Page

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:

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

To unsubscribe from events use the removeListener method:

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

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

Methods​

AddInitScriptAsync​

Added before v1.9 page.AddInitScriptAsync

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

The order of evaluation of multiple scripts installed via BrowserContext.AddInitScriptAsync() and Page.AddInitScriptAsync() is not defined.

Arguments

  • script string | string#

    Script to be evaluated in all pages in the browser context.

Returns

AddLocatorHandlerAsync​

Added in: v1.42 page.AddLocatorHandlerAsync

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 Page.AddLocatorHandlerAsync().
  • 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 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 Locator.FocusAsync() followed by Keyboard.PressAsync(). 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 Locator.PressAsync() instead to avoid this problem.

Another example is a series of mouse actions, where Mouse.MoveAsync() is followed by Mouse.DownAsync(). Again, when the handler runs between these two actions, the mouse position will be wrong during the mouse down. Prefer self-contained actions like Locator.ClickAsync() 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.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.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 NoWaitAfter, because the handler does not hide the <body> element.

// 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 Times:

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

Arguments

  • locator Locator#

    Locator that triggers the handler.

  • handler Func<Locator, Task>#

    Function that should be run once locator appears. This function should get rid of the element that blocks actions like click.

  • options PageAddLocatorHandlerOptions? (optional)

    • NoWaitAfter bool? (optional) Added in: v1.44#

      By default, after calling the handler Playwright will wait until the overlay becomes hidden, and only then Playwright will continue with the action/assertion that triggered the handler. This option allows to opt-out of this behavior, so that overlay can stay visible after the handler has run.

    • Times int? (optional) Added in: v1.44#

      Specifies the maximum number of times this handler should be called. Unlimited by default.

Returns

Returns

EvaluateAsync​

Added before v1.9 page.EvaluateAsync

Returns the value of the expression invocation.

If the function passed to the Page.EvaluateAsync() returns a Promise, then Page.EvaluateAsync() would wait for the promise to resolve and return its value.

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

Usage

Passing argument to expression:

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

ElementHandle instances can be passed as an argument to the Page.EvaluateAsync():

var bodyHandle = await page.EvaluateAsync("document.body");
var html = await page.EvaluateAsync<string>("([body, suffix]) => body.innerHTML + suffix", new object [] { bodyHandle, "hello" });
await bodyHandle.DisposeAsync();

Arguments

  • expression string#

    JavaScript expression to be evaluated in the browser context. If the expression evaluates to a function, the function is automatically invoked.

  • arg EvaluationArgument? (optional)#

    Optional argument to pass to expression.

Returns

  • [object]#

EvaluateHandleAsync​

Added before v1.9 page.EvaluateHandleAsync

Returns the value of the expression invocation as a JSHandle.

The only difference between Page.EvaluateAsync() and Page.EvaluateHandleAsync() is that Page.EvaluateHandleAsync() returns JSHandle.

If the function passed to the Page.EvaluateHandleAsync() returns a Promise, then Page.EvaluateHandleAsync() would wait for the promise to resolve and return its value.

Usage

// Handle for the window object.
var aWindowHandle = await page.EvaluateHandleAsync("() => Promise.resolve(window)");

A string can also be passed in instead of a function:

var docHandle = await page.EvaluateHandleAsync("document"); // Handle for the `document`

JSHandle instances can be passed as an argument to the Page.EvaluateHandleAsync():

var handle = await page.EvaluateHandleAsync("() => document.body");
var resultHandle = await page.EvaluateHandleAsync("([body, suffix]) => body.innerHTML + suffix", new object[] { handle, "hello" });
Console.WriteLine(await resultHandle.JsonValueAsync<string>());
await resultHandle.DisposeAsync();

Arguments

  • expression string#

    JavaScript expression to be evaluated in the browser context. If the expression evaluates to a function, the function is automatically invoked.

  • arg EvaluationArgument? (optional)#

    Optional argument to pass to expression.

Returns

ExposeBindingAsync​

Added before v1.9 page.ExposeBindingAsync

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

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

See BrowserContext.ExposeBindingAsync() for the context-wide version.

note

Functions installed via Page.ExposeBindingAsync() survive navigations.

Returns

ExposeFunctionAsync​

Added before v1.9 page.ExposeFunctionAsync

The method adds a function called name on the window object of every frame in the page. When called, the function executes callback and returns a Promise which resolves to the return value of callback.

If the callback returns a Promise, it will be awaited.

See BrowserContext.ExposeFunctionAsync() for context-wide exposed function.

note

Functions installed via Page.ExposeFunctionAsync() survive navigations.

Usage

<div>Hello</div>

You can locate by text substring, exact string, or a regular expression:

// Matches <span>
page.GetByText("world");

// Matches first <div>
page.GetByText("Hello world");

// Matches second <div>
page.GetByText("Hello", new() { Exact = true });

// Matches both <div>s
page.GetByText(new Regex("Hello"));

// Matches second <div>
page.GetByText(new Regex("^hello$", RegexOptions.IgnoreCase));

Arguments

  • text string | Regex#

    Text to locate the element for.

  • options PageGetByTextOptions? (optional)

    • Exact bool? (optional)#

      Whether to find an exact match: case-sensitive and whole-string. Default to false. Ignored when locating by a regular expression. Note that exact match still trims whitespace.

Returns

Details

Matching by text always normalizes whitespace, even with exact match. For example, it turns multiple spaces into one, turns line breaks into spaces and ignores leading and trailing whitespace.

Input elements of the type button and submit are matched by their value instead of the text content. For example, locating by text "Log in" matches <input type=button value="Log in">.

GetByTitle​

Added in: v1.27 page.GetByTitle

Allows locating elements by their title attribute.

Usage

Consider the following DOM structure.

<span title='Issues count'>25 issues</span>

You can check the issues count after locating it by the title text:

await Expect(Page.GetByTitle("Issues count")).toHaveText("25 issues");

Arguments

  • text string | Regex#

    Text to locate the element for.

  • options PageGetByTitleOptions? (optional)

    • Exact bool? (optional)#

      Whether to find an exact match: case-sensitive and whole-string. Default to false. Ignored when locating by a regular expression. Note that exact match still trims whitespace.

Returns

GoBackAsync​

Added before v1.9 page.GoBackAsync

Returns the main resource response. In case of multiple redirects, the navigation will resolve with the response of the last redirect. If cannot go back, returns null.

Navigate to the previous page in history.

Usage

await Page.GoBackAsync(options);

Arguments

  • options PageGoBackOptions? (optional)

    • Timeout [float]? (optional)#

      Maximum operation time in milliseconds, defaults to 30 seconds, pass 0 to disable timeout. The default value can be changed by using the BrowserContext.SetDefaultNavigationTimeout(), BrowserContext.SetDefaultTimeout(), Page.SetDefaultNavigationTimeout() or Page.SetDefaultTimeout() methods.

      • 'domcontentloaded' - consider operation to be finished when the DOMContentLoaded event is fired.
      • 'load' - consider operation to be finished when the load event is fired.
      • 'networkidle' - DISCOURAGED consider operation to be finished when there are no network connections for at least 500 ms. Don't use this method for testing, rely on web assertions to assess readiness instead.
      • 'commit' - consider operation to be finished when network response is received and the document started loading.

Returns

GoForwardAsync​

Added before v1.9 page.GoForwardAsync

Returns the main resource response. In case of multiple redirects, the navigation will resolve with the response of the last redirect. If cannot go forward, returns null.

Navigate to the next page in history.

Usage

await Page.GoForwardAsync(options);

Arguments

  • options PageGoForwardOptions? (optional)

    • Timeout [float]? (optional)#

      Maximum operation time in milliseconds, defaults to 30 seconds, pass 0 to disable timeout. The default value can be changed by using the BrowserContext.SetDefaultNavigationTimeout(), BrowserContext.SetDefaultTimeout(), Page.SetDefaultNavigationTimeout() or Page.SetDefaultTimeout() methods.

Returns

GotoAsync​

Added before v1.9 page.GotoAsync

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 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 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.

Usage

await Page.GotoAsync(url, options);

Arguments

  • url string#

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

  • options PageGotoOptions? (optional)

Returns

IsClosed​

Added before v1.9 page.IsClosed

Indicates that the page has been closed.

Usage

Page.IsClosed

Returns

Locator​

Added in: v1.14 page.Locator

The method returns an element locator that can be used to perform actions on this page / frame. Locator is resolved to the element immediately before performing an action, so a series of actions on the same locator can in fact be performed on different DOM elements. That would happen if the DOM structure between those actions has changed.

Learn more about locators.

Usage

Page.Locator(selector, options);

Arguments

  • selector string#

    A selector to use when resolving DOM element.

  • options PageLocatorOptions? (optional)

    • Has Locator? (optional)#

      Narrows down the results of the method to those which contain elements matching this relative locator. For example, article that has text=Playwright matches <article><div>Playwright</div></article>.

      Inner locator must be relative to the outer locator and is queried starting with the outer locator match, not the document root. For example, you can find content that has div in <article><content><div>Playwright</div></content></article>. However, looking for content that has article div will fail, because the inner locator must be relative and should not use any elements outside the content.

      Note that outer and inner locators must belong to the same frame. Inner locator must not contain FrameLocators.

    • HasNot Locator? (optional) Added in: v1.33#

      Matches elements that do not contain an element that matches an inner locator. Inner locator is queried against the outer one. For example, article that does not have div matches <article><span>Playwright</span></article>.

      Note that outer and inner locators must belong to the same frame. Inner locator must not contain FrameLocators.

    • HasNotText|HasNotTextRegex string? | Regex? (optional) Added in: v1.33#

      Matches elements that do not contain specified text somewhere inside, possibly in a child or a descendant element. When passed a string, matching is case-insensitive and searches for a substring.

    • HasText|HasTextRegex string? | Regex? (optional)#

      Matches elements containing specified text somewhere inside, possibly in a child or a descendant element. When passed a string, matching is case-insensitive and searches for a substring. For example, "Playwright" matches <article><div>Playwright</div></article>.

Returns

MainFrame​

Added before v1.9 page.MainFrame

The page's main frame. Page is guaranteed to have a main frame which persists during navigations.

Usage

Page.MainFrame

Returns

OpenerAsync​

Added before v1.9 page.OpenerAsync

Returns the opener for popup pages and null for others. If the opener has been closed already the returns null.

Usage

await Page.OpenerAsync();

Returns

PauseAsync​

Added in: v1.9 page.PauseAsync

Pauses script execution. Playwright will stop executing the script and wait for the user to either press 'Resume' button in the page overlay or to call playwright.resume() in the DevTools console.

User can inspect selectors or perform manual steps while paused. Resume will continue running the original script from the place it was paused.

note

This method requires Playwright to be started in a headed mode, with a falsy Headless option.

Usage

await Page.PauseAsync();

Returns

PdfAsync​

Added before v1.9 page.PdfAsync

Returns the PDF buffer.

note

Generating a pdf is currently only supported in Chromium headless.

page.pdf() generates a pdf of the page with print css media. To generate a pdf with screen media, call Page.EmulateMediaAsync() before calling page.pdf():

note

By default, page.pdf() generates a pdf with modified colors for printing. Use the -webkit-print-color-adjust property to force rendering of exact colors.

Usage

// Generates a PDF with 'screen' media type
await page.EmulateMediaAsync(new() { Media = Media.Screen });
await page.PdfAsync(new() { Path = "page.pdf" });

The Width, Height, and Margin options accept values labeled with units. Unlabeled values are treated as pixels.

A few examples:

  • page.pdf({width: 100}) - prints with width set to 100 pixels
  • page.pdf({width: '100px'}) - prints with width set to 100 pixels
  • page.pdf({width: '10cm'}) - prints with width set to 10 centimeters.

All possible units are:

  • px - pixel
  • in - inch
  • cm - centimeter
  • mm - millimeter

The Format options are:

  • Letter: 8.5in x 11in
  • Legal: 8.5in x 14in
  • Tabloid: 11in x 17in
  • Ledger: 17in x 11in

ReloadAsync​

Added before v1.9 page.ReloadAsync

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.

Usage

await Page.ReloadAsync(options);

Arguments

  • options PageReloadOptions? (optional)

    • Timeout [float]? (optional)#

      Maximum operation time in milliseconds, defaults to 30 seconds, pass 0 to disable timeout. The default value can be changed by using the BrowserContext.SetDefaultNavigationTimeout(), BrowserContext.SetDefaultTimeout(), Page.SetDefaultNavigationTimeout() or Page.SetDefaultTimeout() methods.

Usage

await Page.RemoveLocatorHandlerAsync(locator);

Arguments

Returns

RequestGCAsync​

Added in: v1.48 page.RequestGCAsync

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.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.
Assert.True(await Page.EvaluateAsync("!globalThis.suspectWeakRef.deref()"));

Usage

await Page.RequestGCAsync();

Returns

RouteAsync​

Added before v1.9 page.RouteAsync

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

Page.RouteAsync() will not intercept requests intercepted by Service Worker. See this issue. We recommend disabling Service Workers when using request interception by setting ServiceWorkers to 'block'.

note

Page.RouteAsync() will not intercept the first request of a popup page. Use BrowserContext.RouteAsync() instead.

Usage

An example of a naive handler that aborts all image requests:

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:

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

Page routes take precedence over browser context routes (set up with BrowserContext.RouteAsync()) when request matches both handlers.

To remove a route with its handler you can use Page.UnrouteAsync().

note

Enabling routing disables http cache.

Arguments

  • url string | Regex | Func<string, bool>#

    A glob pattern, regex pattern or predicate receiving URL to match while routing. When a BaseURL via the context options was provided and the passed URL is a path, it gets merged via the new URL() constructor.

  • handler Action<Route>#

    handler function to route the request.

  • options PageRouteOptions? (optional)

    • Times int? (optional) Added in: v1.15#

      How often a route should be used. By default it will be used every time.

Returns

RouteFromHARAsync​

Added in: v1.23 page.RouteFromHARAsync

If specified the network requests that are made in the page will be served from the HAR file. Read more about Replaying from HAR.

Playwright will not serve requests intercepted by Service Worker from the HAR file. See this issue. We recommend disabling Service Workers when using request interception by setting ServiceWorkers to 'block'.

Usage

await Page.RouteFromHARAsync(har, options);

Arguments

  • har string#

    Path to a HAR file with prerecorded network data. If path is a relative path, then it is resolved relative to the current working directory.

  • options PageRouteFromHAROptions? (optional)

    • NotFound enum HarNotFound { Abort, Fallback }? (optional)#

      • If set to 'abort' any request not found in the HAR file will be aborted.
      • If set to 'fallback' missing requests will be sent to the network.

      Defaults to abort.

    • Update bool? (optional)#

      If specified, updates the given HAR with the actual network information instead of serving from file. The file is written to disk when BrowserContext.CloseAsync() is called.

    • UpdateContent enum RouteFromHarUpdateContentPolicy { Embed, Attach }? (optional) Added in: v1.32#

      Optional setting to control resource content management. If attach is specified, resources are persisted as separate files or entries in the ZIP archive. If embed is specified, content is stored inline the HAR file.

    • UpdateMode enum HarMode { Full, Minimal }? (optional) Added in: v1.32#

      When set to minimal, only record information necessary for routing from HAR. This omits sizes, timing, page, cookies, security and other types of HAR information that are not used when replaying from HAR. Defaults to minimal.

    • Url|UrlRegex string? | Regex? (optional)#

      A glob pattern, regular expression or predicate to match the request URL. Only requests with URL matching the pattern will be served from the HAR file. If not specified, all requests are served from the HAR file.

Returns

RouteWebSocketAsync​

Added in: v1.48 page.RouteWebSocketAsync

This method allows to modify websocket connections that are made by the page.

Note that only WebSockets created after this method was called will be routed. It is recommended to call this method before navigating the page.

Usage

Below is an example of a simple mock that responds to a single message. See WebSocketRoute for more details and examples.

await page.RouteWebSocketAsync("/ws", ws => {
  ws.OnMessage(frame => {
    if (frame.Text == "request")
      ws.Send("response");
  });
});

Arguments

Returns

SetDefaultNavigationTimeout​

Added before v1.9 page.SetDefaultNavigationTimeout

This setting will change the default maximum navigation time for the following methods and related shortcuts:

Added before v1.9 page.SetViewportSizeAsync

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

Page.SetViewportSizeAsync() 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. Page.SetViewportSizeAsync() will also reset screen size, use Browser.NewContextAsync() with screen and viewport parameters if you need better control of these properties.

Usage

var page = await browser.NewPageAsync();
await page.SetViewportSizeAsync(640, 480);
await page.GotoAsync("https://www.microsoft.com");

{
  public static async Task WaitForFunction()
  {
    using var playwright = await Playwright.CreateAsync();
    await using var browser = await playwright.Webkit.LaunchAsync();
    var page = await browser.NewPageAsync();
    await page.SetViewportSizeAsync(50, 50);
    await page.MainFrame.WaitForFunctionAsync("window.innerWidth < 100");
  }
}

To pass an argument to the predicate of Page.WaitForFunctionAsync() function:

var selector = ".foo";
await page.WaitForFunctionAsync("selector => !!document.querySelector(selector)", selector);

Arguments

WaitForLoadStateAsync​

Added before v1.9 page.WaitForLoadStateAsync

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(AriaRole.Button).ClickAsync(); // Click triggers navigation.
await page.WaitForLoadStateAsync(); // The promise resolves after 'load' event.
var popup = await page.RunAndWaitForPopupAsync(async () =>
{
    await page.GetByRole(AriaRole.Button).ClickAsync(); // click triggers the popup
});
// Wait for the "DOMContentLoaded" event.
await popup.WaitForLoadStateAsync(LoadState.DOMContentLoaded);
Console.WriteLine(await popup.TitleAsync()); // popup is ready to use.

Arguments

  • state enum LoadState { Load, DOMContentLoaded, NetworkIdle }? (optional)#

    Optional load state to wait for, defaults to load. If the state has been already reached while loading current document, the method resolves immediately. Can be one of:

    • 'load' - wait for the load event to be fired.
    • 'domcontentloaded' - wait for the DOMContentLoaded event to be fired.
    • 'networkidle' - DISCOURAGED wait until there are no network connections for at least 500 ms. Don't use this method for testing, rely on web assertions to assess readiness instead.

  • options PageWaitForLoadStateOptions? (optional)

Returns

WaitForURLAsync​

Added in: v1.11 page.WaitForURLAsync

Waits for the main frame to navigate to the given URL.

Usage

await page.ClickAsync("a.delayed-navigation"); // clicking the link will indirectly cause a navigation
await page.WaitForURLAsync("**/target.html");

Arguments

  • url string | Regex | Func<string, bool>#

  • options PageWaitForURLOptions? (optional)

    • Timeout [float]? (optional)#

      Maximum operation time in milliseconds, defaults to 30 seconds, pass 0 to disable timeout. The default value can be changed by using the BrowserContext.SetDefaultNavigationTimeout(), BrowserContext.SetDefaultTimeout(), Page.SetDefaultNavigationTimeout() or Page.SetDefaultTimeout() methods.

    • WaitUntil enum WaitUntilState { Load, DOMContentLoaded, NetworkIdle, Commit }? (optional)#

      When to consider operation succeeded, defaults to load. Events can be either:

      • 'domcontentloaded' - consider operation to be finished when the DOMContentLoaded event is fired.
      • 'load' - consider operation to be finished when the load event is fired.
      • 'networkidle' - DISCOURAGED consider operation to be finished when there are no network connections for at least 500 ms. Don't use this method for testing, rely on web assertions to assess readiness instead.
      • 'commit' - consider operation to be finished when network response is received and the document started loading.

{
    foreach (var arg in msg.Args)
        Console.WriteLine(await arg.JsonValueAsync<object>());
};

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

Event data

event Crash​

Added before v1.9 page.event Crash

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

Usage

Page.Crash += async (_, page) => {};

Event data

event Dialog​

Added before v1.9 page.event Dialog

Emitted when a JavaScript dialog appears, such as alert, prompt, confirm or beforeunload. Listener must either Dialog.AcceptAsync() or Dialog.DismissAsync() the dialog - otherwise the page will freeze waiting for the dialog, and actions like click will never finish.

Usage

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

When no Page.Dialog or BrowserContext.Dialog listeners are present, all dialogs are automatically dismissed.

Event data

event DOMContentLoaded​

Added in: v1.9 page.event DOMContentLoaded

Emitted when the JavaScript DOMContentLoaded event is dispatched.

Usage

Page.DOMContentLoaded += async (_, page) => {};

Event data

event Download​

Added before v1.9 page.event Download

Usage

Page.Download += async (_, download) => {};

Event data

event FileChooser​

Added in: v1.9 page.event 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 FileChooser.SetFilesAsync() that can be uploaded after that.

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

Usage

Page.FileChooser += async (_, fileChooser) => {};

Event data

event FrameAttached​

Added in: v1.9 page.event FrameAttached

Emitted when a frame is attached.

Usage

Page.FrameAttached += async (_, frame) => {};

Event data

Emitted when a frame is navigated to a new url.

Usage

Page.FrameNavigated += async (_, frame) => {};

Event data

event Load​

Added before v1.9 page.event Load

Emitted when the JavaScript load event is dispatched.

Usage

Page.Load += async (_, page) => {};

Event data

event PageError​

Added in: v1.9 page.event PageError

Emitted when an uncaught exception happens within the page.

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

Usage

Page.PageError += async (_, value) => {};

Event data

event Popup​

Added before v1.9 page.event Popup

Emitted when the page opens a new tab or window. This event is emitted in addition to the 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 BrowserContext.RouteAsync() and BrowserContext.Request respectively instead of similar methods on the Page.

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

Use Page.WaitForLoadStateAsync() to wait until the page gets to a particular state (you should not need it in most cases).

Usage

Page.Popup += async (_, page) => {};

Event data

event Request​

Added before v1.9 page.event Request

Emitted when a page issues a request. The request object is read-only. In order to intercept and mutate requests, see Page.RouteAsync() or BrowserContext.RouteAsync().

Usage

Page.Request += async (_, request) => {};

Event data

event RequestFailed​

Added in: v1.9 page.event RequestFailed

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

note

HTTP Error responses, such as 404 or 503, are still successful responses from HTTP standpoint, so request will complete with Page.RequestFinished event and not with 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.

Usage

Page.RequestFailed += async (_, request) => {};

Event data

event RequestFinished​

Added in: v1.9 page.event RequestFinished

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

Usage

Page.RequestFinished += async (_, request) => {};

Event data

event Response​

Added before v1.9 page.event 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.

Usage

Page.Response += async (_, response) => {};

Event data

event WebSocket​

Added in: v1.9 page.event WebSocket

Emitted when WebSocket request is sent.

Usage

Page.WebSocket += async (_, webSocket) => {};

Event data

event Worker​

CheckAsync​

Added before v1.9 page.CheckAsync
Discouraged

Use locator-based Locator.CheckAsync() instead. Read more about locators.

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

  1. Find an element matching 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 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 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 Timeout, this method throws a TimeoutError. Passing zero timeout disables this.

Usage

await Page.CheckAsync(selector, options);

Arguments

  • selector string#

    A selector to search for an element. If there are multiple elements satisfying the selector, the first will be used.

  • options PageCheckOptions? (optional)

    • Force bool? (optional)#

DispatchEventAsync​

Added before v1.9 page.DispatchEventAsync
Discouraged

Use locator-based Locator.DispatchEventAsync() 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.DispatchEventAsync("button#submit", "click");

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

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

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

var dataTransfer = await page.EvaluateHandleAsync("() => new DataTransfer()");
await page.DispatchEventAsync("#source", "dragstart", new { dataTransfer });

Arguments

  • selector string#

    A selector to search for an element. If there are multiple elements satisfying the selector, the first will be used.

  • type string#

    DOM event type: "click", "dragstart", etc.

Returns

EvalOnSelectorAsync​

Added in: v1.9 page.EvalOnSelectorAsync
Discouraged

This method does not wait for the element to pass actionability checks and therefore can lead to the flaky tests. Use Locator.EvaluateAsync(), other Locator helper methods or web-first assertions instead.

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

If expression returns a Promise, then Page.EvalOnSelectorAsync() would wait for the promise to resolve and return its value.

Usage

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

Arguments

  • selector string#

    A selector to query for.

  • expression string#

    JavaScript expression to be evaluated in the browser context. If the expression evaluates to a function, the function is automatically invoked.

  • arg EvaluationArgument? (optional)#

    Optional argument to pass to expression.

  • options PageEvalOnSelectorOptions? (optional)

    • Strict bool? (optional) Added in: v1.14#

      When true, the call requires selector to resolve to a single element. If given selector resolves to more than one element, the call throws an exception.

Returns

  • [object]#

EvalOnSelectorAllAsync​

Added in: v1.9 page.EvalOnSelectorAllAsync
Discouraged

In most cases, Locator.EvaluateAllAsync(), other Locator helper methods and web-first assertions do a better job.

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

If expression returns a Promise, then Page.EvalOnSelectorAllAsync() would wait for the promise to resolve and return its value.

Usage

var divsCount = await page.EvalOnSelectorAllAsync<bool>("div", "(divs, min) => divs.length >= min", 10);

Arguments

  • selector string#

    A selector to query for.

  • expression string#

    JavaScript expression to be evaluated in the browser context. If the expression evaluates to a function, the function is automatically invoked.

  • arg EvaluationArgument? (optional)#

    Optional argument to pass to expression.

Returns

  • [object]#

FillAsync​

Added before v1.9 page.FillAsync
Discouraged

To send fine-grained keyboard events, use Locator.PressSequentiallyAsync().

Usage

await Page.FillAsync(selector, value, options);

Arguments

  • selector string#

    A selector to search for an element. If there are multiple elements satisfying the selector, the first will be used.

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

If 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.

      When true, the call requires selector to resolve to a single element. If given selector resolves to more than one element, the call throws an exception.

    • Timeout [float]? (optional)#

      Maximum time in milliseconds. Defaults to 30000 (30 seconds). Pass 0 to disable timeout. The default value can be changed by using the BrowserContext.SetDefaultTimeout() or Page.SetDefaultTimeout() methods.

Returns

QuerySelectorAsync​

Added in: v1.9 page.QuerySelectorAsync
Discouraged

Use locator-based Page.Locator() instead. Read more about locators.

The method finds an element matching the specified selector within the page. If no elements match the selector, the return value resolves to null. To wait for an element on the page, use Locator.WaitForAsync().

Usage

await Page.QuerySelectorAsync(selector, options);

Arguments

  • selector string#

    A selector to query for.

  • options PageQuerySelectorOptions? (optional)

    • Strict bool? (optional) Added in: v1.14#

      When true, the call requires selector to resolve to a single element. If given selector resolves to more than one element, the call throws an exception.

Returns

QuerySelectorAllAsync​

Added in: v1.9 page.QuerySelectorAllAsync
Discouraged

Use locator-based Page.Locator() instead. Read more about locators.

The method finds all elements matching the specified selector within the page. If no elements match the selector, the return value resolves to [].

Usage

await Page.QuerySelectorAllAsync(selector);

Arguments

  • selector string#

    A selector to query for.

Returns

RunAndWaitForNavigationAsync​

Added before v1.9 page.RunAndWaitForNavigationAsync
Deprecated

This method is inherently racy, please use Page.WaitForURLAsync() instead.

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:

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.

Arguments

  • action Func<Task> Added in: v1.12#

    Action that triggers the event.

  • options PageRunAndWaitForNavigationOptions? (optional)

    • Timeout [float]? (optional)#

      Maximum operation time in milliseconds, defaults to 30 seconds, pass 0 to disable timeout. The default value can be changed by using the BrowserContext.SetDefaultNavigationTimeout(), BrowserContext.SetDefaultTimeout(), Page.SetDefaultNavigationTimeout() or Page.SetDefaultTimeout() methods.

    • Url|UrlRegex|UrlFunc string? | Regex? | Func<string?, bool> (optional)#

      A glob pattern, regex pattern or predicate receiving URL to match while waiting for the navigation. Note that if the parameter is a string without wildcard characters, the method will wait for navigation to URL that is exactly equal to the string.

    • WaitUntil enum WaitUntilState { Load, DOMContentLoaded, NetworkIdle, Commit }? (optional)#

      When to consider operation succeeded, defaults to load. Events can be either:

      • 'domcontentloaded' - consider operation to be finished when the DOMContentLoaded event is fired.
      • 'load' - consider operation to be finished when the load event is fired.
      • 'networkidle' - DISCOURAGED consider operation to be finished when there are no network connections for at least 500 ms. Don't use this method for testing, rely on web assertions to assess readiness instead.
      • 'commit' - consider operation to be finished when network response is received and the document started loading.

Returns

Returns the array of option values that have been successfully selected.

Triggers a change and input event once all the provided options have been selected.

Usage

// Single selection matching the value or label
await page.SelectOptionAsync("select#colors", new[] { "blue" });
// single selection matching both the value and the label
await page.SelectOptionAsync("select#colors", new[] { new SelectOptionValue() { Label = "blue" } });
// multiple
await page.SelectOptionAsync("select#colors", new[] { "red", "green", "blue" });

SetCheckedAsync​

Added in: v1.15 page.SetCheckedAsync
Discouraged

Use locator-based Locator.SetCheckedAsync() instead. Read more about locators.

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

  1. Find an element matching 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 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 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 Timeout, this method throws a TimeoutError. Passing zero timeout disables this.

Usage

await Page.SetCheckedAsync(selector, checked, options);

Arguments

  • selector string#

    A selector to search for an element. If there are multiple elements satisfying the selector, the first will be used.

      When true, the call requires selector to resolve to a single element. If given selector resolves to more than one element, the call throws an exception.

    • Timeout [float]? (optional)#

      Maximum time in milliseconds. Defaults to 30000 (30 seconds). Pass 0 to disable timeout. The default value can be changed by using the BrowserContext.SetDefaultTimeout() or Page.SetDefaultTimeout() methods.

    • Trial bool? (optional)#

      When set, this method only performs the actionability checks and skips the action. Defaults to false. Useful to wait until the element is ready for the action without performing it.

Returns

SetInputFilesAsync​

Added before v1.9 page.SetInputFilesAsync
Discouraged

Use locator-based Locator.SetInputFilesAsync() instead. Read more about locators.

Sets the value of the file input to these file paths or files. If some of the filePaths are relative paths, then they are resolved relative to the current working directory. For empty array, clears the selected files. For inputs with a [webkitdirectory] attribute, only a single directory path is supported.

This method expects selector to point to an input element. However, if the element is inside the <label> element that has an associated control, targets the control instead.

Usage

await Page.SetInputFilesAsync(selector, files, options);

Returns

TapAsync​

Added before v1.9 page.TapAsync
Discouraged

Use locator-based Locator.TapAsync() instead. Read more about locators.

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

  1. Find an element matching 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 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 Page.Touchscreen to tap the center of the element, or the specified Position.

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

note

Page.TapAsync() the method will throw if HasTouch option of the browser context is false.

Usage

await Page.TapAsync(selector, options);

In most cases, you should use Locator.FillAsync() instead. You only need to press keys one by one if there is special keyboard handling on the page - in this case use Locator.PressSequentiallyAsync().

Sends a keydown, keypress/input, and keyup event for each character in the text. page.type can be used to send fine-grained keyboard events. To fill values in form fields, use Page.FillAsync().

To press a special key, like Control or ArrowDown, use Keyboard.PressAsync().

Usage

Arguments

  • selector string#

    A selector to search for an element. If there are multiple elements satisfying the selector, the first will be used.

Use locator-based Locator.UncheckAsync() instead. Read more about locators.

This method unchecks an element matching selector by performing the following steps:

  1. Find an element matching 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 unchecked, this method returns immediately.
  3. Wait for actionability checks on the matched element, unless 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.

Returns

WaitForSelectorAsync​

Added before v1.9 page.WaitForSelectorAsync
Discouraged

Use web assertions that assert visibility or a locator-based Locator.WaitForAsync() instead. Read more about locators.

Returns when element specified by selector satisfies 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 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.

Usage

This method works across navigations:

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

class FrameExamples
{
  public static async Task Images()
  {
      using var playwright = await Playwright.CreateAsync();
      await using var browser = await playwright.Chromium.LaunchAsync();
      var page = await browser.NewPageAsync();

      foreach (var currentUrl in new[] { "https://www.google.com", "https://bbc.com" })
      {
          await page.GotoAsync(currentUrl);
          var element = await page.WaitForSelectorAsync("img");
          Console.WriteLine($"Loaded image: {await element.GetAttributeAsync("src")}");
      }

      await browser.CloseAsync();
  }
}

Arguments

  • selector string#

    A selector to query for.

  • options PageWaitForSelectorOptions? (optional)

    • State enum WaitForSelectorState { Attached, Detached, Visible, Hidden }? (optional)#

      Defaults to 'visible'. Can be either:

      • 'attached' - wait for element to be present in DOM.
      • 'detached' - wait for element to not be present in DOM.
      • 'visible' - wait for element to have non-empty bounding box and no visibility:hidden. Note that element without any content or with display:none has an empty bounding box and is not considered visible.
      • 'hidden' - wait for element to be either detached from DOM, or have an empty bounding box or visibility:hidden. This is opposite to the 'visible' option.

    • Strict bool? (optional) Added in: v1.14#

      When true, the call requires selector to resolve to a single element. If given selector resolves to more than one element, the call throws an exception.

    • Timeout [float]? (optional)#

      Maximum time in milliseconds. Defaults to 30000 (30 seconds). Pass 0 to disable timeout. The default value can be changed by using the BrowserContext.SetDefaultTimeout() or Page.SetDefaultTimeout() methods.

Returns

WaitForTimeoutAsync​

Added before v1.9 page.WaitForTimeoutAsync
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 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.WaitForTimeoutAsync(1000);

Arguments

  • timeout [float]#

    A timeout to wait for

Returns
