isEnabled

Overview​

Use the isEnabled command to determine whether a given DOM element is enabled.

The command returns true if the DOM element is enabled; otherwise, it returns false.

Usage​

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

Usage Examples​

index.html

<input type="text" name="inputField" class="input1" />
<input type="text" name="inputField" class="input2" disabled />
<input type="text" name="inputField" class="input3" disabled="disabled" />

isEnabled.js

it("should detect if an element is enabled", async ({ browser }) => {
    let elem = await browser.$(".input1");
    let isEnabled = await elem.isEnabled();
    console.log(isEnabled); // outputs: true

    elem = await browser.$(".input2");
    isEnabled = await elem.isEnabled();
    console.log(isEnabled); // outputs: false

    elem = await browser.$(".input3");
    isEnabled = await elem.isEnabled();
