How to type slowly in playwright?

I've been using fill to type inside text boxes in playwright but that's causing issues where the automation script is moving too fast - faster than a human. I want to type as fast as humans type. Is there an alternative to fill to use to fill in a text field?

Solution

  • Sure:

    await page.locator('input field locator')
  .pressSequentially('text to enter', { delay: 100 }) 
  //the delay is optional, can be adjusted to be slower or faster

    Ref documentation: locator.pressSequentially()
