How to Get an Element's Attribute in Playwright
Better Stack Team
Updated on February 22, 2024
Playwright provides a native getAttribute() method on a locator for retrieving
the attribute of any element:
const dataActionValue = await page.getByRole('button').getAttribute('data-action');
To make assertions on the value of an attribute, use toHaveAttribute() as
follows:
await expect(page.getByRole('button')).toHaveAttribute('data-action', 'cancel');
Thanks for reading, and happy coding!
