The WebDriver Protocol provides several selector strategies to query an element. WebdriverIO simplifies them to keep selecting elements simple. Please note that even though the command to query elements is called $ and $$, they have nothing to do with jQuery or the Sizzle Selector Engine.

While there are so many different selectors available, only a few of them provide a resilient way to find the right element. For example, given the following button:

<button
  id="main"
  class="btn btn-large"
  name="submission"
  role="button"
  data-testid="submit"
>
  Submit
</button>

We do and do not recommend the following selectors:

CSS Query Selector​

If not indicated otherwise, WebdriverIO will query elements using the CSS selector pattern, e.g.:

loading...

Link Text​

To get an anchor element with a specific text in it, query the text starting with an equals (=) sign.

For example:

loading...

You can query this element by calling:

loading...
