Class: SelectDriver

Defined in: packages/component-driver-primevue-v4/src/components/SelectDriver.ts:69

Driver for the PrimeVue Select component (the v4 rename of Dropdown).

DOM audit (primevue@4.5.5): the in-tree root is a styled <div data-pc-name="select">; the ARIA surface lives on an inner <span role="combobox"> carrying aria-expanded, aria-disabled and aria-controls → the id of the teleported overlay's role="listbox" <ul> (a document.body child by default via appendTo). Options are <li role="option"> children of that list with aria-label/ aria-selected — and, like Radix (and unlike MUI's data-value), no value-ish attribute anywhere: the optionValue a consumer binds never reaches the DOM. The only portably readable item identity is therefore the VISIBLE LABEL — getValue/setValue operate on that label, and getSelectedLabel/selectByLabel are the primary, unambiguously named surface (the same decision the Radix SelectDriver records).

The trigger's visible text is the data-pc-section="label" span, which shows the placeholder when nothing is selected; PrimeVue marks that state with a placeholder/empty token in the span's data-p attribute, which is how getSelectedLabel distinguishes "no selection" from a real selection whose label happens to equal the placeholder.

Properties​

commutableOption​

readonly commutableOption: CommutableComponentDriverOption

Defined in: packages/core/dist/index.d.mts:1182

The component-agnostic slice of the constructor option that is safe to share across the whole driver tree — everything the constructor received EXCEPT the component-specific parts, which each driver owns for itself.

isVisible(): Promise<boolean>

Defined in: packages/core/dist/index.d.mts:1336

Inherited from​

ComponentDriver.isVisible


pressKey()​

pressKey(key, option?): Promise<void>

Defined in: packages/core/dist/index.d.mts:1268

Dispatch a keyboard key press on the component. See Interactor.pressKey.

scrollIntoView()​

scrollIntoView(): Promise<void>

Defined in: packages/core/dist/index.d.mts:1289

Scroll the component into the viewport. See Interactor.scrollIntoView.

jsdom has no layout engine, so the scroll is a no-op there and behavioral assertions (visibility, offset) are E2E-only.

Returns​

Promise<void>

Inherited from​

ComponentDriver.scrollIntoView


typeText()​

typeText(text): Promise<void>

Defined in: packages/core/dist/index.d.mts:1274

Returns​

Promise<void>

Inherited from​

ComponentDriver.typeText


waitUntil()​

Type Parameters​
T​

T

Parameters​
option​

WaitUntilOption<T>

Returns​

Promise<T>

Inherited from​

ComponentDriver.waitUntil


waitUntilComponentState()​

waitUntilComponentState(option?): Promise<void>

Defined in: packages/core/dist/index.d.mts:1355

Wait until the component is in the expected state such as the component's visibility or existence. If the component has not reached the expected state within the timeout, it will throw an error.

By default it waits until the component is attached to the DOM within 30 seconds.

Parameters​
option?​

Partial<Readonly<WaitForOption>>

The option to configure the wait behavior

Returns​

Promise<void>

Inherited from​

ComponentDriver.waitUntilComponentState


waitUntilVisible()​

waitUntilVisible(timeoutMs?): Promise<void>

Defined in: packages/core/dist/index.d.mts:1343

Wait until the component is attached and becomes visible to the DOM.

Parameters​
timeoutMs?​

number

The number of milliseconds to wait before timing out. Defaults to defaultWaitForOption.timeoutMs so this wait shares a single flake-tolerance source with waitUntilComponentState (#1057).

Returns​

Promise<void>

Inherited from​

ComponentDriver.waitUntilVisible


overriddenParentLocator()​

static overriddenParentLocator(): Optional<PartLocator>

Defined in: packages/core/dist/index.d.mts:1211

Portal hook: where to re-root this driver's locator when its component renders outside the parent's DOM (a modal, popup, drawer). Return the PartLocator that locates the component from the document root, or undefined (the default) for normal in-tree components whose locator chains from the parent.

This is static because it is per-class metadata read off the constructor before any instance exists — which makes the "no instance state" constraint structural rather than a documented caution. Override with static override.

Returns​

Optional<PartLocator>

Inherited from​

ComponentDriver.overriddenParentLocator


overrideLocatorRelativePosition()​

static overrideLocatorRelativePosition(): Optional<LocatorRelativePosition>

Defined in: packages/core/dist/index.d.mts:1221

Portal hook: the locator relative position to apply when the component's real DOM is a sibling/elsewhere rather than a descendant (e.g. a MUI dialog rendered at the document root, located by a "Same"-level selector). Return undefined (the default) to keep the natural position declared by the ScenePart.

Static for the same reason as ComponentDriver.overriddenParentLocator: it is class-level metadata read before construction. Override with static override.

Returns​

Optional<LocatorRelativePosition>

Inherited from​

ComponentDriver.overrideLocatorRelativePosition

Protected members (16)

Methods​

activate()​

protected activate(): Promise<void>

Defined in: packages/core/dist/index.d.mts:1282

Activate the component without relying on pointer geometry. See Interactor.activate.

Returns​

Promise<void>

Inherited from​

ComponentDriver.activate


contextMenu()​

protected contextMenu(): Promise<void>

Defined in: packages/core/dist/index.d.mts:1278

Dispatch a right-click / contextmenu event on the component. See Interactor.contextMenu.

Returns​

Promise<void>

Inherited from​

ComponentDriver.contextMenu


drag()​

protected drag(delta): Promise<void>

Defined in: packages/core/dist/index.d.mts:1320

Drag this component by the given pixel delta from its center. See Interactor.drag.

Prefer a keyboard-driven setValue over a true drag in real drivers — these drag primitives exist only for cases keyboard cannot express (e.g. panning a Lightbox, reordering a column). jsdom has no layout engine, so the positional outcome of the drag is E2E-only there.

Parameters​
delta​

Point

Pixel offset to drag by

Returns​

Promise<void>

Inherited from​

ComponentDriver.drag


dragTo()​

protected dragTo(target): Promise<void>

Defined in: packages/core/dist/index.d.mts:1309

Drag this component and drop it onto another component. See Interactor.dragTo.

Prefer a keyboard-driven setValue over a true drag in real drivers — these drag primitives exist only for cases keyboard cannot express (e.g. panning a Lightbox, reordering a column). jsdom has no layout engine, so the positional outcome of the drag is E2E-only there.

Parameters​
target​

ComponentDriver<any>

Another driver whose root element is the drop target

Returns​

Promise<void>

Inherited from​

ComponentDriver.dragTo


enforcePartExistence()​

protected enforcePartExistence(partName): Promise<void>

Defined in: packages/core/dist/index.d.mts:1235

Check the specified parts' existences, and throw MissingPartError if any of the part is found not existence. Existence is defined by the part's existence in the DOM regardless of its visibility on the screen

Parameters​
partName​

"dropdown" | readonly "dropdown"[]

Single or array of the names of the parts to be enforced

Returns​

Promise<void>

Inherited from​

ComponentDriver.enforcePartExistence


getBoundingRect()​

protected getBoundingRect(): Promise<BoundingRect>

Defined in: packages/core/dist/index.d.mts:1327

Get this component's bounding rectangle. See Interactor.getBoundingRect.

jsdom has no layout engine, so every coordinate and dimension is 0 there; real geometry is E2E-only.

Returns​

Promise<BoundingRect>

Inherited from​

ComponentDriver.getBoundingRect


getMissingPartNames()​

protected getMissingPartNames(partName): Promise<readonly "dropdown"[]>

Defined in: packages/core/dist/index.d.mts:1241
