Puppeteer - Handling Links/Button
Puppeteer is capable of handling a link/button on a page. Before clicking an element we must be able to uniquely identify it with the help of any of the locators. In Puppeteer, we can click an element only if its dimensions are greater than zero pixel.
In the below image, we shall click on the below highlighted link - Subscribe to Premium Plan having tagname as h1 −
To begin, follow Steps 1 to 2 from the Chapter of Basic Test on Puppeteer which are as follows −
Step 1 − Create a new file within the directory where the node_modules folder is created (location where the Puppeteer and Puppeteer core have been installed).
The details on Puppeteer installation is discussed in the Chapter of Puppeteer Installation.
Right-click on the folder where the node_modules folder is created, then click on the New file button.
Step 2 − Enter a filename, say testcase1.js.
Step 3 − Add the below code within the testcase1.js file created.
//Puppeteer library const pt= require('puppeteer') async function clickElement(){ //launch browser in headless mode const browser = await pt.launch() //browser new page const page = await browser.newPage() //launch URL await page.goto('https://www.tutorialspoint.com/index.htm') //identify element then click await page.click('h1'); //get page title after click console.log(await page.title()) } clickElement()
Step 4 − Execute the code with the command given below −
node <filename>
So in our example, we shall run the following command −
node testcase1.js
After the command has been successfully executed, the title - Tutorials Point Paid Subscription Packages - Tutorialspoint obtained after clicking the link - Subscribe to Premium Plan gets printed in the console.
