Discover how to identify dropdown types using DOM attributes, write efficient locators, and implement robust assertions to verify your test cases. Whether it’s selecting options by value, label, or index for static dropdowns, or handling dynamic dropdowns with custom logic, this tutorial has got you covered. By the end of this session, you’ll have the skills to tackle dropdown automation challenges like a pro. Perfect for testers and developers looking to level up their Playwright expertise! ➡ What Is the Difference Between Static and Dynamic Dropdowns? • 𝐒𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐜 𝐃𝐫𝐨𝐩𝐝𝐨𝐰𝐧: A static dropdown has predefined options in the HTML and uses a select tag. The options remain fixed and do not change dynamically. For example, you can select values using their value, label, or index attributes. • 𝐃𝐲𝐧𝐚𝐦𝐢𝐜 𝐃𝐫𝐨𝐩𝐝𝐨𝐰𝐧: A dynamic dropdown generates options dynamically, usually from a database or API, and often uses tags like div or span instead of select. The options may change based on user input or other actions, such as searching within the dropdown or filtering the results. ➡How Can I Automate Dropdown Selection in Playwright? Use the selectOption() method for static dropdowns and custom locators with click() for dynamic dropdowns. 📍𝐆𝐢𝐭𝐇𝐮𝐛𝐋𝐢𝐧𝐤: https://github.com/VigneshSrinivasaRaghavan/Zero-to-Hero-Master-Playwright-Automation-with-Typescript/tree/main/7_Dropdow_Handling 𝐕𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐨 𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐩𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐬 👀 00:00 - Introduction 01:09 - What is a Dropdown? 05:01 - Handling Single Static Dropdown 08:55 - Handling Multi Static Dropdown 12:19 - Handling Dynamic Searchable Dropdown 17:16 - Handling Dynamic Non-Searchable Dropdown 22:17 - Code Execution & Review 29:06 - Closing Words 💬 Get started with a detailed guide to Playwright Testing Tutorial ➡ https://www.testmuai.com/playwright 𝐑𝐞𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐁𝐥𝐨𝐠𝐬 & 𝐇𝐮𝐛𝐬📝 ➡ Playwright End To End Testing Tutorial: A Complete Guide: https://bit.ly/3LbdF3V ➡ Playwright Tutorial: Getting Started With Playwright Framework: https://bit.ly/3LxhmT0 ➡ Playwright Tutorial: How to Handle Alerts and Dropdowns: https://bit.ly/3RP1rT8 Sign Up for TestMu AI!
