class: Page

• since: v1.8

Page provides methods to interact with a single tab in a [Browser], or an extension background page in Chromium. One [Browser] instance might have multiple [Page] instances.

This example creates a page, navigates it to a URL, and then saves a screenshot:

const { webkit } = require('playwright');  // Or 'chromium' or 'firefox'.

(async () => {
  const browser = await webkit.launch();
  const context = await browser.newContext();
  const page = await context.newPage();
  await page.goto('https://example.com');
  await page.screenshot({ path: 'screenshot.png' });
  await browser.close();
})();

import com.microsoft.playwright.*;

public class Example {
  public static void main(String[] args) {
    try (Playwright playwright = Playwright.create()) {
      BrowserType webkit = playwright.webkit();
      Browser browser = webkit.launch();
      BrowserContext context = browser.newContext();
      Page page = context.newPage();
      page.navigate("https://example.com");
      page.screenshot(new Page.ScreenshotOptions().setPath(Paths.get("screenshot.png")));
      browser.close();
    }
  }
}

import asyncio
from playwright.async_api import async_playwright, Playwright

async def run(playwright: Playwright):
    webkit = playwright.webkit
    browser = await webkit.launch()
    context = await browser.new_context()
    page = await context.new_page()
    await page.goto("https://example.com")
    await page.screenshot(path="screenshot.png")
    await browser.close()

async def main():
    async with async_playwright() as playwright:
        await run(playwright)
asyncio.run(main())

from playwright.sync_api import sync_playwright, Playwright

def run(playwright: Playwright):
    webkit = playwright.webkit
    browser = webkit.launch()
    context = browser.new_context()
    page = context.new_page()
    page.goto("https://example.com")
    page.screenshot(path="screenshot.png")
    browser.close()

with sync_playwright() as playwright:
    run(playwright)

using Microsoft.Playwright;
using System.Threading.Tasks;

class PageExamples
{
    public static async Task Run()
    {
        using var playwright = await Playwright.CreateAsync();
        await using var browser = await playwright.Webkit.LaunchAsync();
        var page = await browser.NewPageAsync();
        await page.GotoAsync("https://www.theverge.com");
        await page.ScreenshotAsync(new() { Path = "theverge.png" });
    }
}

The Page class emits various events (described below) which can be handled using any of Node's native EventEmitter methods, such as on, once or removeListener.

This example logs a message for a single page load event:

page.once('load', () => console.log('Page loaded!'));

page.onLoad(p -> System.out.println("Page loaded!"));

page.once("load", lambda: print("page loaded!"))

page.Load += (_, _) => Console.WriteLine("Page loaded!");

To unsubscribe from events use the removeListener method:

function logRequest(interceptedRequest) {
  console.log('A request was made:', interceptedRequest.url());
}
page.on('request', logRequest);
// Sometime later...
page.removeListener('request', logRequest);

Consumer<Request> logRequest = interceptedRequest -> {
  System.out.println("A request was made: " + interceptedRequest.url());
};
page.onRequest(logRequest);
// Sometime later...
page.offRequest(logRequest);

def log_request(intercepted_request):
    print("a request was made:", intercepted_request.url)
page.on("request", log_request)
# sometime later...
page.remove_listener("request", log_request)

void PageLoadHandler(object _, IPage p) {
    Console.WriteLine("Page loaded!");
};

page.Load += PageLoadHandler;
// Do some work...
page.Load -= PageLoadHandler;

property: Page.clock

• since: v1.45

• type: <[Clock]>

Playwright has ability to mock clock and passage of time.

event: Page.close

• since: v1.8

• argument: <[Page]>

Emitted when the page closes.

event: Page.console

• since: v1.8
• langs:
  • alias-java: consoleMessage

• argument: <[ConsoleMessage]>

Emitted when JavaScript within the page calls one of console API methods, e.g. console.log or console.dir.

The arguments passed into console.log are available on the [ConsoleMessage] event handler argument.

Usage

page.on('console', async msg => {
  const values = [];
  for (const arg of msg.args())
    values.push(await arg.jsonValue());
  console.log(...values);
});
await page.evaluate(() => console.log('hello', 5, { foo: 'bar' }));

page.onConsoleMessage(msg -> {
  for (int i = 0; i < msg.args().size(); ++i)
    System.out.println(i + ": " + msg.args().get(i).jsonValue());
});
page.evaluate("() => console.log('hello', 5, { foo: 'bar' })");

async def print_args(msg):
    values = []
    for arg in msg.args:
        values.append(await arg.json_value())
    print(values)

page.on("console", print_args)
await page.evaluate("console.log('hello', 5, { foo: 'bar' })")

def print_args(msg):
    for arg in msg.args:
        print(arg.json_value())

page.on("console", print_args)
page.evaluate("console.log('hello', 5, { foo: 'bar' })")

page.Console += async (_, msg) =>
{
    foreach (var arg in msg.Args)
        Console.WriteLine(await arg.JsonValueAsync<object>());
};

await page.EvaluateAsync("console.log('hello', 5, { foo: 'bar' })");

event: Page.crash

• since: v1.8

• argument: <[Page]>

Emitted when the page crashes. Browser pages might crash if they try to allocate too much memory. When the page crashes, ongoing and subsequent operations will throw.

The most common way to deal with crashes is to catch an exception:

try {
  // Crash might happen during a click.
  await page.click('button');
  // Or while waiting for an event.
  await page.waitForEvent('popup');
} catch (e) {
  // When the page crashes, exception message contains 'crash'.
}

try {
  // Crash might happen during a click.
  page.click("button");
  // Or while waiting for an event.
  page.waitForPopup(() -> {});
} catch (PlaywrightException e) {
  // When the page crashes, exception message contains "crash".
}

try:
    # crash might happen during a click.
    await page.click("button")
    # or while waiting for an event.
    await page.wait_for_event("popup")
except Error as e:
    pass
    # when the page crashes, exception message contains "crash".

try:
    # crash might happen during a click.
    page.click("button")
    # or while waiting for an event.
    page.wait_for_event("popup")
except Error as e:
    pass
    # when the page crashes, exception message contains "crash".

try {
  // Crash might happen during a click.
  await page.ClickAsync("button");
  // Or while waiting for an event.
  await page.WaitForPopup();
} catch (PlaywrightException e) {
  // When the page crashes, exception message contains "crash".
}

event: Page.dialog

• since: v1.8

• argument: <[Dialog]>

Emitted when a JavaScript dialog appears, such as alert, prompt, confirm or beforeunload. Listener must either [method: Dialog.accept] or [method: Dialog.dismiss] the dialog - otherwise the page will freeze waiting for the dialog, and actions like click will never finish.

Usage

page.on('dialog', dialog => dialog.accept());

page.onDialog(dialog -> {
  dialog.accept();
});

page.on("dialog", lambda dialog: dialog.accept())

page.RequestFailed += (_, request) =>
{
    Console.WriteLine(request.Url + " " + request.Failure);
};

:::note When no [event: Page.dialog] or [event: BrowserContext.dialog] listeners are present, all dialogs are automatically dismissed. :::

event: Page.DOMContentLoaded

• since: v1.9

• argument: <[Page]>

Emitted when the JavaScript DOMContentLoaded event is dispatched.

event: Page.download

• since: v1.8

• argument: <[Download]>

Emitted when attachment download started. User can access basic file operations on downloaded content via the passed [Download] instance.

event: Page.fileChooser

• since: v1.9

• argument: <[FileChooser]>

Emitted when a file chooser is supposed to appear, such as after clicking the <input type=file>. Playwright can respond to it via setting the input files using [method: FileChooser.setFiles] that can be uploaded after that.

page.on('filechooser', async fileChooser => {
  await fileChooser.setFiles(path.join(__dirname, '/tmp/myfile.pdf'));
});

page.onFileChooser(fileChooser -> {
  fileChooser.setFiles(Paths.get("/tmp/myfile.pdf"));
});

page.on("filechooser", lambda file_chooser: file_chooser.set_files("/tmp/myfile.pdf"))

page.FileChooser += (_, fileChooser) =>
{
    fileChooser.SetFilesAsync(@"C:\temp\myfile.pdf");
};

event: Page.frameAttached

• since: v1.9

• argument: <[Frame]>

Emitted when a frame is attached.

event: Page.frameDetached

• since: v1.9

• argument: <[Frame]>

Emitted when a frame is detached.

event: Page.frameNavigated

• since: v1.9

• argument: <[Frame]>

Emitted when a frame is navigated to a new url.

event: Page.load

• since: v1.8

• argument: <[Page]>

Emitted when the JavaScript load event is dispatched.

event: Page.pageError

• since: v1.9

• argument: <[Error]>

Emitted when an uncaught exception happens within the page.

// Log all uncaught errors to the terminal
page.on('pageerror', exception => {
  console.log(`Uncaught exception: "${exception}"`);
});

// Navigate to a page with an exception.
await page.goto('data:text/html,<script>throw new Error("Test")</script>');

// Log all uncaught errors to the terminal
page.onPageError(exception -> {
  System.out.println("Uncaught exception: " + exception);
});

// Navigate to a page with an exception.
page.navigate("data:text/html,<script>throw new Error('Test')</script>");

# Log all uncaught errors to the terminal
page.on("pageerror", lambda exc: print(f"uncaught exception: {exc}"))

# Navigate to a page with an exception.
await page.goto("data:text/html,<script>throw new Error('test')</script>")

# Log all uncaught errors to the terminal
page.on("pageerror", lambda exc: print(f"uncaught exception: {exc}"))

# Navigate to a page with an exception.
page.goto("data:text/html,<script>throw new Error('test')</script>")

// Log all uncaught errors to the terminal
page.PageError += (_, exception) =>
{
  Console.WriteLine("Uncaught exception: " + exception);
};

event: Page.pageError

• since: v1.9
• langs: csharp, java

• argument: <[string]>

event: Page.popup

• since: v1.8

• argument: <[Page]>

Emitted when the page opens a new tab or window. This event is emitted in addition to the [event: BrowserContext.page], but only for popups relevant to this page.

The earliest moment that page is available is when it has navigated to the initial url. For example, when opening a popup with window.open('http://example.com'), this event will fire when the network request to "http://example.com" is done and its response has started loading in the popup. If you would like to route/listen to this network request, use [method: BrowserContext.route] and [event: BrowserContext.request] respectively instead of similar methods on the [Page].

// Start waiting for popup before clicking. Note no await.
const popupPromise = page.waitForEvent('popup');
await page.getByText('open the popup').click();
const popup = await popupPromise;
console.log(await popup.evaluate('location.href'));

Page popup = page.waitForPopup(() -> {
  page.getByText("open the popup").click();
});
System.out.println(popup.evaluate("location.href"));

async with page.expect_event("popup") as page_info:
    await page.get_by_text("open the popup").click()
popup = await page_info.value
print(await popup.evaluate("location.href"))

with page.expect_event("popup") as page_info:
    page.get_by_text("open the popup").click()
popup = page_info.value
print(popup.evaluate("location.href"))

var popup = await page.RunAndWaitForPopupAsync(async () =>
{
    await page.GetByText("open the popup").ClickAsync();
});
Console.WriteLine(await popup.EvaluateAsync<string>("location.href"));

:::note Use [method: Page.waitForLoadState] to wait until the page gets to a particular state (you should not need it in most cases). :::

event: Page.request

• since: v1.8

• argument: <[Request]>

Emitted when a page issues a request. The [request] object is read-only. In order to intercept and mutate requests, see [method: Page.route] or [method: BrowserContext.route].

event: Page.requestFailed

• since: v1.9

• argument: <[Request]>

Emitted when a request fails, for example by timing out.

page.on('requestfailed', request => {
  console.log(request.url() + ' ' + request.failure().errorText);
});

page.onRequestFailed(request -> {
  System.out.println(request.url() + " " + request.failure());
});

page.on("requestfailed", lambda request: print(request.url + " " + request.failure.error_text))

:::note HTTP Error responses, such as 404 or 503, are still successful responses from HTTP standpoint, so request will complete with [event: Page.requestFinished] event and not with [event: Page.requestFailed]. A request will only be considered failed when the client cannot get an HTTP response from the server, e.g. due to network error net::ERR_FAILED. :::

event: Page.requestFinished

• since: v1.9

• argument: <[Request]>

Emitted when a request finishes successfully after downloading the response body. For a successful response, the sequence of events is request, response and requestfinished.

event: Page.response

• since: v1.8

• argument: <[Response]>

Emitted when [response] status and headers are received for a request. For a successful response, the sequence of events is request, response and requestfinished.

event: Page.webSocket

• since: v1.9

• argument: <[WebSocket]>

Emitted when [WebSocket] request is sent.

event: Page.worker

• since: v1.8

• argument: <[Worker]>

Emitted when a dedicated WebWorker is spawned by the page.

async method: Page.addInitScript

• since: v1.8

• returns: <[Disposable]>

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.random before 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);

// In your playwright script, assuming the preload.js file is in same directory
page.addInitScript(Paths.get("./preload.js"));

# in your playwright script, assuming the preload.js file is in same directory
await page.add_init_script(path="./preload.js")

# in your playwright script, assuming the preload.js file is in same directory
page.add_init_script(path="./preload.js")

await Page.AddInitScriptAsync(scriptPath: "./preload.js");

:::note The order of evaluation of multiple scripts installed via [method: BrowserContext.addInitScript] and [method: Page.addInitScript] is not defined. :::

async method: Page.bringToFront

• since: v1.8

Brings page to front (activates tab).

async method: Page.cancelPickLocator

• since: v1.59

Cancels an ongoing [method: Page.pickLocator] call by deactivating pick locator mode. If no pick locator mode is active, this method is a no-op.

async method: Page.check

• since: v1.8
• discouraged: Use locator-based [method: Locator.check] instead. Read more about locators.

This method checks an element matching [param: selector] by performing the following steps:

1. Find an element matching [param: selector]. If there is none, wait until a matching element is attached to the DOM.
2. 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.
3. Wait for actionability checks on the matched element, unless [option: 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 [property: Page.mouse] to click in the center of the element.
6. Ensure that the element is now checked. If not, this method throws.

When all steps combined have not finished during the specified [option: timeout], this method throws a [TimeoutError]. Passing zero timeout disables this.

async method: Page.dblclick

• since: v1.8
• discouraged: Use locator-based [method: Locator.dblclick] instead. Read more about locators.
• langs:
  • alias-csharp: DblClickAsync

This method double clicks an element matching [param: selector] by performing the following steps:

1. Find an element matching [param: selector]. If there is none, wait until a matching element is attached to the DOM.
2. Wait for actionability checks on the matched element, unless [option: force] option is set. If the element is detached during the checks, the whole action is retried.
3. Scroll the element into view if needed.
4. Use [property: Page.mouse] to double click in the center of the element, or the specified [option: position].

async method: Page.dispatchEvent

• since: v1.8
• discouraged: Use locator-based [method: Locator.dispatchEvent] instead. Read more about locators.

The snippet below 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().

Usage

await page.dispatchEvent('button#submit', 'click');

page.dispatchEvent("button#submit", "click");

await page.dispatch_event("button#submit", "click")

page.dispatch_event("button#submit", "click")

await page.DispatchEventAsync("button#submit", "click");

Under the hood, it creates an instance of an event based on the given [param: type], initializes it with [param: eventInit] properties and dispatches it on the element. Events are composed, cancelable and bubble by default.

Since [param: eventInit] is event-specific, please refer to the events documentation for the lists of initial properties:

• DeviceMotionEvent
• DeviceOrientationEvent
• DragEvent
• Event
• FocusEvent
• KeyboardEvent
• MouseEvent
• PointerEvent
• TouchEvent
• WheelEvent

You can also specify JSHandle as the property value if you want live objects to be passed into the event:

// Note you can only create DataTransfer in Chromium and Firefox
const dataTransfer = await page.evaluateHandle(() => new DataTransfer());
await page.dispatchEvent('#source', 'dragstart', { dataTransfer });

// Note you can only create DataTransfer in Chromium and Firefox
JSHandle dataTransfer = page.evaluateHandle("() => new DataTransfer()");
Map<String, Object> arg = new HashMap<>();
arg.put("dataTransfer", dataTransfer);
page.dispatchEvent("#source", "dragstart", arg);

# note you can only create data_transfer in chromium and firefox
data_transfer = await page.evaluate_handle("new DataTransfer()")
await page.dispatch_event("#source", "dragstart", { "dataTransfer": data_transfer })

async method: Page.evalOnSelector

• since: v1.9
• discouraged: This method does not wait for the element to pass actionability checks and therefore can lead to the flaky tests. Use [method: Locator.evaluate], other [Locator] helper methods or web-first assertions instead.
• langs:
  • alias-python: eval_on_selector
  • alias-js: $eval

• returns: <[Serializable]>

The method finds an element matching the specified selector within the page and passes it as a first argument to [param: expression]. If no elements match the selector, the method throws an error. Returns the value of [param: expression].

If [param: expression] returns a [Promise], then [method: Page.evalOnSelector] 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);

String searchValue = (String) page.evalOnSelector("#search", "el => el.value");
String preloadHref = (String) page.evalOnSelector("link[rel=preload]", "el => el.href");
String html = (String) page.evalOnSelector(".main-container", "(e, suffix) => e.outerHTML + suffix", "hello");

search_value = await page.eval_on_selector("#search", "el => el.value")

preload_href = page.eval_on_selector("link[rel=preload]", "el => el.href")
html = page.eval_on_selector(".main-container", "(e, suffix) => e.outer_html + suffix", "hello")

var searchValue = await page.EvalOnSelectorAsync<string>("#search", "el => el.value");

async method: Page.evalOnSelectorAll

• since: v1.9
• discouraged: In most cases, [method: Locator.evaluateAll], other [Locator] helper methods and web-first assertions do a better job.
• langs:
  • alias-python: eval_on_selector_all
  • alias-js: $$eval

• returns: <[Serializable]>

The method finds all elements matching the specified selector within the page and passes an array of matched elements as a first argument to [param: expression]. Returns the result of [param: expression] invocation.

If [param: expression] returns a [Promise], then [method: Page.evalOnSelectorAll] would wait for the promise to resolve and return its value.

Usage

const divCounts = await page.$$eval('div', (divs, min) => divs.length >= min, 10);

boolean divCounts = (boolean) page.evalOnSelectorAll("div", "(divs, min) => divs.length >= min", 10);

async method: Page.evaluate

• since: v1.8

• returns: <[Serializable]>

Returns the value of the [param: expression] invocation.

If the function passed to the [method: Page.evaluate] returns a [Promise], then [method: Page.evaluate] would wait for the promise to resolve and return its value.

If the function passed to the [method: Page.evaluate] returns a non-[Serializable] value, then [method: Page.evaluate] resolves to undefined. Playwright also supports transferring some additional values that are not serializable by JSON: -0, NaN, Infinity, -Infinity.

Usage

Passing argument to [param: expression]:

const result = await page.evaluate(([x, y]) => {
  return Promise.resolve(x * y);
}, [7, 8]);
console.log(result); // prints "56"

Object result = page.evaluate("([x, y]) => {\n" +
  "  return Promise.resolve(x * y);\n" +
  "}", Arrays.asList(7, 8));
System.out.println(result); // prints "56"

result = await page.evaluate("([x, y]) => Promise.resolve(x * y)", [7, 8])
print(result) # prints "56"

result = page.evaluate("([x, y]) => Promise.resolve(x * y)", [7, 8])
print(result) # prints "56"

var result = await page.EvaluateAsync<int>("([x, y]) => Promise.resolve(x * y)", new[] { 7, 8 });
Console.WriteLine(result);

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"

System.out.println(page.evaluate("1 + 2")); // prints "3"

print(await page.evaluate("1 + 2")) # prints "3"
x = 10
print(await page.evaluate(f"1 + {x}")) # prints "11"

print(page.evaluate("1 + 2")) # prints "3"
x = 10
print(page.evaluate(f"1 + {x}")) # prints "11"

Console.WriteLine(await page.EvaluateAsync<int>("1 + 2")); // prints "3"

[ElementHandle] instances can be passed as an argument to the [method: Page.evaluate]:

const bodyHandle = await page.evaluateHandle('document.body');
const html = await page.evaluate<string, HTMLElement>(([body, suffix]) =>
  body.innerHTML + suffix, [bodyHandle, 'hello']
);
await bodyHandle.dispose();

• returns: <[JSHandle]>

Returns the value of the [param: expression] invocation as a [JSHandle].

The only difference between [method: Page.evaluate] and [method: Page.evaluateHandle] is that [method: Page.evaluateHandle] returns [JSHandle].

If the function passed to the [method: Page.evaluateHandle] returns a [Promise], then [method: Page.evaluateHandle] 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));

// Handle for the window object.
JSHandle aWindowHandle = page.evaluateHandle("() => Promise.resolve(window)");

async method: Page.exposeBinding

• since: v1.8

• returns: <[Disposable]>

The method adds a function called [param: name] on the window object of every frame in this page. When called, the function executes [param: callback] and returns a [Promise] which resolves to the return value of [param: callback]. If the [param: callback] returns a [Promise], it will be awaited.

The first argument of the [param: callback] function contains information about the caller: { browserContext: BrowserContext, page: Page, frame: Frame }.

See [method: BrowserContext.exposeBinding] for the context-wide version.

async method: Page.fill

• since: v1.8
• discouraged: Use locator-based [method: Locator.fill] instead. Read more about locators.

This method waits for an element matching [param: selector], 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 [method: Locator.pressSequentially].

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 a WeakRef.

// 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);

// 1. In your page, save a WeakRef for the "suspect".
page.evaluate("globalThis.suspectWeakRef = new WeakRef(suspect)");
// 2. Request garbage collection.
page.requestGC();
// 3. Check that weak ref does not deref to the original object.
assertTrue(page.evaluate("!globalThis.suspectWeakRef.deref()"));

# 1. In your page, save a WeakRef for the "suspect".
await page.evaluate("globalThis.suspectWeakRef = new WeakRef(suspect)")
# 2. Request garbage collection.
await page.request_gc()
# 3. Check that weak ref does not deref to the original object.
assert await page.evaluate("!globalThis.suspectWeakRef.deref()")

# 1. In your page, save a WeakRef for the "suspect".
page.evaluate("globalThis.suspectWeakRef = new WeakRef(suspect)")
# 2. Request garbage collection.
page.request_gc()
# 3. Check that weak ref does not deref to the original object.
assert page.evaluate("!globalThis.suspectWeakRef.deref()")

// 1. In your page, save a WeakRef for the "suspect".
await Page.EvaluateAsync("globalThis.suspectWeakRef = new WeakRef(suspect)");
// 2. Request garbage collection.
await Page.RequestGCAsync();
// 3. Check that weak ref does not deref to the original object.

async method: Page.goto

• since: v1.8
• langs:
  • alias-java: navigate

• returns: <[null]|[Response]>

Returns the main resource response. In case of multiple redirects, the navigation will resolve with the first non-redirect response.

The method will throw an error if:

• there's an SSL error (e.g. in case of self-signed certificates).
• target URL is invalid.
• the [option: timeout] is exceeded during navigation.
• the remote server does not respond or is unreachable.
• the main resource failed to load.

The method will not throw an error when any valid HTTP status code is returned by the remote server, including 404 "Not Found" and 500 "Internal Server Error". The status code for such responses can be retrieved by calling [method: Response.status].

:::note The method either throws an error or returns a main resource response. The only exceptions are navigation to about:blank or navigation to the same URL with a different hash, which would succeed and return null. :::

:::note Headless mode doesn't support navigation to a PDF document. See the upstream issue. :::

param: Page.goto.url

• since: v1.8

• url <[string]>

URL to navigate page to. The url should include scheme, e.g. https://. When a [option: Browser.newContext.baseURL] via the context options was provided and the passed URL is a path, it gets merged via the new URL() constructor.

async method: Page.hideHighlight

• since: v1.60

Hide all locator highlight overlays previously added by [method: Locator.highlight] on this page.

async method: Page.hover

• since: v1.8
• discouraged: Use locator-based [method: Locator.hover] instead. Read more about locators.

This method hovers over an element matching [param: selector] by performing the following steps:

1. Find an element matching [param: selector]. If there is none, wait until a matching element is attached to the DOM.
2. Wait for actionability checks on the matched element, unless [option: force] option is set. If the element is detached during the checks, the whole action is retried.
3. Scroll the element into view if needed.
4. Use [property: Page.mouse] to hover over the center of the element, or the specified [option: position].

When all steps combined have not finished during the specified [option: timeout], this method throws a [TimeoutError]. Passing zero timeout disables this.

method: Page.onceDialog

• since: v1.10
• langs: java

Adds one-off [Dialog] handler. The handler will be removed immediately after next [Dialog] is created.

page.onceDialog(dialog -> {

});

// prints 'foo'
System.out.println(page.evaluate("prompt('Enter string:')"));

// prints 'null' as the dialog will be auto-dismissed because there are no handlers.
System.out.println(page.evaluate("prompt('Enter string:')"));

This code above is equivalent to:

    page.offDialog(this);
  }
};

Usage

const locator = await page.pickLocator();
console.log(locator);

Locator locator = page.pickLocator();
System.out.println(locator);

locator = await page.pick_locator()
print(locator)

locator = page.pick_locator()

async method: Page.press

• since: v1.8
• discouraged: Use locator-based [method: Locator.press] instead. Read more about locators.

Focuses the element, and then uses [method: Keyboard.down] and [method: Keyboard.up].

[param: key] can specify the intended keyboardEvent.key value or a single character to generate the text for. A superset of the [param: 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 [param: key] in the upper case.

If [param: 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.

Usage

async method: Page.requests

• since: v1.56

• returns: <[Array]<[Request]>>

Returns up to (currently) 100 last network request from this page. See [event: Page.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 [event: Page.request] request are not collected, so there is a trade off between efficient memory usage with [method: Page.requests] and the amount of available information reported through [event: Page.request].

async method: Page.addLocatorHandler

• since: v1.42

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 [method: Page.addLocatorHandler].
• 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 [option: 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.

:::warning 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 [method: Locator.focus] followed by [method: Keyboard.press]. 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 [method: Locator.press] instead to avoid this problem.

Another example is a series of mouse actions, where [method: Mouse.move] is followed by [method: Mouse.down]. Again, when the handler runs between these two actions, the mouse position will be wrong during the mouse down. Prefer self-contained actions like [method: Locator.click] 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();

// Setup the handler.
page.addLocatorHandler(page.getByText("Sign up to the newsletter"), () -> {
  page.getByRole(AriaRole.BUTTON, new Page.GetByRoleOptions().setName("No thanks")).click();
});

// Write the test as usual.
page.navigate("https://example.com");
page.getByRole("button", Page.GetByRoleOptions().setName("Start here")).click();

# Setup the handler.
def handler():
  page.get_by_role("button", name="No thanks").click()
page.add_locator_handler(page.get_by_text("Sign up to the newsletter"), handler)

# Write the test as usual.
page.goto("https://example.com")
page.get_by_role("button", name="Start here").click()

# Setup the handler.
async def handler():

# Write the test as usual.
await page.goto("https://example.com")
await page.get_by_role("button", name="Start here").click()

// Setup the handler.
await page.AddLocatorHandlerAsync(page.GetByText("Sign up to the newsletter"), async () => {
  await page.GetByRole(AriaRole.Button, new() { Name = "No thanks" }).ClickAsync();
});

// Write the test as usual.
await page.GotoAsync("https://example.com");
await page.GetByRole("button", new() { Name = "Start here" }).ClickAsync();

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();

// Setup the handler.
page.addLocatorHandler(page.getByText("Confirm your security details"), () -> {
  page.getByRole(AriaRole.BUTTON, new Page.GetByRoleOptions().setName("Remind me later")).click();
});

// Write the test as usual.
page.navigate("https://example.com");
page.getByRole("button", Page.GetByRoleOptions().setName("Start here")).click();

# Setup the handler.
def handler():
  page.get_by_role("button", name="Remind me later").click()
page.add_locator_handler(page.get_by_text("Confirm your security details"), handler)

# Write the test as usual.
page.goto("https://example.com")
page.get_by_role("button", name="Start here").click()

# Setup the handler.
async def handler():
  await page.get_by_role("button", name="Remind me later").click()
await page.add_locator_handler(page.get_by_text("Confirm your security details"), handler)

# Write the test as usual.
await page.goto("https://example.com")
await page.get_by_role("button", name="Start here").click()

// Setup the handler.
await page.AddLocatorHandlerAsync(page.GetByText("Confirm your security details"), async () => {
  await page.GetByRole(AriaRole.Button, new() { Name = "Remind me later" }).ClickAsync();
});

// Write the test as usual.
await page.GotoAsync("https://example.com");
await page.GetByRole("button", new() { Name = "Start here" }).ClickAsync();

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 specify [option: noWaitAfter], 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();

// Setup the handler.
page.addLocatorHandler(page.locator("body"), () -> {
  page.evaluate("window.removeObstructionsForTestIfNeeded()");
}, new Page.AddLocatorHandlerOptions().setNoWaitAfter(true));

// Write the test as usual.
page.navigate("https://example.com");
page.getByRole("button", Page.GetByRoleOptions().setName("Start here")).click();

# Setup the handler.
def handler():
  page.evaluate("window.removeObstructionsForTestIfNeeded()")
page.add_locator_handler(page.locator("body"), handler, no_wait_after=True)

# Write the test as usual.
page.goto("https://example.com")
page.get_by_role("button", name="Start here").click()

# Setup the handler.
async def handler():
  await page.evaluate("window.removeObstructionsForTestIfNeeded()")
await page.add_locator_handler(page.locator("body"), handler, no_wait_after=True)

# Write the test as usual.
await page.goto("https://example.com")
await page.get_by_role("button", name="Start here").click()

// Setup the handler.
await page.AddLocatorHandlerAsync(page.Locator("body"), async () => {
  await page.EvaluateAsync("window.removeObstructionsForTestIfNeeded()");
}, new() { NoWaitAfter = true });

// Write the test as usual.
await page.GotoAsync("https://example.com");
await page.GetByRole("button", new() { Name = "Start here" }).ClickAsync();

Handler takes the original locator as an argument. You can also automatically remove the handler after a number of invocations by setting [option: times]:

await page.addLocatorHandler(page.getByLabel('Close'), async locator => {
  await locator.click();
}, { times: 1 });

page.addLocatorHandler(page.getByLabel("Close"), locator -> {
  locator.click();
}, new Page.AddLocatorHandlerOptions().setTimes(1));

def handler(locator):
  locator.click()
page.add_locator_handler(page.get_by_label("Close"), handler, times=1)

async def handler(locator):
  await locator.click()
await page.add_locator_handler(page.get_by_label("Close"), handler, times=1)

await page.AddLocatorHandlerAsync(page.GetByText("Sign up to the newsletter"), async locator => {
  await locator.ClickAsync();
}, new() { Times = 1 });

Locator passed to [method: Page.addLocatorHandler].

async method: Page.reload

• since: v1.8

• returns: <[null]|[Response]>

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.

property: Page.request

• since: v1.16
• langs:
  • alias-csharp: APIRequest

• type: <[APIRequestContext]>

API testing helper associated with this page. This method returns the same instance as [property: BrowserContext.request] on the page's context. See [property: BrowserContext.request] for more details.

async method: Page.route

• since: v1.8

• returns: <[Disposable]>

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 [method: Page.route] will not intercept requests intercepted by Service Worker. See this issue. We recommend disabling Service Workers when using request interception by setting [option: Browser.newContext.serviceWorkers] to 'block'. :::

:::note [method: Page.route] will not intercept the first request of a popup page. Use [method: BrowserContext.route] 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();

Page page = browser.newPage();
page.route("**/*.{png,jpg,jpeg}", route -> route.abort());
page.navigate("https://example.com");
browser.close();

page = await browser.new_page()
await page.route("**/*.{png,jpg,jpeg}", lambda route: route.abort())
await page.goto("https://example.com")
await browser.close()

page = browser.new_page()
page.route("**/*.{png,jpg,jpeg}", lambda route: route.abort())
page.goto("https://example.com")
browser.close()

var page = await browser.NewPageAsync();
await page.RouteAsync("**/*.{png,jpg,jpeg}", async r => await r.AbortAsync());
await page.GotoAsync("https://www.microsoft.com");

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();

Page page = browser.newPage();
page.route(Pattern.compile("(\\.png$)|(\\.jpg$)"),route -> route.abort());
page.navigate("https://example.com");
browser.close();

page = await browser.new_page()
await page.route(re.compile(r"(\.png$)|(\.jpg$)"), lambda route: route.abort())
await page.goto("https://example.com")
await browser.close()

page = browser.new_page()
page.route(re.compile(r"(\.png$)|(\.jpg$)"), lambda route: route.abort())
page.goto("https://example.com")
browser.close()

var page = await browser.NewPageAsync();
await page.RouteAsync(new Regex("(\\.png$)|(\\.jpg$)"), async r => await r.AbortAsync());
await page.GotoAsync("https://www.microsoft.com");

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.route("/api/**", route -> {
  if (route.request().postData().contains("my-string"))
    route.fulfill(new Route.FulfillOptions().setBody("mocked-data"));
  else
    route.resume();
});

async def handle_route(route: Route):
  if ("my-string" in route.request.post_data):
    await route.fulfill(body="mocked-data")
  else:
    await route.continue_()
await page.route("/api/**", handle_route)

def handle_route(route: Route):
  if ("my-string" in route.request.post_data):
    route.fulfill(body="mocked-data")
  else:
    route.continue_()
page.route("/api/**", handle_route)

await page.RouteAsync("/api/**", async r =>
{
  if (r.Request.PostData.Contains("my-string"))
      await r.FulfillAsync(new() { Body = "mocked-data" });
  else
      await r.ContinueAsync();
});

If a request matches multiple registered routes, the most recently registered route takes precedence.

Page routes take precedence over browser context routes (set up with [method: BrowserContext.route]) when request matches both handlers.

To remove a route with its handler you can use [method: Page.unroute].

:::note Enabling routing disables http cache. :::

• since: v1.8
• discouraged: Use locator-based [method: Locator.selectOption] instead. Read more about locators.

• returns: <[Array]<[string]>>

This method waits for an element matching [param: selector], waits for actionability checks, waits until all specified options are present in the <select> element and selects these options.

If the target element is not a <select> element, this method throws an error. However, if the element is inside the <label> element that has an associated control, the control will be used instead.

async method: Page.setChecked

• since: v1.15
• discouraged: Use locator-based [method: Locator.setChecked] instead. Read more about locators.

This method checks or unchecks an element matching [param: selector] by performing the following steps:

1. Find an element matching [param: selector]. If there is none, wait until a matching element is attached to the DOM.
2. Ensure that matched element is a checkbox or a radio input. If not, this method throws.
3. If the element already has the right checked state, this method returns immediately.
4. Wait for actionability checks on the matched element, unless [option: force] option is set. If the element is detached during the checks, the whole action is retried.
5. Scroll the element into view if needed.
6. Use [property: Page.mouse] to click in the center of the element.
7. Ensure that the element is now checked or unchecked. If not, this method throws.

When all steps combined have not finished during the specified [option: timeout], this method throws a [TimeoutError]. Passing zero timeout disables this.

async method: Page.setViewportSize

• since: v1.8

In the case of multiple pages in a single browser, each page can have its own viewport size. However, [method: Browser.newContext] allows to set viewport size (and more) for all pages in the context at once.

[method: Page.setViewportSize] will resize the page. A lot of websites don't expect phones to change size, so you should set the viewport size before navigating to the page. [method: Page.setViewportSize] will also reset screen size, use [method: Browser.newContext] with screen and viewport parameters if you need better control of these properties.

Usage

const page = await browser.newPage();
await page.setViewportSize({
  width: 640,
  height: 480,
});
await page.goto('https://example.com');

Page page = browser.newPage();

async method: Page.tap

• since: v1.8
• discouraged: Use locator-based [method: Locator.tap] instead. Read more about locators.

This method taps an element matching [param: selector] by performing the following steps:

2. Wait for actionability checks on the matched element, unless [option: force] option is set. If the element is detached during the checks, the whole action is retried.
3. Scroll the element into view if needed.
4. Use [property: Page.touchscreen] to tap the center of the element, or the specified [option: position].

When all steps combined have not finished during the specified [option: timeout], this method throws a [TimeoutError]. Passing zero timeout disables this.

2. Ensure that matched element is a checkbox or a radio input. If not, this method throws. If the element is already unchecked, this method returns immediately.
3. Wait for actionability checks on the matched element, unless [option: 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 [property: Page.mouse] to click in the center of the element.
6. Ensure that the element is now unchecked. If not, this method throws.

When all steps combined have not finished during the specified [option: timeout], this method throws a [TimeoutError]. Passing zero timeout disables this.

async method: Page.waitForLoadState

• since: v1.8

Returns when the required load state has been reached.

This resolves when the page reaches a required load state, load by 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.

page.getByRole(AriaRole.BUTTON).click(); // Click triggers navigation.
page.waitForLoadState(); // The promise resolves after "load" event.

await page.get_by_role("button").click() # click triggers navigation.
await page.wait_for_load_state() # the promise resolves after "load" event.

page.get_by_role("button").click() # click triggers navigation.
page.wait_for_load_state() # the promise resolves after "load" event.

await page.GetByRole(AriaRole.Button).ClickAsync(); // Click triggers navigation.
await page.WaitForLoadStateAsync(); // 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.

Page popup = page.waitForPopup(() -> {
  page.getByRole(AriaRole.BUTTON).click(); // Click triggers a popup.
});
// Wait for the "DOMContentLoaded" event
popup.waitForLoadState(LoadState.DOMCONTENTLOADED);
System.out.println(popup.title()); // Popup is ready to use.

async with page.expect_popup() as page_info:
    await page.get_by_role("button").click() # click triggers a popup.
popup = await page_info.value
# Wait for the "DOMContentLoaded" event.
await popup.wait_for_load_state("domcontentloaded")

• deprecated: This method is inherently racy, please use [method: Page.waitForURL] instead.
• langs:
  • alias-python: expect_navigation
  • alias-csharp: RunAndWaitForNavigation

• returns: <[null]|[Response]>

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 onclick handler that triggers navigation from a setTimeout. 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;

// The method returns after navigation has finished
Response response = page.waitForNavigation(() -> {
  // This action triggers the navigation after a timeout.
  page.getByText("Navigate after timeout").click();
});

async with page.expect_navigation():
    # This action triggers the navigation after a timeout.
    await page.get_by_text("Navigate after timeout").click()
# Resolves after navigation has finished

with page.expect_navigation():
    # This action triggers the navigation after a timeout.
    page.get_by_text("Navigate after timeout").click()
# Resolves after navigation has finished

await page.RunAndWaitForNavigationAsync(async () =>
{
    // This action triggers the navigation after a timeout.
    await page.GetByText("Navigate after timeout").ClickAsync();
});

// The method continues after navigation has finished

:::note Usage of the History API to change the URL is considered a navigation. :::

async method: Page.waitForResponse

• since: v1.8
• langs: python

• returns: <[EventContextManager]<[Response]>>

param: Page.waitForResponse.action = %%-csharp-wait-for-event-action-%%

• since: v1.12

param: Page.waitForResponse.urlOrPredicate

• since: v1.8

• urlOrPredicate <[string]|[RegExp]|[function]([Response]):[boolean]>

Request URL string, regex or predicate receiving [Response] object. When a [option: Browser.newContext.baseURL] via the context options was provided and the passed URL is a path, it gets merged via the new URL() constructor.

param: Page.waitForResponse.urlOrPredicate

• since: v1.8
• langs: js

• urlOrPredicate <[string]|[RegExp]|[function]([Response]):[boolean]|[Promise]<[boolean]>>

Request URL string, regex or predicate receiving [Response] object. When a [option: Browser.newContext.baseURL] via the context options was provided and the passed URL is a path, it gets merged via the new URL() constructor.

option: Page.waitForResponse.timeout

• since: v1.8

• timeout <[float]>

Maximum wait time in milliseconds, defaults to 30 seconds, pass 0 to disable the timeout. The default value can be changed by using the [method: BrowserContext.setDefaultTimeout] or [method: Page.setDefaultTimeout] methods.

option: Page.waitForResponse.signal = %%-wait-for-event-signal-%%

param: Page.waitForResponse.callback = %%-java-wait-for-event-callback-%%

• since: v1.9

async method: Page.waitForSelector

• since: v1.8
• discouraged: Use web assertions that assert visibility or a locator-based [method: Locator.waitFor] instead. Read more about locators.

• returns: <[null]|[ElementHandle]>

Returns when element specified by selector satisfies [option: state] option. Returns null if waiting for hidden or detached.

:::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 [param: selector] to satisfy [option: state] option (either appear/disappear from dom, or become visible/hidden). If at the moment of calling the method [param: selector] already satisfies the condition, the method will return immediately. If the selector doesn't satisfy the condition for the [option: timeout] milliseconds, 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();
})();

      Page page = browser.newPage();
      for (String currentURL : Arrays.asList("https://google.com", "https://bbc.com")) {
        page.navigate(currentURL);
        ElementHandle element = page.waitForSelector("img");
        System.out.println("Loaded image: " + element.getAttribute("src"));

async method: Page.waitForCondition

• since: v1.32
• langs: java

The method will block until the condition returns true. All Playwright events will be dispatched while the method is waiting for the condition.

Usage

Use the method to wait for a condition that depends on page events:

List<String> messages = new ArrayList<>();
page.onConsoleMessage(m -> messages.add(m.text()));
page.getByText("Submit button").click();
page.waitForCondition(() -> messages.size() > 3);

param: Page.waitForCondition.condition

• since: v1.32

• condition <[BooleanSupplier]>

Condition to wait for.

option: Page.waitForCondition.timeout = %%-wait-for-function-timeout-%%

• since: v1.32

async method: Page.waitForTimeout

• since: v1.8
• discouraged: 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 [param: timeout] in 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);

// wait for 1 second
page.waitForTimeout(1000);

# wait for 1 second
await page.wait_for_timeout(1000)

# wait for 1 second
page.wait_for_timeout(1000)

// Wait for 1 second
await page.WaitForTimeoutAsync(1000);
