Implementation Reference

  • The core handler function in PlaywrightController that executes the selectOption tool logic using Playwright's locator.selectOption method.
    async selectOption(selector: string, values: string[]): Promise<void> { try { if (!this.isInitialized() || !this.state.page) { throw new Error('Browser not initialized'); } this.log('Selecting options', { selector, values }); const locator = this.state.page.locator(selector); await locator.selectOption(values); this.log('Select option complete'); } catch (error: any) { console.error('Select option error:', error); throw new BrowserError('Failed to select option', 'Check if the selector exists and values are valid'); } }
  • Defines the tool schema including input validation for selector and values array.
    const SELECT_OPTION_TOOL: Tool = { name: "selectOption", description: "Select option(s) in a dropdown or select element", inputSchema: { type: "object", properties: { selector: { type: "string" }, values: { type: "array", items: { type: "string" }, description: "Array of values to select" } }, required: ["selector", "values"] } };
  • src/server.ts:514-553 (registration)
    Registers the selectOption tool in the tools object passed to MCP server capabilities. (excerpt shows relevant part)
