element.getText()

The element.getText() function in ShadowdriverJS is used to simulate a mouse getText on a web element. This function is similar to the getText() function in WebDriverJS.

Syntax​

await element.getText();

Parameters​

  • None

Returns​

  • A promise that will be resolved when the getText action is complete.

Example​

Here is an example of how to use element.getText() to getText a button on a web page:

// Find the button element by its ID and getText it
const li = await element(by.id('submitButton')).getText();
console.log(li)

In this example, the button with the ID submitButton will be getTexted.

Notes​

  • The element.getText() function will wait for the element to be getTextable before performing the getText action.
  • You can chain other element commands after element.getText() to perform additional actions on the element.
