Automation.clearAndType() function
Warning: This API is now obsolete.
- Use
fillinstead.
Clears an input element and types the value into it.
Signature:
export declare function clearAndType(ctx: Context, selector: string, value: string): Promise<void>;
Parameters
| Parameter | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| ctx | Context | Context object. |
| selector | string | Selector for input element to clear and type. |
| value | string | Value to type into input element. |
Returns:
Promise<void>
Remarks
Keep in mind that using the helper "clearAndType" on form fields will not trigger change events, and the website will not see the change. In this case, one almost always want to use "fill" or "type" instead.
Example
await clearAndType(ctx, 'input[name="firstName"]', 'some value');
