Can I use an embedded iframe?

Question

I have a complex page structure with an iframe (#dialogFrameContent) embbed in another iframe (#migration-iframe).

I'm using await t.switchToIframe('#dialogFrameContent') but I have the following error :

The specified selector does not match any element in the DOM tree.

         | Selector('#dialogFrameContent')

Is this kind of structure usable with testcafe?

Yes, you can embed an iframe inside an iframe. You can even embed an iframe inside an iframe inside an iframe inside an iframe. However that can be a performance problem. As a result I do not recommend doing that.

Yes, TestCafe allows you to use embedded iframes, but you need to switch to each parent iframe.

await t
    .switchToIframe('#migration-iframe')
    .switchToIframe('#dialogFrameContent');

In this case I recommend you update your question with a minimal project (or a public URL) and your test code. – Vladimir A. May 29 '20 at 14:54
