FAQs
Do standard Playwright commands still work?​
Yes. Playwright-SAP only adds SAP-specific locators; all native Playwright APIs and integrations behave normally.
Which languages are supported?​
Although Playwright supports multiple languages (JavaScript, TypeScript, Python, Java, .NET), currently Playwright-SAP only supports JavaScript and TypeScript.### Does this support Ariba / Concur / SuccessFactors, etc.? No. Only SAP GUI for HTML (WebGUI) is supported currently.
When to use getByRoleSID vs locateSID?​
Use getByRoleSID for: standard elements in the usr path, readability, common role types.
Use locateSID for: complex/nested tables, anything outside usr, max stability across versions, custom controls.
How do I get an SID?​
Inspect the element → find the lsdata attribute → its value is the SID (pass it to locateSID).
Can I use standard Playwright locators with SAP WebGUI?​
Yes, you can use standard Playwright locators (like page.getByRole(), page.getByText(), etc.) with SAP WebGUI. However, these locators may be less stable across SAP versions and updates compared to SID-based locators, as they rely on the HTML structure which can change.
I found a bug. Where can I report it?​
Playwright-SAP is a relatively new project and there might be some bugs. Thanks for reporting it.
