Method: Playwright::Page#wait_for_selector

Defined in:

lib/playwright_api/page.rb

#wait_for_selector(selector, state: nil, timeout: nil) ⇒ Object

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

Wait for the selector to satisfy state option (either appear/disappear from dom, or become visible/hidden). If at the moment of calling the method selector already satisfies the condition, the method will return immediately. If the selector doesn’t satisfy the condition for the timeout milliseconds, the function will throw.

This method works across navigations:

“‘js const { chromium } = require(’playwright’); // Or ‘firefox’ or ‘webkit’.

(async () => {

const browser = await chromium.launch();
const page = await browser.newPage();
for (let 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();

})(); “‘
