Summary

On a public bid-information site built of framesets, wait: {selector} never held. In a browser session on its search page:

{"wait": {"selector": "select[name=ejMaxDisplayRowCount]"}, "timeout": "5s"}
-> wait failed: Uncaught (in promise) Error: waitForSelector: Timeout 5000ms exceeded waiting for "select[name=ejMaxDisplayRowCount]" to be visible

The select was on screen, in a frame. #3429 made expect/when {text} and {selector} read the frames a page shows; wait: {selector} and an upload without into still looked in the top document only.

Root cause

  • WaitForSelector handed a CSS selector to the runtime's page.waitForSelector, which resolves a plain CSS selector in the main frame only. Frames are reached only through >> hops or a deep XPath.
  • upload without into counted xpath=//input[@type=file] through the runtime, which also evaluates in the main frame only. So a frameset page's only file input was reported as errNoFileInput.

Fix

  • shownDocuments (from Read the frames a page shows in fixed checks #3429) now also returns, for each document, the XPath of the frame holding it, in the runtime's deep-XPath form (/html[1]/frameset[1]/frame[2]/html[1]/...).
  • WaitForSelector:
    • A CSS selector is polled with the frame-aware SelectorVisible until it matches or the timeout ends, with the same error as before.
    • A selector with >> hops, or an XPath, still goes to the runtime as written.
  • SelectorVisible now also matches inside open shadow roots. The runtime's wait pierced shadow roots, so moving CSS waits onto SelectorVisible keeps that, and expect/when {selector} now agree with wait.
  • upload without into lists the file inputs of the page and its shown frames by deep XPath, refuses none or several as before, and gives the files to the one it finds.
  • The step reference (skills/dagu/references/steptypes.md, regenerated llms.txt) says which checks cover frames and shadow roots.

Tests

  • TestStagehandWaitsForSelectorInFrames uses the frameset fixture from Read the frames a page shows in fixed checks #3429 (nested framesets, hidden frames), with an element added 2s after its frame loads. A wait finds the late element and a link in a nested frame, a >> hop selector and a deep XPath still resolve, and an element of a hidden frame times out with the usual error. The CSS cases failed before the fix with the runtime's timeout.
  • TestStagehandPageChecks: an element inside an open shadow root is matched by SelectorVisible and by WaitForSelector.
  • TestStagehandUploadFindsTheFileInputInAFrame: on a frameset whose only file input is in a frame, an upload without into goes straight to that input. Before the fix it failed with no file input. The existing upload tests, including the count of four file inputs on a page that has them, are unchanged.

Checked with the built binary against the live site: the wait above, which failed after 5s, now holds in 9 ms; the frame[name=mainfrm] >> frame >> … form holds as before.


Summary by cubic

Fixes wait: {selector} and upload without into so they find elements in the frames a page shows, not just its top document.

  • A CSS selector wait now polls with the frame-aware visibility check until the element appears, with the same error as before; >> hops and XPath selectors still go to the runtime as written.
  • A selector wait's reads end with the wait's own timeout, so an unresponsive page now fails near the wait's deadline instead of a single page read's.
  • SelectorVisible now also matches inside open shadow roots, so wait and expect/when {selector} agree.
  • upload without into finds the page's only file input across shown frames by deep XPath, and still fails when there are none or several.
  • Checks read only frames of the page's own origin.

Tests

  • Adds coverage for waits on late and nested-frame elements, hidden frames timing out, a wait near its own timeout on an unresponsive page, open shadow roots, and a file input in a frame.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Selector checks and waits can find elements in same-origin frames and open shadow roots, including nested frames and XPath selectors.
    • Selector waits can detect elements that appear after the wait begins.
    • Uploads without a specified selector can target the page’s sole file input, including one inside a visible frame.
  • Documentation
    • Updated browser-operation guidance to describe frame, shadow-root, upload, and selector-wait behavior.

A wait for a selector, and an upload without into, looked only in the
page's own document. On a page built of frames that holds no form, so
wait {selector} ran out its whole timeout with the element on screen,
and an upload without into found no file input.

A wait for a CSS selector now holds once the selector matches a visible
element of the page or of the frames it shows, as expect {selector}
does, and both match inside open shadow roots, as the browser runtime's
wait did. A selector that hops into frames with >>, or an XPath, is
still found by the runtime as written. An upload without into takes the
only file input of the page and the frames it shows.

Walkthrough

Browser text and selector checks now include visible frames, and selector visibility includes open shadow roots. Selector waits support visible matches, frame-hop selectors, and XPath. An empty upload selector searches the page and shown frames for the sole file input.

Full details: Title check

Explanation

The title "Find a waited selector in the frames a page shows" matches the main change: CSS selector waits (wait: {selector}) now search the visible same-origin frames of a page instead of only the top document. It does not mention the upload and shadow-root changes, which is expected for a title. It is specific enough that a teammate scanning history would understand the primary change.

Full details: Description check

Explanation

The description follows the repository template. It has a Summary, a Changes section (as a Root cause and Fix breakdown), tests, and documentation notes. It explains the problem with a reproduction, the fix, and the tests added. The Related Issues section is missing; it does not reference an issue number and does not state that none applies. The Checklist is also absent, so the author did not confirm the style, self-review, test, documentation, or local test items. These are non-critical omissions, so the description is mostly complete.

A wait for a CSS selector read the page with the bound of a single page
read, thirty seconds, whatever its own timeout, so on a page that
stopped answering a one-second wait took thirty seconds to fail and
failed with the browser's error rather than the wait's. Its reads now
end with the wait, as a page's settling does, and a read the deadline
cuts short reports that the selector did not appear in time.

The reference and the contracts of the frame-aware checks now say that
they read the frames the page shows from its own origin, since a frame
from another origin cannot be read from the page.

30-35: Major · Functional Correctness · Heavy lift

Use a frame-aware locator for untargeted uploads.

page.Locator("xpath=" + inputs[0]) resolves in the top-level frame. The pinned runtime’s regular XPath resolver does not enter iframe documents. The runtime provides deepLocator for this case, but the pinned Go SDK exposes only Page.Locator. Add an equivalent Go binding and use it for the count and SetInputFiles operations. The current one-frame test also uses the unsupported cross-frame path; nested frames are not the only affected case.

@coderabbitai On the follow-up "Use a frame-aware locator for untargeted uploads" (stagehand_upload.go 30-35): not changing this, because the premise does not hold for the runtime this repository pins.

page.Locator("xpath=…") resolves a deep XPath across frame documents. The path pageFileInputsExpression returns is the same form the runtime writes in a snapshot's XPath map (/html[1]/frameset[1]/frame[2]/html[1]/body[1]/input[1]), the form replays already act on in frames.

  • TestStagehandUploadFindsTheFileInputInAFrame runs in real Chrome. The files reach the input in the frame: the frame's own onchange writes form-input got bid.pdf, and the test reads that line. Before this PR the same test failed with no file input, so the locator is reaching the frame, not some other element.
  • I also checked a nested case locally: an iframe inside the second frame of a frameset, holding an input with multiple, given two files with no into. The [@multiple] count and SetInputFiles both resolved through both frame levels, and the input's onchange logged both file names.

No separate deep-locator binding is needed.

@yohamta0 You're right. I withdraw “Use a frame-aware locator for untargeted uploads.” I incorrectly assumed that page.Locator("xpath=…") was limited to one document.

I checked the implementation and regression test. The test checks both uploadDirect and the frame input’s onchange output. Your reported nested-frame check also covers [@multiple] and SetInputFiles. No separate deep-locator binding is needed for the pinned runtime.

Learning: Within repository "dagucloud/dagu", only for files matching one of ["internal/runtime/builtin/browser/stagehand_upload.go"]: When reviewing untargeted uploads in internal/runtime/builtin/browser/stagehand_upload.go, do not assume page.Locator("xpath=…") is limited to the top document. The runtime validated in this conversation resolves the concatenated frame-document XPath returned by pageFileInputsExpression for both the [@multiple] count and SetInputFiles, including nested frames. Before requiring a separate frame-aware locator binding, check the pinned runtime's deep-XPath behavior and the regression coverage in TestStagehandUploadFindsTheFileInputInAFrame. If the runtime changes, recheck that behavior rather than assuming it remains supported.
