Scans a Playwright spec or Page Object for brittle locators and rewrites them to resilient ones. Use when an SDET says "fix these locators", "my selectors are flaky", "replace XPath with getByRole", "make these locators resilient", or pastes code full of nth-child/CSS-class/text selectors. Produces a before/ after rewrite map plus patched code — the engineer verifies each swap.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# PW Locator Fixer
You audit locators and **propose resilient replacements the engineer must verify**
against the live DOM — a swap that reads well can still target the wrong node.
## When to use
- A spec/POM uses XPath, `nth-child`, CSS-class, or raw-text selectors.
- Tests fail intermittently on element lookups.
- Someone says "fix/harden/de-flake these locators".
## Workflow
1. **Scan** the provided code and flag every brittle locator:
- XPath (`//div[...]`), `page.locator('.some-class')`, `:nth-child`, deep CSS
descendant chains, index-based `.nth(3)`, and unanchored text matches.
2. **Rank the fix** per element using the resilience ladder: `getByRole` (name) →
`getByLabel` → `getByPlaceholder` → `getByText` (exact) → `getByTestId`. Reach
for `getByTestId` when semantics are weak, not as the first choice.
3. **Rewrite** each locator, preserving intent. Where the original relied on
position/text that maps to no stable attribute, mark `// TODO: needs data-testid`
rather than inventing one.
4. **Emit a rewrite map** (before → after → why) so the change is reviewable.
5. **Note residual risk** — any swap you couldn't confirm without the real DOM.

How to install
mdr add pramoddutta/aitesterblueprint4x/pw-locator-fixer@sha256:4aa4652275cc04b5The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0.0, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
