  • [data-test-id='hidden-element-display-none-secondary']
  • [data-test-id='hidden-element-display-none-action']
  • [aria-label='Hidden Element (display:none)']
  • getByRole('button', { name: 'Hidden' })

Fallback

  • section.hidden-element-display-none-container :nth-of-type(1)
  • .card.hidden_element_display_none button:nth-of-type(1)
  • form.hidden-element-display-none-form .field-group:nth-child(1)

Avoid

  • .mt-4.mb-2.flex.items-center > input:nth-child(1)
  • .css-1a2b3c4
  • div[class*='temp-'][class*='hover']
