Methods inherited from FrameEnabledAction​

inFrame​

Introduced in: 1.3.0

A webpage may be associated with multiple Frame objects. Each webpage possesses a primary frame and interactions at the page level such as clicking, are typically performed within this main frame. In addition to the main frame, a webpage can incorporate extra frames using the HTML 'iframe' tag. These supplementary frames can be targeted for interactions occurring within the specific frame. To reach elements in those frames you can use the inFrame() method to find the specified frame selector using the BrowseTheWeb ability. You can also chain frame objects to go down to the inner most iframe using the inFrame() API. Be aware the sequence starts with outer most iframe and goes down to inner most iframe.

public inFrame(frameSelector: FrameSelector): Check;
  • Description: Finds the specified frame selector using the BrowseTheWeb ability.
  • Parameters:
    • frameSelector - The FrameSelector.
  • Returns: Action - Returns the current action.

Usage:

// Find an element in a specific frame
await actor.attemptsTo(
    Find.element('#myElement').inFrame('#myFrame'),
