Click

Simulates mouse click on the element found by selector.

Arguments

Argument	Type	Default value
selector	str	null
button	MouseButton	left
clickCount	Deprecated
delay	Deprecated
position_x	Deprecated
position_y	Deprecated
force	Deprecated
noWaitAfter	Deprecated
modifiers	Deprecated	null

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.

Arguments	Description
`selector`	Selector element to click. See the Finding elements section for details about the selectors.
`button`	Defaults to `left` if invalid.

! The arguments marked as Deprecated will be removed in the future, but the Click keyword will still be available! The reason for removing these arguments is the bad design of modifiers, which forces the user to set all other arguments as positional arguments when modifiers are used, and the missing extensibility of the keyword. Please use Click With Options when using arguments that are marked as deprecated.

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

Usage

Click id=button_location Click id=button_location left Click id=button_location right

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.

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

Modifiers can be specified in any order, and multiple modifiers can be specified. Valid modifier keys are `Control`, `Alt`, `Shift` and `Meta`. Due to the fact that the argument modifiers is a positional only argument, all preceding keyword arguments have to be specified as positional arguments before modifiers.
`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 (https://playwright.dev/docs/actionability).
`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`.
`trial`	When set, this method only performs the actionability checks and skips the action. Defaults to false. Useful to wait until the element is ready for the action without performing it.

Arguments clickCount, delay, position_x, position_y, force, noWaitAfter and trial are named-only arguments and must be specified using their names..

Arguments	Description
`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.

Usage examples.

Fill Secret

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

Arguments

Argument	Type	Default value

`selector`	Selector of the text field. See the Finding elements section for details about the selectors.
`force`	Set to True to skip Playwright's [https://playwright.dev/docs/actionability	Actionability checks].

This keyword does not log secret in Robot Framework logs, when keyword 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 like ${password} will not work!

Normal plain text will not work. If you want to use plain text, use Fill Text keyword instead.

This keyword will also work with a give cryptographic cipher text, that has been encrypted by Crypto library. See Crypto Library for more details.

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.

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

See Fill Text for other details.

Usage

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

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!"

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

${heading} Get Element By Role heading name=Sign up ${checkbox} Get Element By Role checkbox name=Subscribe ${button} Get Element By Role button name=/submit/i

Arguments	Description
`all_elements`	If True, returns all matched elements as a list.
`role`	Role from which shall be retrieved.

`include_hidden`	Option that controls whether hidden elements are matched. By default, only non-hidden elements, as defined by ARIA, are matched by role selector.
`level`	A number attribute that is usually present for roles heading, list item, row, treeitem, with default values for <h1>-<h6> elements.
`name`	Option to match the accessible name. By default, matching is case-insensitive and searches for a substring, use exact to control this behavior.
`pressed`	An attribute that is usually set by aria-pressed.
`selected`	An attribute that is usually set by aria-selected.

return_names		True

This Keyword returns a list of states that are valid for the selected element.

Arguments	Description
`selector`	Selector of the corresponding object. See the Finding elements section for details about the selectors.
`assertion_operator`	See Assertions for further details. Defaults to None.

`message`	overrides the default error message for assertion.
`return_names`	If set to `False` the keyword does return an IntFlag object instead of a list. Defaults to `True`.

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.

Usage

Get Element States h1 validate value & visible # Fails in case of an invisible element 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.

Arguments

Argument	Type	Default value
selector	str	null
duration	timedelta	0:00:05
width	str	2px
style	str	dotted
color	str	blue

Returns the number of highlighted elements. Keyword does not fail, if locator matched zero elements in the page. Keyword does not scroll elements to viewport and highlighted element might be outside the viewport. Use Scroll To Element keyword to scroll element in viewport.

Arguments	Description
`selector`	Selectors which shall be highlighted. See the Finding elements section for details about the selectors.
`duration`	Sets for how long the selector shall be highlighted. Defaults to `5s` => 5 seconds.
`width`	Sets the width of the higlight border. Defaults to 2px.
`style`	Sets the style of the border. Defaults to dotted.

Argument	Type	Default value
selector	str	null
position_x	float, None	None
position_y	float, None	None
force	bool	False
modifiers	KeyboardModifier	null

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.

Arguments	Description
`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 [https://playwright.dev/docs/actionability	Actionability checks].
`*modifiers`	Modifier keys to press. Ensures that only these modifiers are pressed during the hover, and then restores current modifiers back. If not specified, currently pressed modifiers are used.

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

Usage

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.

Argument	Type	Default value
path	PathLike	null

Fails if the upload has not happened during timeout.

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

Arguments	Description
`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.

Promise To Wait For Download

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

Arguments

Argument	Type	Default value
saveAs	str

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.

Arguments	Description
`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}

`scope`	Scope defines the live time of this setting. Available values are `Global`, `Suite` or `Test` / `Task`. See Scope Settings for more details.

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.

Usage

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

Reload

Reloads current active page.

Save Storage State

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.

Usage

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

It can be a percentage value of the absolute scrollable size, like `9.95%` or negative like `-10%`. It can be the string `height` to defining to scroll exactly one visible height down or up with `-height`. Be aware that some pages do lazy loading and load more content once you scroll down. The percentage of the current scrollable height is used and may change.
`horizontal`	defines where to scroll horizontally. Works same as vertical but defines positive values for right and negative values for left. `width` defines to scroll exactly one visible range to the right.
`behavior`	defines whether the scroll happens directly or it scrolls smoothly.

This keyword will also work with a give cryptographic cipher text, that has been encrypted by Crypto library. See Crypto Library for more details.

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.

`promises`	Promises to wait for.

Usage

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

Wait For Alert

Returns a promise to wait for next dialog on page, handles it with action and optionally verifies the dialogs text.

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}

Arguments

Argument	Type	Default value
condition	ConditionInputs	null
args	Any	null
timeout	timedelta, None	None
message	str, None	None

This Keyword is basically just a wrapper around our assertion keywords, but with a timeout. It can be used to wait for anything that also can be asserted with our keywords.

In comparison to Robot Frameworks Wait Until Keywords Succeeds this keyword is more readable and easier to use but is limited to Browser libraries assertion keywords.

Arguments	Description
`condition`	A condition, defined with Browser getter keywords, without the word `Get`.
`*args`	Arguments to pass to the condition keyword.
`timeout`	Timout to wait for the condition to become True. Uses default timeout of the library if not set.
`message`	Overrides the default error message.

The easiest way to use this keyword is first starting with an assertion keyword with assertion like: Get Text

Start:

Get Text id=status_bar contains Done

Then you replace the word Get with Wait For Condition and if necessary add the timeout argument.

End:

Wait For Condition Text id=status_bar contains Done

Example usage:

Wait For Condition Element States id=cdk-overlay-0 == detached Wait For Condition Element States //h1 contains visible editable enabled timeout=2 s Wait For Condition Title should start with Robot Wait For Condition Url should end with robotframework.org

Wait For Elements State

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

Arguments

Argument	Type	Default value
selector	str	null
state	ElementState	visible
timeout	timedelta, None	None
message	str, None	None

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.

Arguments	Description
`selector`	Selector of the corresponding object. See the Finding elements section for details about the selectors.
`state`	See ElementState for explanation.
`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.

Usage

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

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 the library if not set.

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.

Usage

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

Wait For Request

Waits for request matching matcher to be made.

Arguments

Argument	Type	Default value
matcher	str, RegExp
timeout	timedelta, None	None

Arguments	Description
`matcher`	Request URL matcher. Can be a string (Glob-Pattern), JavaScript RegExp (encapsulated in / with following flags) or JavaScript arrow-function that receives the Request object and returns a boolean. 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.

See Wait For Response for more details.

CAUTION: Before Browser library 17.0.0, the matcher argument was always either a regex or JS function. But the regex did not needed to be in slashes. The most simple way to migrate to the new syntax is to add slashes around the matcher. So /api/get/json becomes //api/get/json/.

Wait For Response

Waits for response matching matcher and returns the response as robot dict.

Arguments

Argument	Type	Default value
matcher	str, RegExp
timeout	timedelta, None	None

The response, which is returned by this keyword, is a robot 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 object, 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 successful, 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.

Arguments	Description
`matcher`	Request URL matcher. Can be a string (Glob-Pattern), JavaScript RegExp (encapsulated in / with following flags) or JavaScript arrow-function that receives the Response object and returns a boolean. By default (with empty string) matches first available request. For additional information, see the Playwright page.waitForResponse documentation.
`timeout`	Timeout supports Robot Framework time format. Uses default timeout if not set.

Matcher Examples:

Glob-Pattern:

Glob-Patterns are strings that can contain wildcards. The following wildcards are supported:

Possible wildcards/patterns are:

* matches any number of characters, except /
** matches any number of characters, including /
? matches one character, except /
[abc] matches one character in the brackets (in this example a, b or c)
[a-z] matches one character in the range (in this example a to z)
{foo,bar,baz} matches one of the strings in the braces (in this example foo, bar or baz)

Usage

Wait For Response **/api/get/text # matches any request with url ending with /api/get/text. example: https://browser.fi/api/get/text

RegExp:

Regular Expressions are JavaScript regular expressions encapsulated in / with optional following flags: Be aware that backslashes need to be escaped in Robot Framework, e.g. \\w instead of \w. See regex101 for more information on Regular Expressions.

Example:

Wait For Response /http://\\w+:\\d+/api/get/text/i # matches any request with url ending with /api/get/text and containing http:// followed by any word and port. example: http://localhost:8080/api/get/text

JavaScript Arrow-Function:

JavaScript Arrow-Functions are anonymous JavaScript functions that receive the Response object and return a boolean.

Example:

Wait For Response response => response.url() === 'http://localhost/api/post' && response.status() === 200 # matches any response with url http://localhost/api/post and status code 200

Robot Examples:

Synchronous Example:

Click \#delayed_request # Creates response which should be waited before next actions Wait For Response matcher=/http://\\w+:\\d+/api/get/text/i 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'

Arguments

Argument	Type	Default value
timeout	timedelta, None	None

Doesn't wait for network traffic that wasn't initiated within 500ms of page load.

Arguments	Description
