Javascript – Check if element contains any text

In my test case there is an element that should be checked if it contains any text and it’s not empty, and if it’s empty fail the test.

I’ve tried to use toHaveText without a string like so:

await expect(myLocator).toHaveText();

but passing string/regex is mandatory.

How can I assert this kind of thing?

    I've found a way using Regex "Dot" Metacharacter, which means Any character (except newline character):

    await expect(myLocator).toHaveText(/./);

    You should try the following test :

    await expect(myLocator).not.toBeEmpty();

    You could use the following to check if the element has any text in it:

    expect(locator).not.toBeEmpty();

    As found in the playwright documentation (
    https://playwright.dev/docs/api/class-locatorassertions#locator-assertions-to-be-empty):

    toBeEmpty
    Ensures the Locator points to an empty editable element or to a DOM
    node that has no text.
