An HTML page is essentially a hierarchy of nested nodes. For example, I might have a panel that displays a dialog containing a form, and within that form, a confirmation button.
When locating this button using Playwright, I could create a filter cascade to locate the button at the end of the node hierarchy. Alternatively, I could select the button directly without needing to know that it is nested within a form, which is inside a dialog, and so on.
Which approach should I use? Should I ensure the button’s location by filtering through nodes, or should I keep it simple and select it directly?
