DESCRIPTION

SUBROUTINES/METHODS

new

returns a new element.

uuid

returns the browser generated UUID connected with this element.

browser

returns the browser connected with the element.

click

sends a 'click' to the element. The browser will wait for any page load to complete or the session's page_load duration to elapse before returning, which, by default is 5 minutes. The click method is also used to choose an option in a select dropdown.

use Firefox::Marionette();

my $firefox = Firefox::Marionette->new(visible => 1)->go('https://ebay.com');
my $select = $firefox->find_tag('select');
foreach my $option ($select->find_tag('option')) {
    if ($option->property('value') == 58058) { # Computers/Tablets & Networking
        $option->click();
    }
}

clear

clears any user supplied input from the element

text

returns the text that is contained by that element (if any)

tag_name

returns the relevant tag name. For example 'a' or 'input'.

rect

returns the current position and size of the element
