How to click a link with a specific text with Puppeteer
I wanted to click an “Accept all” cookie button with Puppeteer, I used this code:
const [linkcookie] = await page.$x("//a[contains(., 'Accept all')]")
if (linkcookie) {
await linkcookie.click()
}
Note that if the button is a button HTML element (it depends on the HTML markup used), you have to use
page.$x("//button[contains(., 'Accept all')]")
instead 👍
