Pages


Each BrowserContext can have multiple pages. A Page refers to a single tab or a popup window within a browser context. It should be used to navigate to URLs and interact with the page content.

  • Sync

  • Async

    page = context.new_page()# Navigate explicitly, similar to entering a URL in the browser.page.goto('http://example.com')# Fill an input.page.locator('#search').fill('query')# Navigate implicitly by clicking a link.page.locator('#submit').click()# Expect a new url.print(page.url)

    page = await context.new_page()# Navigate explicitly, similar to entering a URL in the browser.await page.goto('http://example.com')# Fill an input.await page.locator('#search').fill('query')# Navigate implicitly by clicking a link.await page.locator('#submit').click()# Expect a new url.print(page.url)

Multiple pages


Each browser context can host multiple pages (tabs).

  • Each page behaves like a focused, active page. Bringing the page to front is not required.

  • Pages inside a context respect context-level emulation, like viewport sizes, custom network routes or browser locale.

  • Sync

  • Async

    create two pagespage_one = context.new_page()page_two = context.new_page()# get pages of a browser contextall_pages = context.pages

    create two pagespage_one = await context.new_page()page_two = await context.new_page()# get pages of a browser contextall_pages = context.pages

Handling new pages


The page event on browser contexts can be used to get new pages that are created in the context. This can be used to handle new pages opened by target="_blank" links.

  • Sync

  • Async

    Get page after a specific action (e.g. clicking a link)with context.expect_page() as new_page_info: page.get_by_text("open new tab").click() # Opens a new tabnew_page = new_page_info.value# Interact with the new page normallynew_page.get_by_role("button").click()print(new_page.title())

    Get page after a specific action (e.g. clicking a link)async with context.expect_page() as new_page_info: await page.get_by_text("open new tab").click() # Opens a new tabnew_page = await new_page_info.value# Interact with the new page normallyawait new_page.get_by_role("button").click()print(await new_page.title())

If the action that triggers the new page is unknown, the following pattern can be used.

  • Sync

  • Async

    Get all new pages (including popups) in the contextdef handle_page(page): page.wait_for_load_state() print(page.title())context.on("page", handle_page)

    Get all new pages (including popups) in the contextasync def handle_page(page): await page.wait_for_load_state() print(await page.title())context.on("page", handle_page)

Handling popups


If the page opens a pop-up (e.g. pages opened by target="_blank" links), you can get a reference to it by listening to the popup event on the page.

This event is emitted in addition to the browserContext.on('page') event, but only for popups relevant to this page.

  • Sync

  • Async

    Get popup after a specific action (e.g., click)with page.expect_popup() as popup_info: page.get_by_text("open the popup").click()popup = popup_info.value# Interact with the popup normallypopup.get_by_role("button").click()print(popup.title())

    Get popup after a specific action (e.g., click)async with page.expect_popup() as popup_info: await page.get_by_text("open the popup").click()popup = await popup_info.value# Interact with the popup normallyawait popup.get_by_role("button").click()print(await popup.title())

If the action that triggers the popup is unknown, the following pattern can be used.
