Playwright Framework #3 | Multiple ENV with different locators | Playwright Tutorial - Part 82

In this video, we'll learn how to handle multiple env that have different selectors for the same element.

The video is a tutorial on how to handle multiple environments with multiple selectors in Playwright, a JavaScript library for automating web browsers. The presenter explains that the video focuses on a real-world scenario where the selectors may change in different environments. He demonstrates three methods for handling this: using unique XPaths, using multiple selectors separated by commas, and using OR-based text paths. He also briefly mentions using a JSON file to store selectors, but concludes that it may be more complex to maintain. The presenter provides code examples and demonstrates running tests in both staging and development environments. He also mentions using a TypeScript configuration file to handle compile-time errors caused by undefined variables. The video concludes by showcasing an alternative approach using the Page Object Model design pattern to store selectors within page objects.
