPath, text-based selectors, role-based selectors, and attribute-based selectors.
Explanation of Text Selectors:
The video goes into detail about using text selectors for identifying elements based on their displayed text. An example is given where a button or link with specific text can be targeted directly using text="value".
Handling Multiple Matches:
If multiple elements share the same text, the tutorial explains how Playwright will interact with the first visible or non-hidden element by default. For situations like these, it advises using more specific locators like XPath.
Creating XPath Locators:
The speaker walks through crafting custom XPath expressions to accurately locate elements on the page when multiple matches exist.
Hover Actions:
Demonstrates how performing hover actions in Playwright is simplified. Unlike Selenium, Playwright offers a direct method (hover) which automatically identifies and interacts with the element.
Direct Locator Identification:
The video emphasizes how in Playwright, the locator dynamically identifies the element's selector type (CSS, ID, XPath, etc.) during runtime.
