import asyncio
from playwright.async_api import async_playwright, Error
async def request(request):
pass
async def coroutine():
async with async_playwright() as playwright:
# Launch browser
binary = playwright.chromium
browser = await binary.launch(headless=True)
page = await browser.new_page()
page.on('request', request)
await page.goto("https://www.w3schools.com/tags/tryit.asp?filename=tryhtml_areamap2")
for frame in page.frames:
try:
txt = await frame.inner_text('body', timeout=3000)
except Error:
txt = ''
print('*****' + frame.name)
print('*****' + frame.url)
print(txt)
print('\n\n\n')
await browser.close()
asyncio.run(coroutine())
Describe the bug
I am trying to extract inner frame text using the code above. Instead of printing only the body text part, it is printing <script> tag as well. However when I open the URL and access the frame in my browser, it returns the text correctly e.g. the following works fine:
document.getElementById('adg-0-sync').innerText

@sohaib17 Oh, here you are calling
innerTextnot on thebodyelement, but on the outeriframeelement instead. I’d suggest to select the<body>in the elements panel, and then try$0.innerTextin the console. Let me know how that goes.It seems like the issue has been resolved. If you still encounter problems, please file a new issue with a repro and link to this one.
