What does chaining locators like this do?

page.getByRole("dialog").getByRole("button", { name: "OK" })

1Finds both the dialog and the button separately
2Searches for the button only inside the dialog
3Clicks the dialog, then clicks the button

Show the answer

Correct answer: Searches for the button only inside the dialog

Explanation

Chaining scopes the search to the parent locator. It avoids matching an "OK" button elsewhere on the page.
