Implementation Reference

  • The main handler function that executes the browser_select_option tool by calling Playwright's page.selectOption method on the specified selector with the given value.
    private async selectOption(instanceId: string, selector: string, value: string, timeout: number): Promise<ToolResult> {
      const instance = this.browserManager.getInstance(instanceId);
      if (!instance) {
        return { success: false, error: `Instance ${instanceId} not found` };
      }
    
      try {
        await instance.page.selectOption(selector, value, { timeout });
        return {
          success: true,
          data: { selector, value, selected: true },
          instanceId
        };
      } catch (error) {
        return {
          success: false,
          error: `Select option failed: ${error instanceof Error ? error.message : error}`,
          instanceId
        };
      }
    }

        },
        timeout: {
          type: 'number',
          description: 'Timeout in milliseconds',
          default: 30000
        }
      },
      required: ['instanceId', 'selector', 'value']
    }
