This keyword clicks an element matching selector by performing the following steps:

• Find an element matches selector. If there is none, wait until a matching element is attached to the DOM.
• Wait for actionability checks on the matched element, unless force option is set. If the element is detached during the checks, the whole action is retried.
• Scroll the element into view if needed.
• Use Mouse Button to click in the center of the element, or the specified position.
• Wait for initiated navigation to either succeed or fail, unless noWaitAfter option is set.

selector Selector element to click. See the Finding elements section for details about the selectors.

button Defaults to left if invalid.

clickCount Defaults to 1.

delay Time to wait between mouse-down and mouse-up. Defaults to 0.

position_x & position_y A point to click relative to the top-left corner of element bounding-box. Only positive values within the bounding-box are allowed. If not specified, clicks to some visible point of the element.

force Set to True to skip Playwright's Actionability checks.

noWaitAfter Actions that initiate navigation, are waiting for these navigation to happen and for pages to start loading. You can opt out of waiting via setting this flag. You would only need this option in the exceptional cases such as navigating to inaccessible pages. Defaults to False.

Executes given javascript on the selected element(s) or on page.

Arguments

selector Selector to resolve and pass to the JavaScript function. This will be the first argument the function receives if not ${None}. selector is optional and can be omitted. If given a selector, a function is necessary, with an argument to capture the elementHandle. For example (element) => document.activeElement === element See the Finding elements section for details about the selectors.

*function A valid javascript function or a javascript function body. These arguments can be used to write readable multiline JavaScript.

arg an additional argument that can be handed over to the JavaScript function. This argument must be JSON serializable. ElementHandles are not supported.

all_elements defines if only the single elementHandle found by selector is handed over to the function or if set to True all found elements are handed over as array.

Example with all_elements=True:

 ${texts}=    Evaluate JavaScript    button
 ...    (elements, arg) => {
 ...        let text = []
 ...            for (e of elements) {
 ...                console.log(e.innerText)
 ...                text.push(e.innerText)
 ...            }
 ...        text.push(arg)
 ...        return text
 ...    }
 ...    all_elements=True
 ...    arg=Just another Text

Keyword uses strict mode if all_elements is False. See Finding elements for more details about strict mode.

Usage examples.

Comment >>

DEPRECATED!! Use keyword Evaluate JavaScript instead. This keyword will be removed end of 2022.

Arguments

Executes given javascript on the page.

function A valid javascript function or a javascript function body. For example () => true and true will behave similarly.

selector Selector to resolve and pass to the JavaScript function. This will be the first argument the function receives. If given a selector a function is necessary, with an argument to capture the elementhandle. For example (element) => document.activeElement === element See the Finding elements section for details about the selectors.

Same functionality can be replaced with newer Evaluate JavaScript Keyword:

-    Execute JavaScript    (elem) => elem.innerText = "abc"    h1
+    Evaluate JavaScript    h1    (elem) => elem.innerText = "abc"

Example for replacement without Selector:

-    Execute JavaScript    () => document.location.hostname
+    Evaluate JavaScript    ${None}    () => document.location.hostname

Keyword uses strict mode if selector is defined. See Finding elements for more details about strict mode.

Usage examples.

Comment >>

Fills the given secret from variable_name into the text field found by selector.

Arguments

This keyword does not log secret in Robot Framework logs, when keywords resolves the secret variable internally. When secret variable is prefixed with $, without the curly braces, library will resolve the corresponding Robot Framework variable. If secret variable is prefixed with %, library will resolve corresponding environment variable. Example $Password` will resolve to ${Password} Robot Framework variable. Also %ENV_PWD will resolve to %{ENV_PWD} environment variable. Using normal Robot Framework variables or plain text will also work, but then library can not prevent Robot Framework leaking the secrets in the output files. Also library will log a warning if library can not resolve the secret internally.

If enable_playwright_debug is enabled in the library import, secret will be always visible as plain text in the playwright debug logs, regardless of the Robot Framework log level.

selector Selector of the text field. See the Finding elements section for details about the selectors.

force Set to True to skip Playwright's Actionability checks.

Keyword uses strict mode, see Finding elements for more details about strict mode.

See Fill Text for other details.

Examples

Fill Secret    input#username_field    $username    # Keyword resolves variable value from Robot Framework variables
Fill Secret    input#username_field    %username    # Keyword resolves variable value from environment variables

Comment >>

Clears and fills the given txt into the text field found by selector.

Arguments

This method waits for an element matching the selector to appear, waits for actionability checks, focuses the element, fills it and triggers an input event after filling.

If the element matching selector is not an <input>, <textarea> or [contenteditable] element, this method throws an error. Note that you can pass an empty string as txt to clear the input field.

selector Selector of the text field. See the Finding elements section for details about the selectors.

txt Text for the text field.

force Set to True to skip Playwright's Actionability checks.

Optionally asserts that the attribute value matches the expected value. See Assertions for further details for the assertion arguments. By default assertion is not done.

When a attribute is selected that is not present and no assertion operator is set, the keyword fails. If an assertion operator is set and the attribute is not present, the returned value is None. This can be used to assert check the presents or the absents of an attribute.

Example Element:

<button class="login button active" id="enabled_button" something>Login</button>

Example Code:

Get Attribute   id=enabled_button    disabled                   # FAIL => "Attribute 'disabled' not found!"
Get Attribute   id=enabled_button    disabled     ==    ${None}     # PASS => returns: None
Get Attribute   id=enabled_button    something    evaluate    value is not None    # PASS =>  returns: True
Get Attribute   id=enabled_button    disabled     evaluate    value is None        # PASS =>  returns: True

DEPRECATED!! Use keyword Get Element States instead. This keyword will be removed end of 2022.

Arguments

Get the given state from the element found by selector.

Refactoring example assertion:

-    Get Element State    h1    readonly    ==    False
+    Get Element States    h1    not contains    readonly

Refactoring example asserting multiple states:

-    Get Element State    id=password    visible    ==    True
-    Get Element State    id=password    readonly    ==    False
-    Get Element State    id=password    disabled    ==    False
+    Get Element States    h1    contains    visible    editable    enabled

Refactoring example for getting state:

-    ${visibility}    Get Element State    h1    visible
+    ${visibility}    Get Element States    h1    then    bool(value & visible)  # Returns ${True} if element is visible.

If the selector does satisfy the expected state it will return True otherwise False.

selector Selector of the corresponding object. See the Finding elements section for details about the selectors.

state Defaults to visible. Possible states are

Note that element must be attached to DOM to be able to fetch the state of readonly , selected and checked. The other states are false if the requested element is not attached.

Note that element without any content or with display:none has an empty bounding box and is not considered visible.

assertion_operator See Assertions for further details. Defaults to None.

expected_value Expected value for the counting

message overrides the default error message for assertion.

Keyword uses strict mode, see Finding elements for more details about strict mode.

Optionally asserts that the state matches the specified assertion. See Assertions for further details for the assertion arguments. By default assertion is not done.

Examples

Get Element State    h1    readonly    ==    False

Comment >>

Get the active states from the element found by selector.

Arguments

This Keyword returns a list of states that are valid for the selected element. If Argument return_names=False is set the keyword does return an IntFlag] object instead of a list.

Optionally asserts that the state matches the specified assertion. See Assertions for further details for the assertion arguments. By default, assertion is not done.

This keyword internally works with Python IntFlag. Flags can be processed using bitwise operators like & (bitwise AND) and | (bitwise OR). When using the assertion operators then, evaluate or validate the value contain the states as ElementState.

Examples

Get Element States    h1    validate    value | visible
Get Element States    h1    then    value & (visible | hidden)  # returns either ['visible'] or ['hidden']
Get Element States    h1    then    bool(value & visible)  # Returns ${True} if element is visible

The most typical use case would be to verify if an element contains a specific state or multiple states.

Example:

Get Element States    id=checked_elem      *=    checked
Get Element States    id=checked_elem      not contains    checked
Get Element States    id=invisible_elem    contains    hidden    attached
Get Element States    id=disabled_elem     contains    visible    disabled    readonly

Elements do return the positive and negative values if applicable. As example, a checkbox does return either checked or unchecked while a text input element has none of those two states. Select elements have also either selected or unselected.

The state of animating will be set if an element is not considered stable within 300 ms.

If an element is not attached to the dom, so it can not be found within 250ms it is marked as detached as the only state.

stable state is not returned, because it would cause too high delay in that keyword.

Moves the virtual mouse and scrolls to the element found by selector.

Arguments

This method hovers over an element matching selector by performing the following steps:

• Find an element match matching selector. If there is none, wait until a matching element is attached to the DOM.
• Wait for actionability checks on the matched element, unless force option is set. If the element is detached during the checks, the whole action is retried.
• Scroll the element into view if needed.
• Use Mouse Move to hover over the center of the element, or the specified position.

selector Selector element to hover. See the Finding elements section for details about the selectors.

position_x & position_y A point to hover relative to the top-left corner of element bounding box. If not specified, hovers over some visible point of the element. Only positive values within the bounding-box are allowed.

force Set to True to skip Playwright's Actionability checks.

• headers A dictionary of additional request headers. Defaults to None.

The response is a Python dictionary with following attributes:

• status <int> The status code of the response.
• statusText <str> Status text corresponding to status, e.g OK or INTERNAL SERVER ERROR.
• body <dict> | <str> The response body. If the body can be parsed as a JSON obejct, it will be returned as Python dictionary, otherwise it is returned as a string.
• headers <dict> A dictionary containing all response headers.
• ok <bool> Whether the request was successfull, i.e. the status is range 200-299.

Create a new BrowserContext with specified options.

Arguments

See Browser, Context and Page for more information about BrowserContext.

Returns a stable identifier for the created context that can be used in Switch Context.

acceptDownloads Whether to automatically downloads all the attachments. Defaults to True where all the downloads are accepted.

ignoreHTTPSErrors Whether to ignore HTTPS errors during navigation. Defaults to False.

bypassCSP Toggles bypassing page's Content-Security-Policy. Defaults to False.

viewport Sets a consistent viewport for each page. Defaults to an {'width': 1280, 'height': 720} viewport. Value of viewport can be a dict or a string representation of a dictionary.

userAgent Specific user agent to use in this context.

deviceScaleFactor Specify device scale factor (can be thought of as dpr). Defaults to 1.

isMobile Whether the meta viewport tag is taken into account and touch events are enabled. Defaults to False. Not supported in Firefox.

hasTouch Specifies if viewport supports touch events. Defaults to False.

javaScriptEnabled Whether or not to enable JavaScript in the context. Defaults to True.

timezoneId Changes the timezone of the context. See ICU’s metaZones.txt for a list of supported timezone IDs.

geolocation Sets the geolocation. No location is set by default.

• latitude <number> Latitude between -90 and 90.
• longitude <number> Longitude between -180 and 180.
• accuracy Optional <number> Non-negative accuracy value. Defaults to 0.

Example usage: {'latitude': 59.95, 'longitude': 30.31667}

locale Specify user locale, for example en-GB, de-DE, etc. Locale will affect navigator.language value, Accept-Language request header value as well as number and date formatting rules.

offline Whether to emulate network being offline. Defaults to False.

httpCredentials Credentials for HTTP authentication.

• example: {'username': '$username', 'password': '$pwd'}
• username
• password

Direct usage of username and password is not recommended, but is possible. If username and password is directly used, it can leak secret information to Robot Framework output files. Instead the username and password values can be prefixed with $ or %. Then keyword will internally resolve the values and secrets are not leaked to Robot Framework output files. The $ prefix will resolve Robot Framework variable and % will resolve environment variable. If enable_playwright_debug is enabled, all secrets are written as plain text in Playwright debugs logs.

colorScheme Emulates 'prefers-colors-scheme' media feature, supported values are 'light', 'dark', 'no-preference'. See emulateMedia(options) for more details. Defaults to light.

proxy Network proxy settings to use with this context. Note that browser needs to be launched with the global proxy for this option to work. If all contexts override the proxy, global proxy will be never used and can be any string

videosPath is deprecated by playwright, use recordVideo instead. Enables video recording for all pages to videosPath folder. If videosPath is not existing folder, videosPath folder is created under ${OUTPUT_DIR}/browser/video/ folder. If videosPath is not specified, videos are not recorded.

videoSize is deprecated by playwright, use recordVideo instead. Specifies dimensions of the automatically recorded video. Can only be used if videosPath is set. If not specified the size will be equal to viewport. If viewport is not configured explicitly the video size defaults to 1280x720. Actual picture of the page will be scaled down if necessary to fit specified size.

• Example {"width": 1280, "height": 720}

defaultBrowserType If no browser is open and New Context opens a new browser with defaults, it now uses this setting. Very useful together with Get Device keyword:

recordVideo enables video recording for all pages into a folder. If not specified videos are not recorded. Make sure to close context for videos to be saved. recordVideo is dictionary containing dir and size keys. If dir is not existing folder, videosPath folder is created under ${OUTPUT_DIR}/browser/video/ folder. size Optional dimensions of the recorded videos. If not specified the size will be equal to viewport. If viewport is not configured explicitly the video size defaults to 1280x720. Actual picture of each page will be scaled down if necessary to fit the specified size. size is dictionary containing width (Video frame width) and height (Video frame height) keys.

recordHar Enables HAR recording for all pages into to a file. Must be path to file, example ${OUTPUT_DIR}/har.file. If not specified, the HAR is not recorded. Make sure to await context to close for the to be saved.

omitContent: Optional setting to control whether to omit request content from the HAR. Default is False path: Path on the filesystem to write the HAR file to.

The ${OUTPUTDIR}/browser/ is removed at the first suite startup.

tracing is file name where the tracing file is saved. Example trace.zip will be saved to ${OUTPUT_DIR}/traces.zip. Temporary trace files will be saved to ${OUTPUT_DIR}/Browser/traces. If file name is defined, tracing will be enabled for all pages in the context. Tracing is automatically closed when context is closed. Temporary trace files will be automatically deleted at start of each test execution. Trace file can be opened after the test execution by running command from shell: rfbrowser show-trace -F /path/to/trace.zip.

screen Emulates consistent window screen size available inside web page via window.screen. Is only used when the viewport is set.

• Example {'width': 414, 'height': 896}

storageState restores the storage stated created by the Save Storage State keyword. Must mbe full path to the file.

reduceMotion emulates prefers-reduced-motion media feature, supported values are reduce, no-preference.

forcedColors emulates forced-colors media feature, supported values are active and none.

Examples

A BrowserContext is the Playwright object that controls a single browser profile. Within a context caches and cookies are shared. See Playwright browser.newContext for a list of supported options.

If there's no open Browser this keyword will open one. Does not create pages.

Comment >>

Open a new Page.

Arguments

A Page is the Playwright equivalent to a tab. See Browser, Context and Page for more information about Page concept.

Returns NewPageDetails as dictionary for created page. NewPageDetails (dict) contains the keys page_id and video_path. page_id is a stable identifier for the created page. video_path is path to the created video or empty if video is not created.

When a New Page is called without an open browser, New Browser and New Context are executed with default values first.

url If specified it will open the new page to the specified URL.

Comment >>

Open a new persistent context.

Arguments

userDataDir Path to a User Data Directory, which stores browser session data like cookies and local storage. More details for Chromium and Firefox. Note that Chromium's user data directory is the parent directory of the "Profile Path" seen at chrome://version. Pass an empty string to use a temporary directory instead

If you want to use extensions you need to download the extension as a .zip, enable loading the extension, and load the extensions using chromium arguments like below. Extensions only work with chromium and with a headful browser.

${launch_args}=  Set Variable  ["--disable-extensions-except=./ublock/uBlock0.chromium", "--load-extension=./ublock/uBlock0.chromium"]
`New Persistent Context  browser=chromium  headless=False  args=${launch_args}

Check New Browser or New context for the specific argument docs.

Comment >>

Opens a new browser instance. Use this keyword for quick experiments or debugging sessions. Use New Page directly instead of Open Browser for production and automated execution. See Browser, Context and Page for more information about Browser and related concepts.

Arguments

Creates a new browser, context and page with specified settings. Only supports some of the settings Create _ Keywords do

url Navigates to URL if provided. Defaults to None.

browser Specifies which browser to use. The supported browsers are listed in the table below. The browser names are case-sensitive.

Comment >>

Types the given key combination into element found by selector.

Arguments

selector Selector of the text field. See the Finding elements section for details about the selectors.

Keyword uses strict mode, see Finding elements for more details about strict mode.

Supports values like "a, b" which will be automatically typed. . Also supports identifiers for keys like ArrowLeft or Backspace. Using + to chain combine modifiers with a single keypress Control+Shift+T is supported.

See playwright's documentation for a more comprehensive list of supported input keys. Playwright docs for press.

Examples

# Keyword         Selector                    *Keys
Press Keys      //*[@id="username_field"]    h    e   l   o   ArrowLeft   l

Wrap a Browser library keyword and make it a promise.

Arguments

Promised keyword is executed and started on background. Test execution continues without waiting for kw to finish.

Returns reference to the promised keyword.

kw Keyword that will work async on background.

Examples

${promise}=     Promise To            Wait For Response     matcher=     timeout=3
Click           \#delayed_request
${body}=        Wait For              ${promise}

Comment >>

Returns a promise that resolves when file from path has been uploaded.

Arguments

Fails if the upload has not happened during timeout.

Upload file from path into next file chooser dialog on page.

path Path to file to be uploaded.

Example use:

${promise}=    Promise To Upload File    ${CURDIR}/test_upload_file.txt
Click          id=open_file_chooser_button
${upload_result}=    Wait For    ${promise}

Alternatively, you can use Upload File By Selector keyword.

Comment >>

Returns a promise that waits for next download event on page.

Arguments

If you can get the URL for the file to download, Download keyword should be a consistent way to download the file.

To enable downloads context's acceptDownloads needs to be true.

To configure download directory use New Browser's downloadsPath settings

With default filepath downloaded files are deleted when Context the download happened in is closed.

saveAs defines path where the file is saved. File will also temporarily be saved in playwright context's default download location.

Waited promise returns a dictionary which contains saveAs and suggestedFilename as keys. The saveAs contains where the file is downloaded and suggestedFilename contains the name suggested name for the download. The suggestedFilename is typically computed by the browser from the Content-Disposition response header or the download attribute. See the spec on whatwg. Different browsers can use different logic for computing it.

Example usage:

New Context          acceptDownloads=True
New Page             ${LOGIN_URL}
${dl_promise}          Promise To Wait For Download    /path/to/download/file.name
Click                \#file_download
${file_obj}=           Wait For  ${dl_promise}
File Should Exist    ${file_obj}[saveAs]
Should Be True       ${file_obj.suggestedFilename}

${selector2} =    Record Selector  Page header
Get Text  ${selector2}  ==  Expected text

Comment >>

Sets the keyword to execute, when a Browser keyword fails.

Arguments

keyword is the name of a keyword that will be executed if a Browser keyword fails. It is possible to use any available keyword, including user keywords or keywords from other libraries. args are the arguments to the keyword if any.

The initial keyword to use is set when importing the library, and the keyword that is used by default is Take Screenshot. Taking a screenshot when something failed is a very useful feature, but notice that it can slow down the execution.

It is possible to use string NONE or any other robot falsy name, case-insensitively, as well as Python None to disable this feature altogether.

This keyword returns an object which contains the the previously registered failure keyword. The return value can be always used to restore the original value later. The returned object contains keyword name and the possible arguments used to for the keyword.

Examples

Register Keyword To Run On Failure    Take Screenshot
${previous kw}=    Register Keyword To Run On Failure    NONE
Register Keyword To Run On Failure    ${previous kw}
Register Keyword To Run On Failure    Take Screenshot    fullPage=True
Register Keyword To Run On Failure    Take Screenshot    failure-{index}    fullPage=True

Comment >>

Reloads current active page.

Comment >>

Saves the current active context storage state to a file.

Web apps use cookie-based or token-based authentication, where authenticated state is stored as cookies or in local storage. Keyword retrieves the storage state from authenticated contexts and save it to disk. Then New Context can be created with prepopulated state.

Please note state file may contains secrets and should not be shared with people outside of your organisation.

The file is created in ${OUTPUTDIR}/browser/state folder and file(s) are automatically deleted when new test execution starts. File path is returned by the keyword.

Examples

Test Case
    New context
    New Page    https://login.page.html
    #  Perform login
    Fill Secret    id=username    $username
    Fill Secret    id=password    $password
    Click    id=button
    Get Text    id=header    ==    Something
    #  Save storage to disk
    ${state_file} =    Save Storage State
    #  Create new context with saved state
    New context    storageState=${state_file}
    New Page    https://login.page.html
    #  Login is not needed because authentication is read from state file
    Get Text    id=header    ==    Something

Sets current Pages viewport size to specified dimensions.

Arguments

In the case of multiple pages in a single browser, each page can have its own viewport size. However, New Context allows to set viewport size (and more) for all later opened pages in the context at once.

Set Viewport Size will resize the page. A lot of websites don't expect phones to change size, so you should set the viewport size before navigating to the page with New Context before opening the page itself.

width Sets the width size.

height Sets the height size.

Takes a screenshot of the current window or element and saves it to disk.

Arguments

filename Filename into which to save. The file will be saved into the robot framework ${OUTPUTDIR}/browser/screenshot directory by default, but it can overwritten by providing custom path or filename. String {index} in filename will be replaced with a rolling number. Use this to not override filenames. If filename equals to EMBED (case insensitive), then screenshot is embedded as Base64 image to the log.html. The image is saved temporally to the disk and warning is displayed if removing the temporary file fails.

The ${OUTPUTDIR}/browser/ is removed at the first suite startup.

selector Take a screenshot of the element matched by selector. See the Finding elements section for details about the selectors. If not provided take a screenshot of current viewport.

fullPage When True, takes a screenshot of the full scrollable page, instead of the currently visible viewport. Defaults to False.

fileType <"png"|"jpeg"> Specify screenshot type, defaults to png.

quality The quality of the image, between 0-100. Not applicable to png images.

timeout Maximum time how long taking screenshot can last, defaults to library timeout. Supports Robot Framework time format, like 10s or 1 min, pass 0 to disable timeout. The default value can be changed by using the Set Browser Timeout keyword.

crop Crops the taken screenshot to the given box. It takes same dictionary as returned from Get BoundingBox. Cropping only works on page screenshot, so if no selector is given.

disableAnimations When set to True, stops CSS animations, CSS transitions and Web Animations. Animations get different treatment depending on their duration:

• finite animations are fast-forwarded to completion, so they'll fire transitionend event.
• infinite animations are canceled to initial state, and then played over after the screenshot.

mask Specify selectors that should be masked when the screenshot is taken. Masked elements will be overlayed with a pink box #FF00FF that completely covers its bounding box. Arguemnt can take a single selector string or a list of selector strings if multiple different elements should be masked.

omitBackground Hides default white background and allows capturing screenshots with transparency. Not applicable to jpeg images.

Keyword uses strict mode if selector is defined. See Finding elements for more details about strict mode.

Example

Take Screenshot                                 # Takes screenshot from page with default filename
Take Screenshot   selector=id=username_field    # Captures element in image
# Takes screenshot with jpeg extension, defines image quality and timeout how long taking screenhost should last
Take Screenshot   fullPage=True    fileType=jpeg    quality=50    timeout=10s

Types the given secret from variable_name into the text field found by selector.

Arguments

This keyword does not log secret in Robot Framework logs, if keyword resolves the variable value internally. If enable_playwright_debug is enabled in the library import, secret will be always visible as plain text in the playwright debug logs, regardless of the Robot Framework log level.

selector Selector of the text field. See the Finding elements section for details about the selectors.

secret Environment variable name with % prefix or a local variable with $ prefix that has the secret text value. Variable names can be used with and without curly braces.

delay Delay between the single key strokes. It may be either a number or a Robot Framework time string. Time strings are fully explained in an appendix of Robot Framework User Guide. Defaults to 0 ms. Example: 50 ms

clear Set to false, if the field shall not be cleared before typing. Defaults to true.

Keyword uses strict mode, see Finding elements for more details about strict mode.

See Type Text for details.

Example

Type Secret    input#username_field    $username      # Keyword resolves ${username} variable value from Robot Framework variables
Type Secret    input#username_field    %username      # Keyword resolves $USERNAME/%USERNAME% variable value from environment variables
Type Secret    input#username_field    ${username}    # Robot Framework resolves the variable value, but secrect can leak to Robot framework output files.

Arguments

See Handle Future Dialogs for more details about action and what types of dialogues are supported.

The main difference between this keyword and Handle Future Dialogs is that Handle Future Dialogs keyword is automatically set as promise. But this keyword must be called as argument to Promise To keyword. Also this keyword can optionally verify the dialogue text and return it. If text is argument None or is not set, dialogue text is not verified.

Example with returning text:

${promise} =         Promise To    Wait For Alert    action=accept
Click              id=alerts
${text} =            Wait For      ${promise}
Should Be Equal      ${text}         Am an alert

Example with text verify:

${promise} =       Promise To    Wait For Alert    action=accept    text=Am an alert
Click              id=alerts
${text} =          Wait For      ${promise}

Waits for all promises to finish.

If one promises fails, then this keyword will fail.

Examples

Promise To               Wait For Response     matcher=     timeout=3
Click                    \#delayed_request
Wait For All Promises

Waits for the element found by selector to satisfy state option.

Arguments

Note that Browser library has Implicit waiting mechanisms. Depending on the situation you might not need to use Wait for Elements State.

State options could be either appear/disappear from dom, or become visible/hidden. If at the moment of calling the keyword, the selector already satisfies the condition, the keyword will return immediately.

If the selector doesn't satisfy the condition within the timeout the keyword will FAIL.

selector Selector of the corresponding object. See the Finding elements section for details about the selectors.

state See ElementState for explanation.

Note that element without any content or with display:none has an empty bounding box and is not considered visible.

timeout uses default timeout from library if not set.

message overrides the default error message. The message argument accepts {selector}, {function}, and {timeout} format options. The {function} formatter is same state argument value.

Keyword uses strict mode, see Finding elements for more details about strict mode.

Examples

Wait For Elements State    //h1    visible    timeout=2 s
Wait For Elements State    //hi    focused    1s

Polls JavaScript expression or function in browser until it returns a (JavaScript) truthy value.

Arguments

function A valid javascript function or a javascript function body. For example () => true and true will behave similarly.

selector Selector to resolve and pass to the JavaScript function. This will be the first argument the function receives. If given a selector a function is necessary, with an argument to capture the elementhandle. For example (element) => document.activeElement === element See the Finding elements section for details about the selectors.

polling Default polling value of "raf" polls in a callback for requestAnimationFrame. Any other value for polling will be parsed as a robot framework time for interval between polls.

timeout Uses default timeout of 10 seconds if not set.

message overrides the default error message. The message argument accepts {selector}, {function}, and {timeout} format options.

Keyword uses strict mode, see Finding elements for more details about strict mode.

Example usage:

${promise}      Promise To      Wait For Function    element => element.style.width=="100%"    selector=\#progress_bar    timeout=4s
Click         \#progress_bar
Wait For      ${promise}

Waits until page has navigated to given url.

Arguments

url expected navigation target address either the exact match or a JavaScript-like regex wrapped in / symbols.

timeout Timeout in milliseconds. Uses default timeout of 10 seconds if not set.

wait_until <"load"|"domcontentloaded"|"networkidle|"commit""> When to consider operation succeeded, defaults to load. Events can be either: 'domcontentloaded' - consider operation to be finished when the DOMContentLoaded event is fired. 'load' - consider operation to be finished when the load event is fired. 'networkidle' - consider operation to be finished when there are no network connections for at least 500 ms. commit - consider operation to be finished when network response is received and the document started loading.

Keyword works only when page is loaded and does not work if URL fragment changes. Example if https://marketsquare.github.io/robotframework-browser/Browser.html changes to https://marketsquare.github.io/robotframework-browser/Browser.html#Wait%20For%20Navigation keyword will fail.

Examples

Go To                  ${ROOT_URL}/redirector.html
Wait for navigation    ${ROOT_URL}/posted.html    wait_until=${wait_until}

Waits for request matching matcher to be made.

Arguments

matcher Request URL string, JavaScript regex or JavaScript function to match request by. By default (with empty string) matches first available request. For additional information, see the Playwright waitForRequest documentation.

timeout Timeout supports Robot Framework time format. Uses default timeout if not set.

Examples

Click               \#delayed_request
Wait For Request    timeout=1s

Async Example:

${promise} =    Promise To         Wait For Request    matcher=\\/\\/local\\w+\\:\\d+\\/api    timeout=3s
Click         \#delayed_request
Wait For      ${promise}

JavaScript Function Example:

Click               \#delayed_request    # Creates response which should be waited before pressing save.
Wait For Request    request => request.url().endsWith('api/get/json') && request.method() === 'GET'

Waits for response matching matcher and returns python dict with contents.

Arguments

matcher Request URL string, JavaScript regex or JavaScript function to match request by. By default (with empty string) matches first available request. For additional information, see the Playwright waitForResponse documentation.

timeout Timeout in seconds. Uses default timeout if not set.

The response is a Python dictionary with following attributes:

• status <int> The status code of the response.
• statusText <str> Status text corresponding to status, e.g OK or INTERNAL SERVER ERROR.
• body <dict | str> The response body. If the body can be parsed as a JSON obejct, it will be returned as Python dictionary, otherwise it is returned as a string.
• headers <dict> A dictionary containing all response headers.
• ok <bool> Whether the request was successfull, i.e. the status is range 200-299.
• request <dict> containing method <str>, headers <dict> and postData <dict> | <str>
• url <str> url of the request.

Synchronous Example:

Click                \#delayed_request    # Creates response which should be waited before next actions
Wait For Response    matcher=\\/\\/local\\w+\\:\\d+\\/api
Click                \#save

Asynchronous Example:

${promise} =    Promise To    Wait For Response    timeout=60s
Click           \#delayed_request    # Creates response which should be waited before pressing save.
Click           \#next
Wait For        ${promise}            # Waits for the response
Click           \#save

JavaScript Function Example:

Click               \#delayed_request    # Creates response which should be waited before pressing save.
Wait For Response   response => response.url().endsWith('json') && response.request().method() === 'GET'
