Interact with elements on your webpage

You can use page.locator() and pass in the element’s selector you want to find on the page. page.locator() will create and return a Locator object, which you can later use to interact with the element.

To find out which selectors the browser module supports, check out Selecting Elements.

Note

You can also use page.$() instead of page.locator(). You can find the differences between page.locator() and page.$ in the Locator API documentation.

JavaScript 
import { browser } from 'k6/browser';

export const options = {
  scenarios: {
    ui: {
      executor: 'shared-iterations',
      options: {
        browser: {
          type: 'chromium',
        },
      },
    },
  },
  thresholds: {
    checks: ['rate==1.0'],
  },
};

export default async function () {
  const page = await browser.newPage();

  try {
    await page.goto('https://test.k6.io/my_messages.php');

    // Enter login credentials
    await page.locator('input[name="login"]').type('admin');
    await page.locator('input[name="password"]').type('123');

    await page.screenshot({ path: 'screenshots/screenshot.png' });
  } finally {
    await page.close();
  }
}

The preceding code creates and returns a Locator object with the selectors for both login and password passed as arguments.

Within the Locator API, various methods such as type() can be used to interact with the elements. The type() method types a text to an input field.
