In this video, we will learn how to handle different types of dropdowns in Playwright using TypeScript with practical examples. We will cover three different types: 1. Single Select Dropdown – Learn how to handle a standard HTML dropdown using Playwright's `selectOption()` method. We will also understand how to select options using value, label and index. 2. Multi-Select List Box – Learn how to select multiple options using an array and verify the selected values using `toHaveValues()`. 3. Custom Dropdown – Learn how to handle a dropdown that does not use an HTML `select` tag. We will use locators, chaining locators, `getByRole()`, visibility assertions and text validation to select the required option. By the end of this session, you will understand how to identify and handle different dropdown implementations in real-time automation projects. This session is part of my **Playwright in Action** series, designed for beginners, freshers and manual testers who want to learn Playwright automation step by step. **Practice with me and build your Playwright automation skills!** Subscribe to Script and Execute for more practical Playwright tutorials. #Playwright #PlaywrightTypeScript #PlaywrightAutomation #DropdownHandling #AutomationTesting #SoftwareTesting #TypeScript #WebAutomation #PlaywrightForBeginners #ScriptAndExecute
