find role link generates wrong CSS selector — matches <link> instead of <a> #1123
Description
Bug
find role link click --name "X" --exact fails to find <a> anchor elements because the generated CSS selector queries <link> (stylesheet) elements instead of <a> tags.
Root cause
In handle_getbyrole (cli/src/native/actions.rs), the JavaScript query is:
const els = document.querySelectorAll('[role="link"], link');The CSS selector link matches <link> elements (used in <head> for stylesheets/resources), not <a> anchor elements. The ARIA role link maps to <a> tags.
This means find role link only finds elements with an explicit role="link" attribute and misses all regular <a href="..."> links.
For comparison, button works correctly because <button> is both the ARIA implicit tag and the HTML element name. link is the ARIA role name, but the HTML element is <a>.
Reproduction
# Start agent-browser and navigate to any page with a standard <a> link
agent-browser navigate https://example.com
# This FAILS — finds no element (or matches a <link> stylesheet in <head>)
agent-browser find role link click --name "More information..." --exact
# Workaround using find text works, but is less precise
agent-browser find text "More information..." click --exactMinimal HTML to reproduce
<html>
<head>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css"> <!-- this is what the selector matches -->
</head>
<body>
<table>
<tr>
<td>
<a href="/page">Example Link</a> <!-- this is what it SHOULD match -->
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</body>
</html>agent-browser find role link click --name "Example Link" --exact
# Expected: clicks the <a> element
# Actual: "No element found: getByRole('link', { name: 'Example Link', exact: true })"Expected behavior
The query should use a instead of link:
const els = document.querySelectorAll('[role="link"], a');More generally, handle_getbyrole should map ARIA roles to their implicit HTML tag, since several roles differ from their element name (e.g. link → a, heading → h1–h6, textbox → input[type="text"], textarea, combobox → select).
