## locator-option-has-text
- `hasText` <[string]|[RegExp]>

Matches elements containing specified text somewhere inside, possibly in a child or a descendant element. When passed a [string], matching is case-insensitive and searches for a substring.
For example, `"Playwright"` matches `<article><div>Playwright</div></article>`.

## locator-option-has
- `has` <[Locator]>

Narrows down the results of the method to those which contain elements matching this relative locator.
For example, `article` that has `text=Playwright` matches `<article><div>Playwright</div></article>`.

Inner locator **must be relative** to the outer locator and is queried starting with the outer locator match, not the document root. For example, you can find `content` that has `div` in `<article><content><div>Playwright</div></content></article>`. However, looking for `content` that has `article div` will fail, because the inner locator must be relative and should not use any elements outside the `content`.

Note that outer and inner locators must belong to the same frame. Inner locator must not contain [FrameLocator]s.

## locator-option-has-not

Matches elements that do not contain an element that matches an inner locator. Inner locator is queried against the outer one.
For example, `article` that does not have `div` matches `<article><span>Playwright</span></article>`.

Note that outer and inner locators must belong to the same frame. Inner locator must not contain [FrameLocator]s.

## locator-option-has-not-text

Defaults to `"allow"` that leaves animations untouched.

## screenshot-option-animations-default-disabled
- `animations` <[ScreenshotAnimations]<"disabled"|"allow">>

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

The mask is also applied to invisible elements, see [Matching only visible elements](../locators.md#matching-only-visible-elements) to disable that.

## screenshot-option-mask-color
* since: v1.35
- `maskColor` <[string]>

Specify the color of the overlay box for masked elements, in [CSS color format](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/color_value). Default color is pink `#FF00FF`.

## template-locator-locator

The method finds an element matching the specified selector in the locator's subtree. It also accepts filter options, similar to [`method: Locator.filter`] method.

[Learn more about locators](../locators.md).

## template-locator-root-locator

The method returns an element locator that can be used to perform actions on this page / frame.
Locator is resolved to the element immediately before performing an action, so a series of actions on the same locator can in fact be performed on different DOM elements. That would happen if the DOM structure between those actions has changed.

[Learn more about locators](../locators.md).

## template-locator-get-by-test-id

Locate element by the test id.

**Usage**

Consider the following DOM structure.

```html
<button data-testid="directions">Itinéraire</button>
```

You can locate the element by it's test id:

```js
await page.getByTestId('directions').click();
```

```java
page.getByTestId("directions").click();
```

```python async
await page.get_by_test_id("directions").click()
```

```python sync
page.get_by_test_id("directions").click()
```

```csharp
await page.GetByTestId("directions").ClickAsync();
```

**Details**

By default, the `data-testid` attribute is used as a test id. Use [`method: Selectors.setTestIdAttribute`] to configure a different test id attribute if necessary.

```js
// Set custom test id attribute from @playwright/test config:
import { defineConfig } from '@playwright/test';

export default defineConfig({
  use: {
    testIdAttribute: 'data-pw'
  },
});
```

## template-locator-get-by-text

Allows locating elements that contain given text.

See also [`method: Locator.filter`] that allows to match by another criteria, like an accessible role, and then filter by the text content.


**Usage**

Consider the following DOM structure:

```html
<div>Hello <span>world</span></div>
<div>Hello</div>
```

You can locate by text substring, exact string, or a regular expression:

```js
// Matches <span>
page.getByText('world');

// Matches first <div>
page.getByText('Hello world');

// Matches second <div>
page.getByText('Hello', { exact: true });

// Matches both <div>s
page.getByText(/Hello/);

// Matches second <div>
page.getByText(/^hello$/i);
```

```python async
# Matches <span>
page.get_by_text("world")

# Matches first <div>
page.get_by_text("Hello world")

# Matches second <div>
page.get_by_text("Hello", exact=True)

# Matches both <div>s
page.get_by_text(re.compile("Hello"))

# Matches second <div>
page.get_by_text(re.compile("^hello$", re.IGNORECASE))
```

```python sync
# Matches <span>
page.get_by_text("world")

# Matches first <div>
page.get_by_text("Hello world")

# Matches second <div>
page.get_by_text("Hello", exact=True)

# Matches both <div>s
page.get_by_text(re.compile("Hello"))

# Matches second <div>
page.get_by_text(re.compile("^hello$", re.IGNORECASE))
```

```java
// Matches <span>
page.getByText("world");

// Matches first <div>
page.getByText("Hello world");

// Matches second <div>
page.getByText("Hello", new Page.GetByTextOptions().setExact(true));

// Matches both <div>s
page.getByText(Pattern.compile("Hello"));

// Matches second <div>
page.getByText(Pattern.compile("^hello$", Pattern.CASE_INSENSITIVE));
```

```csharp
// Matches <span>
page.GetByText("world");

// Matches first <div>
page.GetByText("Hello world");

// Matches second <div>
page.GetByText("Hello", new() { Exact = true });

// Matches both <div>s
page.GetByText(new Regex("Hello"));

// Matches second <div>
page.GetByText(new Regex("^hello$", RegexOptions.IgnoreCase));
```

**Details**

Matching by text always normalizes whitespace, even with exact match. For example, it turns multiple spaces into one, turns line breaks into spaces and ignores leading and trailing whitespace.

Input elements of the type `button` and `submit` are matched by their `value` instead of the text content. For example, locating by text `"Log in"` matches `<input type=button value="Log in">`.

## template-locator-get-by-alt-text

Allows locating elements by their alt text.

**Usage**

For example, this method will find the image by alt text "Playwright logo":

```html
<img alt='Playwright logo'>
```

```js
await page.getByAltText('Playwright logo').click();
```

```java
page.getByAltText("Playwright logo").click();
```

```python async
await page.get_by_alt_text("Playwright logo").click()
```

```python sync
page.get_by_alt_text("Playwright logo").click()
```

```csharp
await page.GetByAltText("Playwright logo").ClickAsync();
```

## template-locator-get-by-label-text

Allows locating input elements by the text of the associated `<label>` or `aria-labelledby` element, or by the `aria-label` attribute.

**Usage**

For example, this method will find inputs by label "Username" and "Password" in the following DOM:

```html
<input aria-label="Username">
<label for="password-input">Password:</label>
<input id="password-input">
```

```js
await page.getByLabel('Username').fill('john');
await page.getByLabel('Password').fill('secret');
```

```java
page.getByLabel("Username").fill("john");
page.getByLabel("Password").fill("secret");
```

```python async
await page.get_by_label("Username").fill("john")
await page.get_by_label("Password").fill("secret")
```

```python sync
page.get_by_label("Username").fill("john")
page.get_by_label("Password").fill("secret")
```

```csharp
await page.GetByLabel("Username").FillAsync("john");
await page.GetByLabel("Password").FillAsync("secret");
```

## template-locator-get-by-placeholder-text

Allows locating input elements by the placeholder text.

**Usage**

For example, consider the following DOM structure.

```html
<input type="email" placeholder="name@example.com" />
```

You can fill the input after locating it by the placeholder text:

```js
await page
    .getByPlaceholder('name@example.com')
    .fill('playwright@microsoft.com');
```

```java
page.getByPlaceholder("name@example.com").fill("playwright@microsoft.com");
```

```python async
await page.get_by_placeholder("name@example.com").fill("playwright@microsoft.com")
```

```python sync
page.get_by_placeholder("name@example.com").fill("playwright@microsoft.com")
```

```csharp
await page
    .GetByPlaceholder("name@example.com")
    .FillAsync("playwright@microsoft.com");
```

## template-locator-get-by-role

Allows locating elements by their [ARIA role](https://www.w3.org/TR/wai-aria-1.2/#roles), [ARIA attributes](https://www.w3.org/TR/wai-aria-1.2/#aria-attributes) and [accessible name](https://w3c.github.io/accname/#dfn-accessible-name).

**Usage**

Consider the following DOM structure.

```html
<h3>Sign up</h3>
<label>
  <input type="checkbox" /> Subscribe
</label>
<br/>
<button>Submit</button>
```

You can locate each element by it's implicit role:

```js
await expect(page.getByRole('heading', { name: 'Sign up' })).toBeVisible();

await page.getByRole('checkbox', { name: 'Subscribe' }).check();

await page.getByRole('button', { name: /submit/i }).click();
```

```python async
await expect(page.get_by_role("heading", name="Sign up")).to_be_visible()

await page.get_by_role("checkbox", name="Subscribe").check()

await page.get_by_role("button", name=re.compile("submit", re.IGNORECASE)).click()
```

```python sync
expect(page.get_by_role("heading", name="Sign up")).to_be_visible()

page.get_by_role("checkbox", name="Subscribe").check()

page.get_by_role("button", name=re.compile("submit", re.IGNORECASE)).click()
```

```java
assertThat(page
    .getByRole(AriaRole.HEADING,
               new Page.GetByRoleOptions().setName("Sign up")))
    .isVisible();

page.getByRole(AriaRole.CHECKBOX,
               new Page.GetByRoleOptions().setName("Subscribe"))
    .check();

page.getByRole(AriaRole.BUTTON,
               new Page.GetByRoleOptions().setName(
                   Pattern.compile("submit", Pattern.CASE_INSENSITIVE)))
    .click();
```

```csharp
await Expect(Page
    .GetByRole(AriaRole.Heading, new() { Name = "Sign up" }))
    .ToBeVisibleAsync();

await page
    .GetByRole(AriaRole.Checkbox, new() { Name = "Subscribe" })
    .CheckAsync();

await page
    .GetByRole(AriaRole.Button, new() {
        NameRegex = new Regex("submit", RegexOptions.IgnoreCase)
    })
    .ClickAsync();
```

**Details**

Role selector **does not replace** accessibility audits and conformance tests, but rather gives early feedback about the ARIA guidelines.

Many html elements have an implicitly [defined role](https://w3c.github.io/html-aam/#html-element-role-mappings) that is recognized by the role selector. You can find all the [supported roles here](https://www.w3.org/TR/wai-aria-1.2/#role_definitions). ARIA guidelines **do not recommend** duplicating implicit roles and attributes by setting `role` and/or `aria-*` attributes to default values.

## template-locator-get-by-title

Allows locating elements by their title attribute.

**Usage**

Consider the following DOM structure.

```html
<span title='Issues count'>25 issues</span>
```

You can check the issues count after locating it by the title text:

```js
await expect(page.getByTitle('Issues count')).toHaveText('25 issues');
```

```java
assertThat(page.getByTitle("Issues count")).hasText("25 issues");
```

```python async
await expect(page.get_by_title("Issues count")).to_have_text("25 issues")
```

```python sync
expect(page.get_by_title("Issues count")).to_have_text("25 issues")
```

```csharp
await Expect(Page.GetByTitle("Issues count")).toHaveText("25 issues");
```

## test-config-snapshot-path-template
- `type` ?<[string]>
* langs: js

This option configures a template controlling location of snapshots generated by [`method: PageAssertions.toHaveScreenshot#1`], [`method: LocatorAssertions.toMatchAriaSnapshot#2`] and [`method: SnapshotAssertions.toMatchSnapshot#1`].

You can configure templates for each assertion separately in [`property: TestConfig.expect`].

**Usage**

```js title="playwright.config.ts"
import { defineConfig } from '@playwright/test';

export default defineConfig({
  testDir: './tests',

  // Single template for all assertions
  snapshotPathTemplate: '{testDir}/__screenshots__/{testFilePath}/{arg}{ext}',

  // Assertion-specific templates
  expect: {
    toHaveScreenshot: {
      pathTemplate: '{testDir}/__screenshots__{/projectName}/{testFilePath}/{arg}{ext}',
    },
    toMatchAriaSnapshot: {
      pathTemplate: '{testDir}/__snapshots__/{testFilePath}/{arg}{ext}',
    },
  },
});
```

**Details**

The value might include some "tokens" that will be replaced with actual values during test execution.

Consider the following file structure:

```txt
playwright.config.ts
tests/
└── page/
    └── page-click.spec.ts
```

And the following `page-click.spec.ts` that uses `toHaveScreenshot()` call:

```js title="page-click.spec.ts"
import { test, expect } from '@playwright/test';

test.describe('suite', () => {
  test('test should work', async ({ page }) => {
    await expect(page).toHaveScreenshot(['foo', 'bar', 'baz.png']);
  });
});
```

The list of supported tokens:

* `{arg}` - Relative snapshot path **without extension**. This comes from the arguments passed to `toHaveScreenshot()`, `toMatchAriaSnapshot()` or `toMatchSnapshot()`; if called without arguments, this will be an auto-generated snapshot name.
  * Value: `foo/bar/baz`
* `{ext}` - Snapshot extension (with the leading dot).
  * Value: `.png`
* `{platform}` - The value of `process.platform`.
* `{projectName}` - Project's file-system-sanitized name, if any.
  * Value: `''` (empty string).
* `{snapshotDir}` - Project's [`property: TestProject.snapshotDir`].
  * Value: `/home/playwright/tests` (since `snapshotDir` is not provided in config, it defaults to `testDir`)
* `{testDir}` - Project's [`property: TestProject.testDir`].
  * Value: `/home/playwright/tests` (absolute path since `testDir` is resolved relative to directory with config)
* `{testFileDir}` - Directories in relative path from `testDir` to **test file**.
  * Value: `page`
* `{testFileName}` - Test file name with extension.
  * Value: `page-click.spec.ts`
* `{testFilePath}` - Relative path from `testDir` to **test file**.
  * Value: `page/page-click.spec.ts`
* `{testName}` - File-system-sanitized test title, including parent describes but excluding file name.
  * Value: `suite-test-should-work`

Each token can be preceded with a single character that will be used **only if** this token has non-empty value.

Consider the following config:

```js title="playwright.config.ts"
import { defineConfig } from '@playwright/test';

export default defineConfig({
  snapshotPathTemplate: '__screenshots__{/projectName}/{testFilePath}/{arg}{ext}',
  testMatch: 'example.spec.ts',
  projects: [
    { use: { browserName: 'firefox' } },
    { name: 'chromium', use: { browserName: 'chromium' } },
  ],
});
```

In this config:
1. First project **does not** have a name, so its snapshots will be stored in `<configDir>/__screenshots__/example.spec.ts/...`.
1. Second project **does** have a name, so its snapshots will be stored in `<configDir>/__screenshots__/chromium/example.spec.ts/..`.
1. Since `snapshotPathTemplate` resolves to relative path, it will be resolved relative to `configDir`.
1. Forward slashes `"/"` can be used as path separators on any platform.
