How to use test_goto_should_send_referer method in Playwright Python

You need to install browsers by doing playwright install or python -m playwright install see here: https://playwright.dev/python/docs/intro#installation

If you separate the selectors with a , that's an or. You can chain selectors using >>.

myElement = self.page.locator('text="Hello" >> [class="DClass"]')

Yes, this is possible! Just create or add to your pytest.ini file which should go in the root of the working directory.

Here is what the pytest.ini file could look like:

# content of pytest.ini
[pytest]
addopts = -v --browser chromium --headed --slowmo 2000

Having --headed in there is what gives you what you want.

If you want a Playwright image with Python instead of the Playwright image with Node you have currently set,

do

FROM mcr.microsoft.com/playwright/python:v1.23.0-focal

instead. You won't then need to install python3-pip (or playwright!) at all.

Additionally, you'll probably want to explicitly spell out python3 instead of python:

FROM mcr.microsoft.com/playwright/python:v1.23.0-focal
RUN pip3 install TikTokApi
RUN playwright install
COPY . .

Problem is, that these are not text or input elements, but divs, which inner HTML is being changed when typing. You can check that, by opening WhatsApp in the browser, opening the dev tools, and typing something into the field.

You can identify those divs via the title attribute, as those seem to be unique: //div[@title="Search text box"]

Playwright cannot change the inner HTML of a div, but you could do via Javascript, which you let evaluate by Playwright.

The Javascript would be (you can evaluate that in the dev tools' console):

document.querySelector('div[title^=\'Search text box\']').innerHTML = 'contact name';

To evaluate this from your python code:

page.evaluate('() => document.querySelector('div[title^=\'Search text box\']').innerHTML = 'contact name'')

See documentation for more details: https://playwright.dev/python/docs/evaluating

as the graph is being injected dynamically into the website via JavaScript, you have two ways of going about this task:

1. Emulate the script (unnecessary hard but fast)

2. WebScrape using a browser client (slower, but much easier) You can use Python libraries such as Selenium or Playwright (the second option being more modern) to handle this task. The documentation for playwright is pretty intuitive, and you can use css selectors in order to traverse the dom, which, I suppose, you already have knowledge of.

Let me know if that helps!

Just in case you had the same query or were struggling with dynamic web scraping. You have to use CPython and install a webscraper such as Playwright or BS + Selenium

I used playwright which is far more straightforward and has a very much appreciated inner_html() function which reads straight into the dynamic flex HTML code. Here is the code for reference.

#part of the help to write the script I got from https://stackoverflow.com/questions/64303326/using-playwright-for-python-how-do-i-select-or-find-an-element

from playwright.sync_api import sync_playwright

with sync_playwright() as p:
    browser = p.chromium.launch(slow_mo=1000)

    page = browser.new_page()
    page.goto('https://vemcount.app/embed/widget/uOCRuLPangWo5fT')
    central = page.query_selector("p.w-full span");
    print({'central': central.inner_html()})
        
    browser.close()
 

Afterwards I am trying to run the .py script remotely from Grasshopper through a batch file and read the output through a txt or CSV file from within Grasshopper.

If there is a better way I am more than happy to hear your suggestions.

Sounds like we need to upgrade to Greenlet v2 for that.

You could use a regular expression for your locator:

page.locator(text=/\d{1,2}\sseconds?\slater/i)
