--- name: web-form-automation description: Automate web form interactions including login, file upload, text input, and form submission using Playwright. Use when user needs to automate website interactions, upload files to web forms, fill out forms with text input, click buttons, or submit data to web applications. Supports session management via cookies, compressed image uploads (webp), and proper event triggering for reliable form submission. --- # Web Form Automation Automate web form interactions reliably using Playwright with best practices for session management, file uploads, and form submission. ## Quick Start ```javascript const { chromium } = require('playwright'); // Basic form automation const browser = await chromium.launch({ headless: true }); const page = await browser.newPage(); await page.goto('https://example.com/form'); // Upload compressed images await page.locator('input[type="file"]').setInputFiles('/path/to/image.webp'); // Type text (triggers events properly) await page.locator('textarea').pressSequentially('Your text', { delay: 30 }); // Submit form await page.locator('button[type="submit"]').click({ force: true }); ``` ## Session Management ### Using Browser Session Data When user provides a JSON file with session data: ```javascript const sessionData = JSON.parse(fs.readFileSync('session.json', 'utf8')); // Set cookies before navigating for (const cookie of sessionData.cookies || []) { await context.addCookies([cookie]); } // Set localStorage/sessionStorage await page.evaluate((data) => { for (const [k, v] of Object.entries(data.localStorage || {})) { localStorage.setItem(k, v); } }, sessionData); ``` ## File Upload Best Practices ### Image Compression Always compress images before upload for reliability: ```bash # Convert to webp for best compression convert input.png output.webp # Or resize if needed convert input.png -resize 1024x1024 output.webp ``` **Size comparison:** - Original PNG: ~4MB - Compressed PNG: ~1MB - WebP: ~30-50KB (99% smaller) ### Upload Sequence ```javascript // 1. Find file inputs const fileInputs = await page.locator('input[type="file"]').all(); // 2. Upload with waiting time await fileInputs[0].setInputFiles('/path/to/start.webp'); await page.waitForTimeout(3000); // Wait for upload to process await fileInputs[1].setInputFiles('/path/to/end.webp'); await page.waitForTimeout(3000); ``` ## Text Input Best Practices ### Use pressSequentially, not fill() ❌ **Don't use fill()** - doesn't trigger input events: ```javascript await textInput.fill('text'); // May not activate submit button ``` ✅ **Use pressSequentially()** - simulates real typing: ```javascript await textInput.pressSequentially('text', { delay: 30 }); ``` ### Trigger Events Manually (if needed) ```javascript await page.evaluate(() => { const el = document.querySelector('textarea'); el.dispatchEvent(new Event('input', { bubbles: true })); el.dispatchEvent(new Event('change', { bubbles: true })); }); ``` ## Button Clicking ### Force Click When Disabled If button appears disabled but should be clickable: ```javascript await button.click({ force: true }); ``` ### Check Button State ```javascript const isEnabled = await button.isEnabled(); const isVisible = await button.isVisible(); ``` ## Complete Example: Video Generation Form ```javascript const { chromium } = require('playwright'); const fs = require('fs'); async function submitVideoForm(sessionFile, startImage, endImage, prompt) { const browser = await chromium.launch({ headless: true, args: ['--no-sandbox'] }); const context = await browser.newContext(); const page = await context.newPage(); // Load session if provided if (fs.existsSync(sessionFile)) { const session = JSON.parse(fs.readFileSync(sessionFile, 'utf8')); // Set cookies, localStorage... } // Navigate await page.goto('https://example.com/video', { waitUntil: 'domcontentloaded' }); await page.waitForTimeout(3000); // Upload images (webp compressed) const inputs = await page.locator('input[type="file"]').all(); await inputs[0].setInputFiles(startImage); await page.waitForTimeout(3000); await inputs[1].setInputFiles(endImage); await page.waitForTimeout(3000); // Select options await page.click('text=Seedance 2.0 Fast'); await page.click('text=15s'); // Type prompt const textarea = page.locator('textarea').first(); await textarea.pressSequentially(prompt, { delay: 30 }); await page.waitForTimeout(2000); // Submit await page.locator('button[class*="submit"]').click({ force: true }); // Wait and screenshot await page.waitForTimeout(5000); await page.screenshot({ path: 'result.png' }); await browser.close(); } ``` ## Scripts The `scripts/` directory contains reusable automation scripts: - `webp-compress.sh` - Convert images to webp format - `form-submit.js` - Generic form submission template ## Troubleshooting ### Button stays gray/disabled - Wait longer after file upload (3+ seconds) - Ensure text input triggers events (use pressSequentially) - Check if images are still uploading ### Upload times out - Compress images to webp format first - Reduce image dimensions if very large ### Form doesn't submit - Use force: true for click - Check button selector is correct - Verify all required fields are filled
