Puppeteer invalid selector
I'm trying to fill a form with Puppeteer on a webpage, the input has an id and I'm using it as a selector.
The ID is :
#loginPage:SiteTemplate:formulaire:login-field
When I get the selector from chrome it gives me that :
#loginPage3a SiteTemplate3a formulaire3a login-field
And wether I put the first or the second option in Puppeteer it spits me out this error :
Error: Evaluation failed: DOMException: Failed to execute 'querySelector' on 'Document': '#loginPage:SiteTemplate:formulaire:login-field' is not a valid selector.
Here is the code if needed :
(async () =>
const browser = await puppeteer.launch(headless: false);
const page = await browser.newPage();
await page.goto('XXX');
await page.click(GOTO_LOGIN_BUTTON_SELECTOR)
await page.waitForNavigation(waitUntil: 'load');
await page.waitFor(EMAIL_SELECTOR); // here
await page.focus(EMAIL_SELECTOR);
await page.keyboard.type(CREDS.email);
await page.focus(PASSWORD_SELECTOR);
await page.keyboard.type(CREDS.password);
await browser.close();
)();

One option, for an ID like that, is to do as follows:
const EMAIL_SELECTOR = '[id="loginPage:SiteTemplate:formulaire:login-field"]';
Or, if that doesn't work, split it up as follows to work around the use of the :
:
const EMAIL_SELECTOR = '[id*="loginPage"][id*="SiteTemplate"][id*="formulaire"][id*="login-field"]';
Hopefully one (or both) of those will help!

I'm not sure but I would drop the line await page.waitForNavigation(waitUntil: 'load');
And replace await page.waitFor(EMAIL_SELECTOR); // here
with await page.waitForSelector(EMAIL_SELECTOR);
And test to see if just using #login-field or other #loginPage > SiteTemplate > formulaire > login-field
I could be wrong as I'm still working this out too.

And replace await page.waitFor(EMAIL_SELECTOR); // here

And test to see if just using #login-field or other #loginPage > SiteTemplate > formulaire > login-field
