How do I use Playwright to verify if a specific string is present in an h1 element?

Answer

Checking if an h1 Element Contains a Specific String with Playwright

First, you need to locate the h1 element. You can use Playwright's page.locator() method with a CSS selector that matches the h1 element. Let's say your h1 element has an id of "title". Here's how you can locate it:

const titleElement = await page.locator('#title');

Next, get the text content of the h1 element using locator.textContent(). This returns a Promise that resolves to a string containing all the text within the h1 element.

const titleText = await titleElement.textContent();

Finally, check if the text contains "hello, world" using JavaScript's String.prototype.includes() method. This method returns true if the specified substring is found within the string.

if (titleText.includes('hello, world')) {
  console.log('The title contains "hello, world"!');
} else {
  console.log('The title does not contain "hello, world".');
}

So, to check if an h1 element includes a string "hello, world" using Playwright, you:

  1. Locate the h1 element using page.locator()
  2. Get its text content using locator.textContent()
  3. Use String.prototype.includes() to check for the presence of the desired substring.
