[Feature] Add locator.clear() for input fields

I would like to request a locator.clear() functionality (similar to the one found in other frameworks) to empty the content of input fields (shouldn’t be limited to input and textarea elements though since elements don’t always follow these conventions).

Unfortunately, the workaround of using locator.fill('') doesn’t work reliably, it doesn’t change the content of some input fields at all.

However, this feature request wasn’t so much about my specific issue but rather about improving PW in general by adding a locator.clear() function so people don’t need to do locator.fill(‘’) which is less elegant. 😃

I agree there, fill(‘’) is not very idiomatic!

Im up for this one as well

await page.fill(‘[data-testid=“input-name”] input’, ‘Slim Shady’); await page.fill(‘[data-testid=“input-name”] input’, ‘’); await page.fill(‘[data-testid=“input-name”] input’, ‘Dr Dre’);

This doesnt sit right.
