class: FrameLocator

  • since: v1.17

FrameLocator represents a view to the iframe on the page. It captures the logic sufficient to retrieve the iframe and locate elements in that iframe. FrameLocator can be created with either [method: Locator.contentFrame], [method: Page.frameLocator] or [method: Locator.frameLocator] method.

const locator = page.locator('#my-frame').contentFrame().getByText('Submit');
await locator.click();
Locator locator = page.locator("#my-frame").contentFrame().getByText("Submit");
locator.click();
locator = page.locator("#my-frame").content_frame.get_by_text("Submit")
await locator.click()
locator = page.locator("my-frame").content_frame.get_by_text("Submit")
locator.click()
var locator = page.Locator("#my-frame").ContentFrame.GetByText("Submit");
await locator.ClickAsync();

Strictness

Frame locators are strict. This means that all operations on frame locators will throw if more than one element matches a given selector.

// Throws if there are several frames in DOM:
await page.locator('.result-frame').contentFrame().getByRole('button').click();

// Works because we explicitly tell locator to pick the first frame:
await page.locator('.result-frame').contentFrame().first().getByRole('button').click();
# Throws if there are several frames in DOM:
await page.locator('.result-frame').content_frame.get_by_role('button').click()

# Works because we explicitly tell locator to pick the first frame:
await page.locator('.result-frame').first.content_frame.get_by_role('button').click()
# Throws if there are several frames in DOM:
page.locator('.result-frame').content_frame.get_by_role('button').click()

# Works because we explicitly tell locator to pick the first frame:
page.locator('.result-frame').first.content_frame.get_by_role('button').click()
// Throws if there are several frames in DOM:
page.locator(".result-frame").contentFrame().getByRole(AriaRole.BUTTON).click();

// Works because we explicitly tell locator to pick the first frame:
page.locator(".result-frame").first().contentFrame().getByRole(AriaRole.BUTTON).click();
// Throws if there are several frames in DOM:
await page.Locator(".result-frame").ContentFrame.GetByRole(AriaRole.Button).ClickAsync();

// Works because we explicitly tell locator to pick the first frame:
await page.Locator(".result-frame").First.ContentFrame.getByRole(AriaRole.Button).ClickAsync();

Converting Locator to FrameLocator

If you have a [Locator] object pointing to an iframe it can be converted to [FrameLocator] using [method: Locator.contentFrame].

Converting FrameLocator to Locator

If you have a [FrameLocator] object it can be converted to [Locator] pointing to the same iframe using [method: FrameLocator.owner].

method: FrameLocator.first

  • deprecated: Use [method: Locator.first] followed by [method: Locator.contentFrame] instead.
  • since: v1.17
  • returns: <[FrameLocator]>

Returns locator to the first matching frame.

method: FrameLocator.frameLocator

  • since: v1.17
  • returns: <[FrameLocator]>

When working with iframes, you can create a frame locator that will enter the iframe and allow selecting elements in that iframe.

  • deprecated: Use [method: Locator.nth] followed by [method: Locator.contentFrame] instead.
  • since: v1.17
  • returns: <[FrameLocator]>

Returns locator to the n-th matching frame. It's zero based, nth(0) selects the first frame.

param: FrameLocator.nth.index

  • since: v1.17
  • index <[int]>

method: FrameLocator.owner

  • since: v1.43
  • returns: <[Locator]>

Returns a [Locator] object pointing to the same iframe as this frame locator.

Useful when you have a [FrameLocator] object obtained somewhere, and later on would like to interact with the iframe element.

For a reverse operation, use [method: Locator.contentFrame].

Usage

const frameLocator = page.locator('iframe[name="embedded"]').contentFrame();
// ...
const locator = frameLocator.owner();
await expect(locator).toBeVisible();
FrameLocator frameLocator = page.locator("iframe[name=\"embedded\"]").contentFrame();
// ...
Locator locator = frameLocator.owner();
assertThat(locator).isVisible();
frame_locator = page.locator("iframe[name=\"embedded\"]").content_frame
# ...
locator = frame_locator.owner
await expect(locator).to_be_visible()
frame_locator = page.locator("iframe[name=\"embedded\"]").content_frame
# ...
locator = frame_locator.owner
expect(locator).to_be_visible()
var frameLocator = Page.Locator("iframe[name=\"embedded\"]").ContentFrame;
// ...
var locator = frameLocator.Owner;
await Expect(locator).ToBeVisibleAsync();
