chaining the locators

Web Development Beginner Locators Playwright

Hi, I have a scenario where there are a list of users who are active and inactive. There is a tag which let people know who are active and who are not. If I want to go the detail of the user, there is a icon which can take me there. Based on these scenarios, I have to select a active user and open it's details page.

I was wondering if there is something like, Page.locator(activeTagVariable).first().locator(detailIconLocatorVariable).click().

This is something I want to achieve, but I am failing. Is there any way to do so?

This thread is trying to answer question "Is there a way to chain locators in Playwright to select an active user and open its details page?"

you can do locator(string|Locator) only with FrameLocator otherwise you will need the detailIconLocatorVariable in string type

https://playwright.dev/docs/locators look for chaining locators on this page 🙂

Hi everyone, Can anyone tell, is playwright supports chaining in action methods, like await page.locator.click().clear().type()
