Examples

Given this HTML:

<form name="login" id="login" action="/authenticate" method="post">
    <div class="row">
      <div class="large-6 small-12 columns">
        <label for="username">Username</label>
        <input type="text" name="username" id="username">
      </div>
    </div>
    <div class="row">
      <div class="large-6 small-12 columns">
        <label for="password">Password</label>
        <input type="password" name="password" id="password">
      </div>
    </div>
      <button class="radius" type="submit"><i class="fa fa-2x fa-sign-in"> Login</i></button>
</form>

We could type credentials into the fields and submit the form to login:

def test_login(py: Pylenium):
    py.visit("https://the-internet.herokuapp.com/login")
    py.get("#username").type("tomsmith")
    py.get("#password").type("SuperSecretPassword!")
    py.get("button[type='submit']").submit()
    assert py.contains("You logged into a secure area!").should().be_visible()
