I'm trying to automate retrieving form values from an already filled out form with puppeteer and xpath.
I've already automated FILLING a text input field as follows, but doing the reverse with .evaluate() doesn't work:
[fieldHandle] = await page.$x("//label[text() = 'My Label']/../following-sibling::td[1]//input")
await page.evaluate((x, y) => x.value = y, fieldHandle, 'newValue')
This is my most recent attempt - still no success...
let [fieldHandle] = await page.$x("//label[text() = 'My Label']/../following-sibling::td[1]//input")
let fieldRaw = await fieldHandle.getProperty('textContent')
let fieldValue = await fieldRaw.jsonValue()
Hopefully someone out there knows how to achieve this!

You can enter anything in the input box and click on the button. It will show an alert with the text that is entered in the input box. We can also use hooks to do the same.
After supplying the TextEditingController to the text field, begin reading values. Use the text () method provided by the TextEditingController to retrieve the String that the user has entered into the text field. The following code displays an alert dialog with the current value of the text field when the user taps a floating action button.
Using evaluate should work:
console.log(await page.evaluate(x => x.value, fieldHandle)));
