Hey everyone, I have a problem finding an element on Wikipedia's "User Profile" page. I have to choose one of the language options of the "Language" <select> element. However, the Playwright seems to recognize this element in the DOM, but can't see it because of some "hidden" status. Am I doing something wrong? I would be grateful for any help because I have already tried everything

This thread is trying to answer question "Why can't Playwright interact with a select element on Wikipedia's 'User Profile' page, despite the element being present in the DOM?"

Did you try to record it ( select it ) with codegen and see what is using there

You mean, did i use the "Pick Locator" feature in debug mode? Yes, i tried it, but for some reason, exactly on the "User Profile" page, pick locator doesn't work (it doesn't highlight elements at all)
