async method: LocatorAssertions.toContainClass

• since: v1.52
• langs:
  • alias-java: containsClass

Ensures the [Locator] points to an element with given CSS classes. All classes from the asserted value, separated by spaces, must be present in the Element.classList in any order.

Usage

<div class='middle selected row' id='component'></div>

const locator = page.locator('#component');
await expect(locator).toContainClass('middle selected row');
await expect(locator).toContainClass('selected');
await expect(locator).toContainClass('row middle');

assertThat(page.locator("#component")).containsClass("middle selected row");
assertThat(page.locator("#component")).containsClass("selected");
assertThat(page.locator("#component")).containsClass("row middle");

from playwright.async_api import expect

locator = page.locator("#component")
await expect(locator).to_contain_class("middle selected row")
await expect(locator).to_contain_class("selected")
await expect(locator).to_contain_class("row middle")

from playwright.sync_api import expect

locator = page.locator("#component")
expect(locator).to_contain_class("middle selected row")
expect(locator).to_contain_class("selected")
expect(locator).to_contain_class("row middle")

var locator = Page.Locator("#component");
await Expect(locator).ToContainClassAsync("middle selected row");
await Expect(locator).ToContainClassAsync("selected");
await Expect(locator).ToContainClassAsync("row middle");

When an array is passed, the method asserts that the list of elements located matches the corresponding list of expected class lists. Each element's class attribute is matched against the corresponding class in the array:

<div class='list'>
  <div class='component inactive'></div>
  <div class='component active'></div>
  <div class='component inactive'></div>
</div>

const locator = page.locator('.list > .component');
await expect(locator).toContainClass(['inactive', 'active', 'inactive']);

assertThat(page.locator(".list > .component")).containsClass(Arrays.asList("inactive", "active", "inactive"));

from playwright.async_api import expect

locator = page.locator(".list > .component")
await expect(locator).to_contain_class(["inactive", "active", "inactive"])

from playwright.sync_api import expect

locator = page.locator(".list > .component")
await expect(locator).to_contain_class(["inactive", "active", "inactive"])

var locator = Page.Locator(".list > .component");
await Expect(locator).ToContainClassAsync(new string[]{"inactive", "active", "inactive"});

param: LocatorAssertions.toContainClass.expected

• since: v1.52

async method: LocatorAssertions.toContainText

• since: v1.20
• langs:
  • alias-java: containsText

Ensures the [Locator] points to an element that contains the given text. All nested elements will be considered when computing the text content of the element. You can use regular expressions for the value as well.

Details

When expected parameter is a string, Playwright will normalize whitespaces and line breaks both in the actual text and in the expected string before matching. When regular expression is used, the actual text is matched as is.

Usage

const locator = page.locator('.title');
await expect(locator).toContainText('substring');
await expect(locator).toContainText(/\d messages/);

assertThat(page.locator(".title")).containsText("substring");

import re
from playwright.async_api import expect

locator = page.locator('.title')
await expect(locator).to_contain_text("substring")
await expect(locator).to_contain_text(re.compile(r"\d messages"))

import re
from playwright.sync_api import expect

locator = page.locator('.title')
expect(locator).to_contain_text("substring")
expect(locator).to_contain_text(re.compile(r"\d messages"))

var locator = Page.Locator(".title");
await Expect(locator).ToContainTextAsync("substring");
await Expect(locator).ToContainTextAsync(new Regex("\\d messages"));

If you pass an array as an expected value, the expectations are:

1. Locator resolves to a list of elements.
2. Elements from a subset of this list contain text from the expected array, respectively.
3. The matching subset of elements has the same order as the expected array.
4. Each text value from the expected array is matched by some element from the list.

For example, consider the following list:

<ul>
  <li>Item Text 1</li>
  <li>Item Text 2</li>
  <li>Item Text 3</li>
</ul>

Let's see how we can use the assertion:

// ✓ Contains the right items in the right order
await expect(page.locator('ul > li')).toContainText(['Text 1', 'Text 3']);

// ✖ Wrong order
await expect(page.locator('ul > li')).toContainText(['Text 3', 'Text 2']);

// ✖ No item contains this text
await expect(page.locator('ul > li')).toContainText(['Some 33']);

// ✖ Locator points to the outer list element, not to the list items
await expect(page.locator('ul')).toContainText(['Text 3']);

// ✓ Contains the right items in the right order
assertThat(page.locator("ul > li")).containsText(new String[] {"Text 1", "Text 3"});

// ✖ Wrong order
assertThat(page.locator("ul > li")).containsText(new String[] {"Text 3", "Text 2"});

// ✖ No item contains this text
assertThat(page.locator("ul > li")).containsText(new String[] {"Some 33"});

// ✖ Locator points to the outer list element, not to the list items
assertThat(page.locator("ul")).containsText(new String[] {"Text 3"});

from playwright.async_api import expect

# ✓ Contains the right items in the right order
await expect(page.locator("ul > li")).to_contain_text(["Text 1", "Text 3"])

# ✖ Wrong order
await expect(page.locator("ul > li")).to_contain_text(["Text 3", "Text 2"])

# ✖ No item contains this text
await expect(page.locator("ul > li")).to_contain_text(["Some 33"])

# ✖ Locator points to the outer list element, not to the list items
await expect(page.locator("ul")).to_contain_text(["Text 3"])

from playwright.sync_api import expect

# ✖ Locator points to the outer list element, not to the list items
expect(page.locator("ul")).to_contain_text(["Text 3"])

// ✓ Contains the right items in the right order
await Expect(Page.Locator("ul > li")).ToContainTextAsync(new string[] {"Text 1", "Text 3"});

async method: LocatorAssertions.toHaveText

• since: v1.20
• langs:
  • alias-java: hasText

Ensures the [Locator] points to an element with the given text. All nested elements will be considered when computing the text content of the element. You can use regular expressions for the value as well.

Details

When expected parameter is a string, Playwright will normalize whitespaces and line breaks both in the actual text and in the expected string before matching. When regular expression is used, the actual text is matched as is.

Usage

const locator = page.locator('.title');
await expect(locator).toHaveText(/Welcome, Test User/);
await expect(locator).toHaveText(/Welcome, .*/);

assertThat(page.locator(".title")).hasText("Welcome, Test User");
assertThat(page.locator(".title")).hasText(Pattern.compile("Welcome, .*"));

import re
from playwright.async_api import expect

locator = page.locator(".title")
await expect(locator).to_have_text(re.compile(r"Welcome, Test User"))
await expect(locator).to_have_text(re.compile(r"Welcome, .*"))

import re
from playwright.sync_api import expect

locator = page.locator(".title")
expect(locator).to_have_text(re.compile(r"Welcome, Test User"))
expect(locator).to_have_text(re.compile(r"Welcome, .*"))

var locator = Page.Locator(".title");
await Expect(locator).ToHaveTextAsync(new Regex("Welcome, Test User"));
await Expect(locator).ToHaveTextAsync(new Regex("Welcome, .*"));

If you pass an array as an expected value, the expectations are:

1. Locator resolves to a list of elements.
2. The number of elements equals the number of expected values in the array.
3. Elements from the list have text matching expected array values, one by one, in order.

For example, consider the following list:

<ul>
  <li>Text 1</li>
  <li>Text 2</li>
  <li>Text 3</li>
</ul>

Let's see how we can use the assertion:

// ✓ Has the right items in the right order
await expect(page.locator('ul > li')).toHaveText(['Text 1', 'Text 2', 'Text 3']);

// ✖ Wrong order
await expect(page.locator('ul > li')).toHaveText(['Text 3', 'Text 2', 'Text 1']);

// ✖ Last item does not match
await expect(page.locator('ul > li')).toHaveText(['Text 1', 'Text 2', 'Text']);

// ✖ Locator points to the outer list element, not to the list items
await expect(page.locator('ul')).toHaveText(['Text 1', 'Text 2', 'Text 3']);

// ✓ Has the right items in the right order
assertThat(page.locator("ul > li")).hasText(new String[] {"Text 1", "Text 2", "Text 3"});

// ✖ Wrong order
assertThat(page.locator("ul > li")).hasText(new String[] {"Text 3", "Text 2", "Text 1"});

// ✖ Last item does not match
assertThat(page.locator("ul > li")).hasText(new String[] {"Text 1", "Text 2", "Text"});

// ✖ Locator points to the outer list element, not to the list items
assertThat(page.locator("ul")).hasText(new String[] {"Text 1", "Text 2", "Text 3"});

from playwright.async_api import expect

# ✓ Has the right items in the right order
await expect(page.locator("ul > li")).to_have_text(["Text 1", "Text 2", "Text 3"])

# ✖ Wrong order
await expect(page.locator("ul > li")).to_have_text(["Text 3", "Text 2", "Text 1"])

# ✖ Last item does not match
await expect(page.locator("ul > li")).to_have_text(["Text 1", "Text 2", "Text"])

# ✖ Locator points to the outer list element, not to the list items
await expect(page.locator("ul")).to_have_text(["Text 1", "Text 2", "Text 3"])

from playwright.sync_api import expect

# ✓ Has the right items in the right order
expect(page.locator("ul > li")).to_have_text(["Text 1", "Text 2", "Text 3"])

# ✖ Wrong order
expect(page.locator("ul > li")).to_have_text(["Text 3", "Text 2", "Text 1"])

# ✖ Last item does not match
expect(page.locator("ul > li")).to_have_text(["Text 1", "Text 2", "Text"])

# ✖ Locator points to the outer list element, not to the list items
expect(page.locator("ul")).to_have_text(["Text 1", "Text 2", "Text 3"])

// ✓ Has the right items in the right order
await Expect(Page.Locator("ul > li")).ToHaveTextAsync(new string[] {"Text 1", "Text 2", "Text 3"});

// ✖ Wrong order

// ✖ Last item does not match

// ✖ Locator points to the outer list element, not to the list items
await Expect(Page.Locator("ul")).ToHaveTextAsync(new string[] {"Text 1", "Text 2", "Text 3"});
