Playwright v1.17.0
Frame Locators
Playwright 1.17 introduces frame locators - a locator to the iframe on the page. Frame locators capture the logic sufficient to retrieve the iframe
and then locate elements in that iframe. Frame locators are strict by default, will wait for iframe
to appear and can be used in Web-First assertions.
Frame locators can be created with either page.frame_locator(selector)
or locator.frame_locator(selector)
method.
locator = page.frame_locator("my-frame").locator("text=Submit")
locator.click()
