🚀 Feature Request
Hi,
Just like in Testing Library, I wish I could filter Locators by accessible description.
Example
page.getByRole('alert', { name, description });
page.getByRole('alert', {
name: 'Upload successful',
description: 'File "doc-2025.pdf" was uploaded successfully'
});
page.getByRole('alert', {
name: 'Upload successful',
description: 'File "report-2026.pdf" was uploaded successfully'
});
page.getByRole('alert', {
name: 'Invalid file',
description: 'File "demo.doc" has an invalid file format'
});
page.getByRole('alert', {
name: 'Invalid file',
description: 'File "test.pdf" exceeds the file size limit'
});Motivation
There are instances where pages render multiple elements with the same role and name, like the above examples, and their accessible description is the only meaningful discriminant.
Being able to filter locators by description would also help migrate existing codebases/tests from Testing Library to Playwright (or Vitest's ivya).
