page.locator(selector).click(options) accepts a LocatorClickOptions object: ClickOptions & ActionOptions. The click-related options cover click count and timing, click position, and experimental highlighting; signal lets you abort the locator action. Locator readiness checks and timeouts are configured on the locator itself, not as fields in the click options object.
What options does Puppeteer locator click accept?
The type relationship is the quickest way to see what belongs in the argument:
LocatorClickOptions = ClickOptions & ActionOptions
ClickOptions extends MouseClickOptionsThat means a locator click can use the inherited mouse options, the extra click options, and the action cancellation option in one object.
| Option | What it does | Notes |
|---|---|---|
count |
Number of clicks to perform. | Optional; defaults to 1. |
delay |
Delay in milliseconds between mouse press and release. | Optional; controls press duration, not a wait before the click. |
offset |
Sets the click point relative to the top-left corner of the element’s border box. | Optional; use when the center point is not the target you need. |
debugHighlight |
Inserts a highlight at the click location for 10 seconds. | Experimental; may not work on every page and does not persist across navigations. |
signal |
Accepts an AbortSignal to abort the locator action. |
Part of ActionOptions, not mouse behavior. |
The official references used here cover Puppeteer documentation versions 25.9.0 through 25.12.0. These APIs are versioned, so check the documentation and TypeScript definitions matching the Puppeteer version installed in your project if an option is missing or typed differently: LocatorClickOptions, ClickOptions, MouseClickOptions, and ActionOptions.

- 12-Month Warranty: Backed by a 12-month manufacturer warranty for peace of mind. Designed to meet strict quality control standards for reliable everyday performance.
How to double-click or control click timing
Set count to perform multiple clicks. Set delay to control how long the mouse remains pressed before release; its unit is milliseconds.
await page.locator('button').click({ count: 2, delay: 100 });This asks Puppeteer to perform two clicks, with a 100-millisecond press-to-release delay for each click. Omit either property to use its default behavior; count defaults to one.
How to choose a click position with offset
offset specifies a point within the element, measured from the top-left of its border box. It is useful when the center is not the intended target, such as clicking a particular area of a larger control.

await page.locator('.canvas').click({ offset: { x: 20, y: 30 } });Here, the click point is 20 units right and 30 units down from that top-left corner. The offset is relative to the selected element, not the page or viewport. Confirm that the point you choose corresponds to the interactive area you intend to click.

What debugHighlight does—and its limits
debugHighlight is an experimental debugging aid. It inserts an element to highlight the click location for 10 seconds. Puppeteer’s documentation cautions that it may not work on all pages and that the highlight does not persist through navigation, so do not rely on it as production behavior or as an assertion that a click succeeded.
How to abort a locator click
Pass an AbortSignal as signal in the same options object. Aborting cancels the locator action; it is separate from click count, timing, or position.

const controller = new AbortController();
const clickPromise = page.locator('button').click({
signal: controller.signal,
});
// When your application decides to cancel the action:
controller.abort();
await clickPromise;If the signal is aborted, handle the resulting rejected action in the same way you handle other cancellation or locator failures in your application. The ActionOptions reference documents the signal property.
Readiness and timeout are locator settings, not click options
A locator click is not just a raw mouse command. Puppeteer documents locator interactions as waiting for the element to be in the viewport, visible, enabled, and stable across two consecutive animation frames. If an action fails because the element is not ready, the locator operation is retried. These behaviors are not fields on click(options).
To deliberately change readiness behavior, configure the locator with methods such as setEnsureElementIsInTheViewport(false), setVisibility(null), setWaitForEnabled(false), or setWaitForStableBoundingBox(false). These disable or alter checks that normally help ensure the click can proceed; they are not ordinary click arguments. See Puppeteer’s page interactions guide and Locator API.

Set a locator action timeout with setTimeout(timeout), which returns a cloned locator with that total timeout:
const saveButton = page.locator('button.save').setTimeout(5000);
await saveButton.click();The documented default comes from Page.getDefaultTimeout(); passing 0 disables the timeout. Do not pass { timeout: 5000 } to click() expecting it to configure the locator timeout.
Locator.click and Page.click are different APIs
Locator.click(options?) accepts optional readonly LocatorClickOptions and returns Promise<void>. Page.click(selector, options?) is a separate selector-based method whose options are ClickOptions, not the locator-specific intersection with ActionOptions.

| Behavior | Locator.click |
Page.click |
|---|---|---|
| Options type | LocatorClickOptions (ClickOptions & ActionOptions). |
ClickOptions. |
| Element handling documented | Waits for locator readiness conditions and retries when the action fails because the element is not ready. | Scrolls the selector’s element into view if needed, then clicks its center. |
| Multiple matches | Locator action behavior is defined by the locator and its matching element. | Clicks the first matching element. |
| Navigation waits | Use the locator interaction with the relevant navigation handling for your flow. | A separate navigation wait can race with the click; start both together with Promise.all. |
For a Page.click that triggers navigation, the documented pattern starts the navigation wait and click concurrently:
await Promise.all([
page.waitForNavigation(),
page.click('a.next'),
]);Do not assume signal is accepted by Page.click simply because it is accepted by locator clicks: check the method’s own signature. See the Page.click API reference and Locator.click API reference.
Common mistakes and fixes
- Passing
timeouttoclick(): set the total locator timeout withlocator.setTimeout(timeout)instead. - Using
delayas a pre-click wait: it is the interval between mouse press and release. For readiness or waiting behavior, use locator configuration or an appropriate explicit wait. - Assuming
Page.clickandLocator.clickaccept identical options: their option types differ; consult the signature of the method you call. - Expecting
debugHighlightto work on every page or survive navigation: it is experimental, temporary, and not guaranteed to work everywhere. - Clicking the wrong part of a control: specify an
offsetrelative to the element’s border box, then check that the chosen point is inside the intended target. - Seeing a click fail while the target is changing: locators wait for readiness and may retry; inspect the selector and whether the element becomes visible, enabled, and stable. If you change the readiness checks, do so deliberately.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does Puppeteer locator click wait for an element to be visible?
Yes. Locator interactions wait for visibility as part of their documented readiness checks; they also check viewport position, enabled state, and bounding-box stability.
Can I pass an AbortSignal to Page.click?
Do not infer that from Locator.click. Page.click has a different options type; verify the signature for the Puppeteer version you use.
