clearValue

Overview​

Use the clearValue command to clear the value of an <input> or <textarea> element.

warning

Make sure you can interact with the element before applying this command.

You won't be able to clear the value of an element that is disabled or in read-only mode.

Usage​

await browser.$(selector).clearValue();

Usage Examples​

it("should demonstrate the clearValue command", async ({ browser }) => {
    const elem = await browser.$(".input");
    await elem.setValue("test123");

    const value = await elem.getValue();
    console.log(value); // outputs: 'test123'

    await elem.clearValue();
    value = await elem.getValue();
    assert.equal(value, ""); // true
});
