With Playwright, checking a page title is a breeze. You'll use the expect
function and the toHaveTitle
method.
First, navigate to the page:
await page.goto('https://ray.run');
Then, assert the title:
await expect(page).toHaveTitle('foo');
This will wait until the title matches 'foo' before proceeding.
Playwright's design eliminates the need for flaky timeouts and racy checks. It automatically waits for a range of actionability checks to pass before performing each action.
Here's a full test example:
import { test, expect } from '@playwright/test';
test('has title', async ({ page }) => {
await page.goto('https://ray.run');
await expect(page).toHaveTitle(/Ray Run/);
});
In this test, we're checking if the title of https://ray.run contains "Ray Run". The toHaveTitle()
method accepts a string or regular expression.
So, to check a page title with Playwright, just navigate to the URL and use expect(page).toHaveTitle()
with your desired string or regex. It's that simple!
