Nested locator with first()

[TempleOfTemplar]

What are you trying to achieve?

Get first element with attr tid="device" inside block with attr tid="requesting-devices-list", using following selector: locate("[tid=requesting-devices-list] [tid=device]").first()

• (also i tried to use: locate({tid: 'device'}).inside({tid: 'requesting-devices-list'}).first() , cause i have custom selector "tid=..." in config)

What do you get instead?

Error: 
XPath with round brackets is not possible here! May be a nested locator with at() last() or first() causes this error.

locate("[tid=requesting-devices-list] [tid=device]").first()

This would be really useful to support nested locators

agreed. I try go generate .//tr[position()=1]/td/button[class="button"] and got this error
