Stable API Description

This API is built on top of Playwright to control browsers. The most common commands are:

• click
• clickType
• verifyTextExistInPage

Parameters

• selectors - An object that can contain the name of the element as well as multiple selectors (CSS, ARIA, etc.) used to locate the element.
• world - Used as part of cucumber-js.
• _params - An object that includes the original function parameters (used in dynamic selectors).
• options - Can be used to set the timeout ({timeout: 30000} is the default).
• climb - After finding the element using the selectors, will climb the DOM.

Unless stated otherwise, the APIs will return an information object and will throw an error in case of failure.

Code Use Cases

Original Function

async function login_with_user_and_password(_username, _password) {
  const _params = { _username, _password };
  // Fill Username textbox with "_username"
  await context.web.clickType(elements["textbox_username"], _username, false, _params, null, this);
  // Fill Password textbox with "_password"
  await context.web.clickType(elements["textbox_password"], _password, false, _params, null, this);
  // Click on Login button
  await context.web.click(elements["button_login"], _params, null, this);
}

Example 1: Continue execution if step fails

async function login_with_user_and_password(_username, _password) {
  const _params = { _username, _password };
  try {
    await context.web.clickType(elements["textbox_username"], _username, false, _params, null, this);
    await context.web.clickType(elements["textbox_password"], _password, false, _params, null, this);
    await context.web.click(elements["button_login"], _params, null, this);
  } catch (error) {}
}

Example 2: Perform action only if "textbox_username" is found

async function login_with_user_and_password(_username, _password) {
  const _params = { _username, _password };
  if (await context.web.waitForElement(elements["textbox_username"], _params, { timeout: 4000 }, this)) {
    await context.web.clickType(elements["textbox_username"], _username, false, _params, null, this);
    await context.web.clickType(elements["textbox_password"], _password, false, _params, null, this);
    await context.web.click(elements["button_login"], _params, null, this);
  }
}

Example 3: Retry step if it fails

async function login_with_user_and_password(_username, _password) {
  const _params = { _username, _password };
  const maxRetry = 2;
  for (let i = 0; i < maxRetry; i++) {
    try {
      await context.web.clickType(elements["textbox_username"], _username, false, _params, null, this);
      await context.web.clickType(elements["textbox_password"], _password, false, _params, null, this);
      await context.web.click(elements["button_login"], _params, null, this);
      break;
    } catch (error) {
      if (i === maxRetry - 1) {
        throw error;
      }
    }
  }
}

Example 4: Set click timeout to 2 minutes

async function login_with_user_and_password(_username, _password) {
  const _params = { _username, _password };
  await context.web.clickType(elements["textbox_username"], _username, false, _params, { timeout: 120000 }, this);
  await context.web.clickType(elements["textbox_password"], _password, false, _params, { timeout: 120000 }, this);
  await context.web.click(elements["button_login"], _params, { timeout: 120000 }, this);
}
