toBeEnabled()

The toBeEnabled() method asserts that an element is enabled and interactive. This is a retrying assertion that automatically waits for the element to become enabled.

Syntax

JavaScript
await expect(locator).toBeEnabled();
await expect(locator).not.toBeEnabled();
await expect(locator).toBeEnabled(options);

Parameters

ParameterTypeDescription
optionsRetryConfigOptional configuration options

Returns

TypeDescription
PromiseA promise that resolves when the assertion passes

Description

The toBeEnabled() method checks if an element is enabled and interactive. An element is considered enabled if:

  • It exists in the DOM
  • It does not have the disabled attribute
  • It is not disabled through CSS or JavaScript
  • It can receive user interactions

This is a retrying assertion that will automatically re-check the element’s enabled state until it becomes enabled or the timeout is reached.

Usage

JavaScript
import { browser } from 'k6/browser';
import { expect } from 'https://jslib.k6.io/k6-testing/0.5.0/index.js';

export const options = {
  scenarios: {
    ui: {
      executor: 'shared-iterations',
      options: {
        browser: {
          type: 'chromium',
        },
      },
    },
  }
};

export default async function () {
  const page = await browser.newPage();
  await page.goto('https://quickpizza.grafana.com/');

  // Check that the pizza button is enabled
  await expect(page.locator('button[name="pizza-please"]')).toBeEnabled();

  // Check that buttons are generally enabled on the page
  await expect(page.locator('button')).toBeEnabled();
}
