Selector tips

Good

  • [data-test-id='slow-api-response-secondary']
  • [data-test-id='slow-api-response-action']
  • [aria-label='Slow API Response']
  • getByRole('button', { name: 'Slow' })

Fallback

  • section.slow-api-response-container :nth-of-type(1)
  • .card.slow_api_response button:nth-of-type(1)
  • form.slow-api-response-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']
