I am using #playwright-java , learning by doing, first time user.
I have been attracted by the ease of use seen in the demos.
However, when facing a complex website it turns out it needs more trial&&error than expected.
Now, when I put the xpath or full xpath I do not get my info :/
Tried (different) xpaths in full page, then in target frame, got them using my browser devtools.
Is there a way to know if a Locator is really points to an existing element ?
When I get an exception, the line numbers are (I believe) for typescript and do not help.
When using debugger, Locator object has xpath attribute set, else a frame reference.
I tried to use the recorder but the selector presented is based on the value.
For a value I get:
page.frameLocator(“#legacy-iframe-3755”).getByRole(AriaRole.CELL, new FrameLocator.GetByRoleOptions().setName(“xxxxx €”)).click();
This wont work in my context (#legacy-iframe-3755 is not a stable value).
Unless there is a way to get a solid (unmutable) xpath from a locator gotten from a value.
Here is the stacktrace, for documentation.
“The expression is not a legal expression” is rather poor.
The guilty code happens in the loop to address the different options of the select droplist.
It is :
Locator locatorTableauPositions = page.locator(Constantes.Positions.IDENTIFIANT_TABLEAU);
// "xpath=//table@id=tabPTR"
int nombrePositions = locatorTableauPositions.locator("tr").count(); // BOOM
Is my locator not pointing to the target table ?
Is this not the way to get the rows count ?

Context:
I am trying to get my info from my broker account.
The code will be made public later although it will only be useful to the broker customers, mostly :fra: customers I believe. So I also pleased myself not coding in English this time.
Page has many frames and the info I am looking for is gotten from a sub page (php).
The iframe name changes over time so locator obtained from recorder is not possible for all infos
I looped in the frames, looked for the html declaring the select, then rewrote the different xpath for:
- adapting to the frame html root (I loaded it in my browser and used devtools)
- adapting to the row number
I tried accessing via xpath either from page or a shorter one from the frame.
Thank you for your time and expertise
