"Struggling to locate elements in Playwright? How do you handle playwright locate elements effectively?"
Hey y'all!
So I’ve been banging my head against the wall trying to playwright locate elements reliably. Sometimes it’s smooth, other times… not so much.
What’s your go-to strat? I usually start with `page.getByRole()` or `page.getByText()`—pretty solid for simple stuff. But when things get messy, I fall back to `page.locator()` with CSS or XPath.
Pro tip: `await page.pause()` is a lifesaver for debugging. Just sayin’.
Also, how often do y’all use test IDs? Feels like the cleanest way, but not always an option.
Kinda curious—what’s your success rate with playwright locate elements? Mine’s like 80%… unless the DOM’s a nightmare lol.
Hit me with your tricks!
