In this video you'll learn how to locate web elements using xpath.
XPath is a language used to navigate and select elements in an XML or HTML document. It provides a concise syntax for locating elements based on their attributes, relationships, and positions within the document structure.
If you absolutely must use CSS or XPath locators, you can use `page.locator()` to create a locator that takes a selector describing how to find an element in the page. Playwright supports CSS and XPath selectors, and auto-detects them if you omit css= or xpath= prefix.
🔧 When to use?
CSS and XPath are not recommended as the DOM can often change leading to non resilient tests. Instead, try to come up with a locator that is close to how the user perceives the page such as role locators or define an explicit testing contract using test ids.
