getTagName

Get tag name of a DOM-element.

Usage

Examples

Asynchronous Mode

index.html

<div id="elem">Lorem ipsum</div>

getTagName.js

it('should demonstrate the getTagName command', async () => {
    const elem = await $('#elem');

    const tagName = await elem.getTagName();
    console.log(tagName); // outputs: "div"
})

Synchronous Mode

index.html

<div id="elem">Lorem ipsum</div>

getTagName.js

it('should demonstrate the getTagName command', () => {
    const elem = $('#elem');

    const tagName = elem.getTagName();
    console.log(tagName); // outputs: "div"
})

caution

Synchronous Mode will depcrecated with Node.js v16. With an update to the underlying Chromium version it became technically impossible to provide the same synchronous behavior. We recommend to start transition to asynchronous command execution. For more information, see our RFC.
