puppeteer howto find element within parent element












1















with cypress I can find child element within element as following:



cy.get('div#Login_form).within(() => {
cy.get('input[name="human[email]"]').type('John')
cy.get('input[name="human[password]"]').type('123456')
})


Is there any equivalence in Puppeteer for within()?



Thanks!

          Well one thing you can do is to declare your CSS selector paths as follows:



          await page.type('div#Login_form > input[name="human[email]"]', 'John');
          await page.type('div#Login_form > input[name="human[password]"]', '123456');


          Another alternative, which might prove easier to read (even if it does mean more lines of code) would be to do the following:



          // Get the form element
          const form = await page.$('div#Login_form');

          // Get the email and password elements from the form
          const email = await form.$('input[name="human[email]"]');
          const password = await form.$('input[name="human[password]"]');

          // Type the data into each element
          await email.type('John');
          await password.type('123456');
