get_attribute() doesn't return value of input

[akozyreva]

Hi!
Trying to get value of input and get an error

from playwright.sync_api import sync_playwright

with sync_playwright() as p:
    browser = p.chromium.launch(headless=False)
    page = browser.new_page()

    page.goto("https://github.com/", wait_until='networkidle', timeout=30000)
    page.fill("//input[@type='text']", "testing")
    page.wait_for_timeout(5000)
    val = page.get_attribute("//input[@type='text']", "value")
    assert val == "testing"
    browser.close()

Actual value is empty

Hi! value is a property and no attribute, you have to do something like that:

val = page.eval_on_selector("//input[@type='text']", "e => e.value")

see here for more background on it (and vote it up if you want to see the change in Playwright)

Hi @mxschmitt
It still doesn't work, val = None

from playwright.sync_api import sync_playwright

with sync_playwright() as p:
    browser = p.chromium.launch(headless=False)
    page = browser.new_page()

    page.goto("https://github.com/", wait_until='networkidle', timeout=30000)
    page.fill("//input[@type='text']", "testing")
    page.wait_for_timeout(5000)
    val = page.evaluate("//input[@type='text']", "e => e.value")
    print(val)
    browser.close()

@akozyreva my fault! It should be eval_on_selector.
