Playwright - how to print element to HTML (.outerHTML)?

Question

I'm using Playwright with node.js. I've found an element with page.$$, how do I save its outer HTML to string?

Answer 1

If you have more element handles you got using page.$$() and you want to get an outer html of each, this would be a way:

const outerHtmls = await page.$$eval('.myElement', el => el.outerHtml);

More information about page.$$eval() could be found here.

Answer 2

Use locator.

Use of $$ is discouraged per latest playwright docs.

const tweets = page.locator('.tweet .retweets');
expect(await tweets.evaluate(node => node.outerHTML)).toBe('10 retweets');
