  // Fill an input element with some text that we will later clear
  const login = page.locator('input[name="login"]');
  await login.type('admin');

  // Check that the element has been filled with text
  await check(login, {

  // Now clear the text from the element
  await login.clear();

  // Check that the element is now empty
