 # Test File Uploads And Downloads
 
-Use this pattern when a workflow imports data, uploads an attachment, exports a
-report, or verifies a generated file.
+Import, attachment, and export flows are easy to break and awkward to test by
+hand. CraftDriver sets files on a real `<input type="file">` and captures
+downloads to a directory you choose, so you can assert on the bytes that land on
+disk. This recipe uploads a fixture to the live
+[upload example](https://dtopuzov.github.io/craftdriver/examples/upload.html),
+then downloads a report from the
+[download example](https://dtopuzov.github.io/craftdriver/examples/download.html).
+It sets `downloadsDir` at launch, so it shows the `launch` call.
 
 ```ts
-import { afterAll, beforeAll, describe, expect, it } from 'vitest';

+# Find Elements On The Page
+
+Everything you do with CraftDriver — click, fill, assert — starts by pointing at
+an element. Before you can automate anything, you have to name the thing you
+want. It's the first skill to learn, and it pays to learn it in the right order:
+some ways of naming an element survive a redesign or a translation, and some
+don't. This recipe starts with the anchors that hold up almost everywhere, then
+the more expressive ones and where they earn their place.
+
+It drives the live
+[login example](https://dtopuzov.github.io/craftdriver/examples/login.html).
+
+## Inspect the page first
+
+Open the page in a real browser, right-click the element you care about, and
+choose **Inspect**. Then look for a handle, roughly in this order:
+
+1. **A stable attribute you can anchor to** — a form field's `name`, an input
+   `type`, a hand-written `id`, or a `data-testid`. None of these change when the
+   wording or the layout does.
+2. **What the element is to a user** — its *role* (button, link, heading,
+   checkbox) and its *accessible name* (its visible words, or an input's
+   `<label>`).
+3. **Its visible text**, when that's the thing that identifies it.
+
+The login form, inspected, has ids and `name`s on the fields and a typed submit
+button:
+
+```html
+<h1>Login</h1>
+<label for="username">Username</label>
+<input id="username" name="username" />
+<label for="password">Password</label>
+<input id="password" name="password" />
+<button id="submit" type="submit">Sign in</button>
+```
+
+## Start with anchors that don't move
+
+Some anchors don't change when the copy changes, because they aren't copy — a
+form field's `name` is a backend contract, an input `type` is semantic, a
+hand-written `id` is put there on purpose. Reach for these first: they read
+clearly, they survive redesigns, and they resolve the same whether the page ships
+in English or German.
+
+```ts
+// Fields by their `name` — a form contract, not UI text
+await browser.find(By.name('username')).fill('alice');
+await browser.find(By.name('password')).fill('secret');
+
+// The submit button by its semantic type
+await browser.find('button[type="submit"]').click();
+
+// The result by its stable id
+await browser.locator('#welcome').expect().toBeVisible();
+```
+
+Each has a boundary worth knowing: `name` and `type` live mostly on form
+controls, so they won't help you point at a heading or a menu item; and an `id`
+is only trustworthy when it's authored for meaning — framework-generated ids like
+`#mui-4213` churn between builds, so never anchor to those.
+
+A word on `data-testid`, since it comes up constantly. It's the most robust
+anchor there is *when it's in the page you test* — invisible to users, untouched
+by redesign or translation. But test ids aren't a browser or "dev mode" feature;
+they're attributes a team chooses to add, and some builds strip them to trim the
+payload. So don't assume they exist: open the real production DOM and look. If
+you own the app, add them and make sure the production build keeps them; if you
+don't, lean on `name`, `type`, and honest semantic HTML — those are always
+shipped.
+
+## Match the way a user sees the page
+
+The anchors above are *plumbing* — attributes wired into the markup. Sometimes
+you want the opposite: to find an element the way a person, or a screen reader,
+actually perceives it. That's what `getByRole`, `getByLabel`, and `getByText`
+are for, and they read almost like a spoken description:
+
+```ts
+// "the Login heading"
+await browser.getByRole('heading', { name: 'Login' }).expect().toBeVisible();
+
+// "the Username / Password fields", found through their <label>
+await browser.getByLabel('Username').fill('alice');
+await browser.getByLabel('Password').fill('secret');
+
+// "the Sign in button", by role + accessible name
+await browser.getByRole('button', { name: 'Sign in' }).click();
+
+// "the welcome message", by its visible text
+await browser.getByText('Welcome back, alice!').expect().toBeVisible();
+```
+
+The match is meaningful, not just readable: if your test can find the button by
+its role and name, the page is exposing the semantics users depend on. These
+locators also shrug off markup refactors, since they don't care how many `<div>`s
+wrap the element.
+
+Pitfalls worth knowing:
+
+- **They rely on correct semantic HTML.** `getByRole('button')` finds a real
+  `<button>`, not a `<div onclick>`. That's often a bug worth surfacing — but it
+  means these locators expose how honest your markup is.
+- **The name is usually user-facing text**, so it's tied to the current language
+  — see the next section.
+- **Name matching is an approximation.** CraftDriver handles the common cases
+  (`aria-label`, simple `aria-labelledby`, visible text, form labels, `alt`,
+  `title`), but if a role query is fussy, use `getByLabel`, `getByTestId`, or a
+  stable attribute instead of guessing.
+
+## Working across languages
+
+Here's the catch these accessibility locators carry: the *name* you match on is
+translated text. `getByLabel('Username')` finds nothing on a page that renders
+`Benutzername`. Two honest ways to handle it:
+
+- **Anchor on the language-neutral attributes from the top of this page** —
+  `name`, `type`, id, test id. The same test then runs in every locale unchanged.
+  It's the simplest thing that works, and where most localised suites end up.
+- **Feed the locator from the same translations the app uses** —
+  `getByRole('button', { name: t('auth.signIn') })`. You keep the accessibility
+  benefits *and* run per-locale. The cost is discipline: the test has to read the
+  exact key the UI renders, and you run it once per language — otherwise a
+  translation change quietly becomes a false failure.
+
+A rule that applies either way: **a bare string is always a CSS selector**. To
+match by text or role you must use a `getBy*` method or a `By.*` locator; there's
+no `text=` string shorthand.
+
+## Notes
+
+- Names match the **whole** text by default. Pass `{ exact: false }` to match a
+  substring, e.g. `getByText('Welcome back', { exact: false })`.
+- To search *inside* one card or row instead of the whole page, chain from a
+  [locator](../selectors.md#locators-lazy--chainable):
+  `card.getByRole('button', { name: 'Buy' })`.
