How do I use regular expressions in Playwright to find all list items that begin with a specific text?

Answer

Sure, you can use regex in @playwright/test to find all list items that start with 'You have not viewed this project...'. Here's how you can do it:

First, use the getByRole method to select all list items (<li>) on the page.

await page.getByRole('listitem')

Next, apply a filter using the hasText option and provide a regex pattern.

.filter({ hasText: /^you have not viewed this project/i })

This regex pattern /^you have not viewed this project/i is case-insensitive and matches any text starting with 'you have not viewed this project'.

By using this approach, you'll find all list items that start with 'You have not viewed this project...'.

Remember, @playwright/test is a powerful tool for web testing. You can learn more about it in this comprehensive guide.
