- [data-test-id='pseudo-element-demo-action']
- [aria-label='Pseudo-element Demo']
- getByRole('button', { name: 'Pseudo' })
Fallback
- section.pseudo-element-demo-container :nth-of-type(1)
- .card.pseudo_element_demo button:nth-of-type(1)
- form.pseudo-element-demo-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']
