## Version 1.40

<LiteYouTube
  id="mn892dV81_8"
  title="Playwright 1.40"
/>

### Test Generator Update

![Playwright Test Generator](https://github.com/microsoft/playwright/assets/9881434/e8d67e2e-f36d-4301-8631-023948d3e190)

New tools to generate assertions:
- "Assert visibility" tool generates [`method: LocatorAssertions.toBeVisible`].
- "Assert value" tool generates [`method: LocatorAssertions.toHaveValue`].
- "Assert text" tool generates [`method: LocatorAssertions.toContainText`].

Here is an example of a generated test with assertions:

```js
import { test, expect } from '@playwright/test';

test('test', async ({ page }) => {
  await page.goto('https://playwright.dev/');
  await page.getByRole('link', { name: 'Get started' }).click();
  await expect(page.getByLabel('Breadcrumbs').getByRole('list')).toContainText('Installation');
  await expect(page.getByLabel('Search')).toBeVisible();
  await page.getByLabel('Search').click();
  await page.getByPlaceholder('Search docs').fill('locator');
  await expect(page.getByPlaceholder('Search docs')).toHaveValue('locator');
});
```

### New APIs

- Option [`option: reason`] in [`method: Page.close`], [`method: BrowserContext.close`] and [`method: Browser.close`]. Close reason is reported for all operations interrupted by the closure.
- Option [`option: firefoxUserPrefs`] in [`method: BrowserType.launchPersistentContext`].

### Other Changes

- Methods [`method: Download.path`] and [`method: Download.createReadStream`] throw an error for failed and cancelled downloads.
- Playwright [docker image](./docker.md) now comes with Node.js v20.

### Browser Versions

* Chromium 120.0.6099.28
* Mozilla Firefox 119.0
* WebKit 17.4

This version was also tested against the following stable channels:

* Google Chrome 119
* Microsoft Edge 119

## Version 1.39

<LiteYouTube
  id="KqVuRAlOkm0"
  title="Playwright 1.39"
/>

### Add custom matchers to your expect

You can extend Playwright assertions by providing custom matchers. These matchers will be available on the expect object.

```js title="test.spec.ts"
import { expect as baseExpect } from '@playwright/test';
export const expect = baseExpect.extend({
  async toHaveAmount(locator: Locator, expected: number, options?: { timeout?: number }) {
    // ... see documentation for how to write matchers.
  },
});

test('pass', async ({ page }) => {
  await expect(page.getByTestId('cart')).toHaveAmount(5);
});
```

See the documentation [for a full example](./test-assertions.md#add-custom-matchers-using-expectextend).

### Merge test fixtures

You can now merge test fixtures from multiple files or modules:

```js title="fixtures.ts"
import { mergeTests } from '@playwright/test';
import { test as dbTest } from 'database-test-utils';
import { test as a11yTest } from 'a11y-test-utils';

export const test = mergeTests(dbTest, a11yTest);
```

```js title="test.spec.ts"
import { test } from './fixtures';

test('passes', async ({ database, page, a11y }) => {
  // use database and a11y fixtures.
});
```

### Merge custom expect matchers

You can now merge custom expect matchers from multiple files or modules:

```js title="fixtures.ts"
import { mergeTests, mergeExpects } from '@playwright/test';
import { test as dbTest, expect as dbExpect } from 'database-test-utils';
import { test as a11yTest, expect as a11yExpect } from 'a11y-test-utils';

export const test = mergeTests(dbTest, a11yTest);
export const expect = mergeExpects(dbExpect, a11yExpect);
```

```js title="test.spec.ts"
import { test, expect } from './fixtures';

test('passes', async ({ page, database }) => {
  await expect(database).toHaveDatabaseUser('admin');
  await expect(page).toPassA11yAudit();
});
```

### Hide implementation details: box test steps

You can mark a [`method: Test.step`] as "boxed" so that errors inside it point to the step call site.

```js
async function login(page) {
  await test.step('login', async () => {
    // ...
  }, { box: true });  // Note the "box" option here.
}
```

```txt
Error: Timed out 5000ms waiting for expect(locator).toBeVisible()
  ... error details omitted ...

  14 |   await page.goto('https://github.com/login');
> 15 |   await login(page);
     |         ^
  16 | });
```

See [`method: Test.step`] documentation for a full example.

### New APIs

- [`method: LocatorAssertions.toHaveAttribute#2`]

### Browser Versions

* Chromium 119.0.6045.9
* Mozilla Firefox 118.0.1
* WebKit 17.4

This version was also tested against the following stable channels:

* Google Chrome 118
* Microsoft Edge 118

## Version 1.38

<LiteYouTube
  id="YGJTeXaZDTM"
  title="Playwright 1.38"
/>

### UI Mode Updates

![Playwright UI Mode](https://github.com/microsoft/playwright/assets/746130/8ba27be0-58fd-4f62-8561-950480610369)

1. Zoom into time range.
1. Network panel redesign.

### New APIs

- [`event: BrowserContext.webError`]
- [`method: Locator.pressSequentially`]
- The [`method: Reporter.onEnd`] now reports `startTime` and total run `duration`.

### Deprecations

* The following methods were deprecated: [`method: Page.type`], [`method: Frame.type`],
  [`method: Locator.type`] and [`method: ElementHandle.type`].
  Please use [`method: Locator.fill`] instead which is much faster. Use
  [`method: Locator.pressSequentially`] only if there is a special keyboard
  handling on the page, and you need to press keys one-by-one.

### Breaking Changes: Playwright no longer downloads browsers automatically

> **Note**: If you are using `@playwright/test` package, this change does not affect you.

Playwright recommends to use `@playwright/test` package and download browsers via `npx playwright install` command. If you are following this recommendation, nothing has changed for you.

However, up to v1.38, installing the `playwright` package instead of `@playwright/test` did automatically download browsers. This is no longer the case, and we recommend to explicitly download browsers via `npx playwright install` command.

**v1.37 and earlier**

`playwright` package was downloading browsers during `npm install`, while `@playwright/test` was not.

**v1.38 and later**

`playwright` and `@playwright/test` packages do not download browsers during `npm install`.

**Recommended migration**

Run `npx playwright install` to download browsers after `npm install`. For example, in your CI configuration:

```yml
- run: npm ci
- run: npx playwright install --with-deps
```

**Alternative migration option - not recommended**

Add `@playwright/browser-chromium`, `@playwright/browser-firefox` and `@playwright/browser-webkit` as a dependency. These packages download respective browsers during `npm install`. Make sure you keep the version of all playwright packages in sync:

```json
// package.json
{
  "devDependencies": {
    "playwright": "1.38.0",
    "@playwright/browser-chromium": "1.38.0",
    "@playwright/browser-firefox": "1.38.0",
    "@playwright/browser-webkit": "1.38.0"
  }
}
```

### Browser Versions

* Chromium 117.0.5938.62
* Mozilla Firefox 117.0
* WebKit 17.0

This version was also tested against the following stable channels:

* Google Chrome 116
* Microsoft Edge 116

## Version 1.37

<LiteYouTube
  id="cEd4SH_Xf5U"
  title="Playwright 1.36 & 1.37"
/>

### New `npx playwright merge-reports` tool

If you run tests on multiple shards, you can now merge all reports in a single HTML report (or any other report)
using the new `merge-reports` CLI tool.

Using `merge-reports` tool requires the following steps:

1. Adding a new "blob" reporter to the config when running on CI:

  ```js title="playwright.config.ts"
  export default defineConfig({
    testDir: './tests',
    reporter: process.env.CI ? 'blob' : 'html',
  });
  ```

  The "blob" reporter will produce ".zip" files that contain all the information
  about the test run.

2. Copying all "blob" reports in a single shared location and running `npx playwright merge-reports`:

  ```bash
  npx playwright merge-reports --reporter html ./all-blob-reports
  ```

  Read more in [our documentation](./test-sharding.md).

### 📚 Debian 12 Bookworm Support

Playwright now supports Debian 12 Bookworm on both x86_64 and arm64 for Chromium, Firefox and WebKit.
Let us know if you encounter any issues!

Linux support looks like this:

|          | Ubuntu 20.04 | Ubuntu 22.04 | Debian 11 | Debian 12 |
| :--- | :---: | :---: | :---: | :---: |
| Chromium | ✅ | ✅ | ✅ | ✅ |
| WebKit | ✅ | ✅ | ✅ | ✅ |
| Firefox | ✅ | ✅ | ✅ | ✅ |

### UI Mode Updates

- UI Mode now respects project dependencies. You can control which dependencies to respect by checking/unchecking them in a projects list.
- Console logs from the test are now displayed in the Console tab.

### Browser Versions

* Chromium 116.0.5845.82
* Mozilla Firefox 115.0
* WebKit 17.0

This version was also tested against the following stable channels:

* Google Chrome 115
* Microsoft Edge 115

## Version 1.36

🏝️ Summer maintenance release.

### Browser Versions

* Chromium 115.0.5790.75
* Mozilla Firefox 115.0
* WebKit 17.0

This version was also tested against the following stable channels:

* Google Chrome 114
* Microsoft Edge 114

## Version 1.35

<LiteYouTube
  id="pJiirfyJwcA"
  title="Playwright 1.35"
/>

### Highlights

* UI mode is now available in VSCode Playwright extension via a new "Show trace viewer" button:

  ![Playwright UI Mode](https://github.com/microsoft/playwright/assets/746130/13094128-259b-477a-8bbb-c1181178e8a2)

* UI mode and trace viewer mark network requests handled with [`method: Page.route`] and [`method: BrowserContext.route`] handlers, as well as those issued via the [API testing](./api-testing):

  ![Trace Viewer](https://github.com/microsoft/playwright/assets/746130/0df2d4b6-faa3-465c-aff3-c435b430bfe1)

* New option `maskColor` for methods [`method: Page.screenshot`], [`method: Locator.screenshot`], [`method: PageAssertions.toHaveScreenshot#1`] and [`method: LocatorAssertions.toHaveScreenshot#1`] to change default masking color:
  ```js
  await page.goto('https://playwright.dev');
  await expect(page).toHaveScreenshot({
    mask: [page.locator('img')],
    maskColor: '#00FF00', // green
  });
  ```

* New `uninstall` CLI command to uninstall browser binaries:
  ```bash
  $ npx playwright uninstall # remove browsers installed by this installation
  $ npx playwright uninstall --all # remove all ever-install Playwright browsers
  ```

* Both UI mode and trace viewer now could be opened in a browser tab:
  ```bash
  $ npx playwright test --ui-port 0 # open UI mode in a tab on a random port
  $ npx playwright show-trace --port 0 # open trace viewer in tab on a random port
  ```

### ⚠️ Breaking changes

* `playwright-core` binary got renamed from `playwright` to `playwright-core`. So if you use `playwright-core` CLI, make sure to update the name:
  ```bash
  $ npx playwright-core install # the new way to install browsers when using playwright-core
  ```

  This change **does not** affect `@playwright/test` and `playwright` package users.

### Browser Versions

* Chromium 115.0.5790.13
* Mozilla Firefox 113.0
* WebKit 16.4

This version was also tested against the following stable channels:

* Google Chrome 114
* Microsoft Edge 114

## Version 1.34

<LiteYouTube
  id="JeFD6rqDbBo"
  title="Playwright 1.34"
/>

### Highlights

* UI Mode now shows steps, fixtures and attachments:
  ![UI Mode attachments](https://github.com/microsoft/playwright/assets/746130/1d280419-d79a-4a56-b2dc-54d631281d56)
* New property [`property: TestProject.teardown`] to specify a project that needs to run after this
  and all dependent projects have finished. Teardown is useful to cleanup any resources acquired by this project.

  A common pattern would be a `setup` dependency with a corresponding `teardown`:
  ```js title="playwright.config.ts"
  import { defineConfig } from '@playwright/test';

  export default defineConfig({
    projects: [
      {
        name: 'setup',
        testMatch: /global.setup\.ts/,
        teardown: 'teardown',
      },
      {
        name: 'teardown',
        testMatch: /global.teardown\.ts/,
      },
      {
        name: 'chromium',
        use: devices['Desktop Chrome'],
        dependencies: ['setup'],
      },
      {
        name: 'firefox',
        use: devices['Desktop Firefox'],
        dependencies: ['setup'],
      },
      {
        name: 'webkit',
        use: devices['Desktop Safari'],
        dependencies: ['setup'],
      },
    ],
  });
  ```
* New method [`expect.configure`](./test-assertions.md#expectconfigure) to
  create pre-configured expect instance with its own defaults such as `timeout`
  and `soft`.

  ```js
  const slowExpect = expect.configure({ timeout: 10000 });
  await slowExpect(locator).toHaveText('Submit');

  // Always do soft assertions.
  const softExpect = expect.configure({ soft: true });
  ```

* New options `stderr` and `stdout`  in [`property: TestConfig.webServer`] to configure output handling:

  ```js title="playwright.config.ts"
  import { defineConfig } from '@playwright/test';

  export default defineConfig({
    // Run your local dev server before starting the tests
    webServer: {
      command: 'npm run start',
      url: 'http://127.0.0.1:3000',
      reuseExistingServer: !process.env.CI,
      stdout: 'pipe',
      stderr: 'pipe',
    },
  });
  ```
* New [`method: Locator.and`] to create a locator that matches both locators.

    ```js
    const button = page.getByRole('button').and(page.getByTitle('Subscribe'));
    ```

* New events [`event: BrowserContext.console`] and [`event: BrowserContext.dialog`] to subscribe to any dialogs
  and console messages from any page from the given browser context. Use the new methods [`method: ConsoleMessage.page`]
  and [`method: Dialog.page`] to pin-point event source.

### ⚠️ Breaking changes

* `npx playwright test` no longer works if you install both `playwright` and `@playwright/test`. There's no need
  to install both, since you can always import browser automation APIs from `@playwright/test` directly:

  ```js title="automation.ts"
  import { chromium, firefox, webkit } from '@playwright/test';
  /* ... */
  ```
* Node.js 14 is no longer supported since it [reached its end-of-life](https://nodejs.dev/en/about/releases/) on April 30, 2023.

### Browser Versions

* Chromium 114.0.5735.26
* Mozilla Firefox 113.0
* WebKit 16.4

This version was also tested against the following stable channels:

* Google Chrome 113
* Microsoft Edge 113

## Version 1.33

<LiteYouTube
  id="JeFD6rqDbBo"
  title="Playwright 1.33"
/>

### Locators Update

* Use [`method: Locator.or`] to create a locator that matches either of the two locators.
  Consider a scenario where you'd like to click on a "New email" button, but sometimes a security settings dialog shows up instead.
  In this case, you can wait for either a "New email" button, or a dialog and act accordingly:

    ```js
    const newEmail = page.getByRole('button', { name: 'New email' });
    const dialog = page.getByText('Confirm security settings');
    await expect(newEmail.or(dialog)).toBeVisible();
    if (await dialog.isVisible())
      await page.getByRole('button', { name: 'Dismiss' }).click();
    await newEmail.click();
    ```
* Use new options [`option: hasNot`] and [`option: hasNotText`] in [`method: Locator.filter`]
  to find elements that **do not match** certain conditions.

    ```js
    const rowLocator = page.locator('tr');
    await rowLocator
        .filter({ hasNotText: 'text in column 1' })
        .filter({ hasNot: page.getByRole('button', { name: 'column 2 button' }) })
        .screenshot();
    ```
* Use new web-first assertion [`method: LocatorAssertions.toBeAttached`] to ensure that the element
  is present in the page's DOM. Do not confuse with the [`method: LocatorAssertions.toBeVisible`] that ensures that
  element is both attached & visible.

### New APIs

- [`method: Locator.or`]
- New option [`option: hasNot`] in [`method: Locator.filter`]
- New option [`option: hasNotText`] in [`method: Locator.filter`]
- [`method: LocatorAssertions.toBeAttached`]
- New option [`option: timeout`] in [`method: Route.fetch`]
- [`method: Reporter.onExit`]

### ⚠️ Breaking change

* The `mcr.microsoft.com/playwright:v1.33.0` now serves a Playwright image based on Ubuntu Jammy.
  To use the focal-based image, please use `mcr.microsoft.com/playwright:v1.33.0-focal` instead.

### Browser Versions

* Chromium 113.0.5672.53
* Mozilla Firefox 112.0
* WebKit 16.4

This version was also tested against the following stable channels:

* Google Chrome 112
* Microsoft Edge 112

## Version 1.32

<LiteYouTube
  id="jF0yA-JLQW0"
  title="Playwright 1.32"
/>

### Introducing UI Mode (preview)

New [UI Mode](./test-ui-mode.md) lets you explore, run and debug tests. Comes with a built-in watch mode.

![Playwright UI Mode](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/746130/227004851-3901a691-4f8e-43d6-8d6b-cbfeafaeb999.png)

Engage with a new flag `--ui`:

```sh
npx playwright test --ui
```

### New APIs

- New options [`option: updateMode`] and [`option: updateContent`] in [`method: Page.routeFromHAR`] and [`method: BrowserContext.routeFromHAR`].
- Chaining existing locator objects, see [locator docs](./locators.md#matching-inside-a-locator) for details.
- New property [`property: TestInfo.testId`].
- New option [`option: name`] in method [`method: Tracing.startChunk`].


### ⚠️ Breaking change in component tests

Note: **component tests only**, does not affect end-to-end tests.

* `@playwright/experimental-ct-react` now supports **React 18 only**.
* If you're running component tests with React 16 or 17, please replace
  `@playwright/experimental-ct-react` with `@playwright/experimental-ct-react17`.

### Browser Versions

* Chromium 112.0.5615.29
* Mozilla Firefox 111.0
* WebKit 16.4

This version was also tested against the following stable channels:

* Google Chrome 111
* Microsoft Edge 111

## Version 1.31

<LiteYouTube
  id="PI50YAPTAs4"
  title="Playwright 1.31"
/>

### New APIs

- New property [`property: TestProject.dependencies`] to configure dependencies between projects.

  Using dependencies allows global setup to produce traces and other artifacts,
  see the setup steps in the test report and more.

  ```js title="playwright.config.ts"
  import { defineConfig } from '@playwright/test';

  export default defineConfig({
    projects: [
      {
        name: 'setup',
        testMatch: /global.setup\.ts/,
      },
      {
        name: 'chromium',
        use: devices['Desktop Chrome'],
        dependencies: ['setup'],
      },
      {
        name: 'firefox',
        use: devices['Desktop Firefox'],
        dependencies: ['setup'],
      },
      {
        name: 'webkit',
        use: devices['Desktop Safari'],
        dependencies: ['setup'],
      },
    ],
  });
  ```

- New assertion [`method: LocatorAssertions.toBeInViewport`] ensures that locator points to an element that intersects viewport, according to the [intersection observer API](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Intersection_Observer_API).

  ```js
  const button = page.getByRole('button');

  // Make sure at least some part of element intersects viewport.
  await expect(button).toBeInViewport();

  // Make sure element is fully outside of viewport.
  await expect(button).not.toBeInViewport();

  // Make sure that at least half of the element intersects viewport.
  await expect(button).toBeInViewport({ ratio: 0.5 });
  ```


### Miscellaneous

- DOM snapshots in trace viewer can be now opened in a separate window.
- New method `defineConfig` to be used in `playwright.config`.
- New option [`option: Route.fetch.maxRedirects`] for method [`method: Route.fetch`].
- Playwright now supports Debian 11 arm64.
- Official [docker images](./docker.md) now include Node 18 instead of Node 16.


### ⚠️ Breaking change in component tests

Note: **component tests only**, does not affect end-to-end tests.

`playwright-ct.config` configuration file for [component testing](./test-components.md) now requires calling `defineConfig`.

```js
// Before

import { type PlaywrightTestConfig, devices } from '@playwright/experimental-ct-react';
const config: PlaywrightTestConfig = {
  // ... config goes here ...
};
export default config;
```

Replace `config` variable definition with `defineConfig` call:

```js
// After

import { defineConfig, devices } from '@playwright/experimental-ct-react';
export default defineConfig({
  // ... config goes here ...
});
```

## Version 1.29

<LiteYouTube
  id="VbVlz61VtNo"
  title="Playwright 1.29"
/>

### New APIs

- New method [`method: Route.fetch`] and new option `json` for [`method: Route.fulfill`]:

    ```js
    await page.route('**/api/settings', async route => {
      // Fetch original settings.
      const response = await route.fetch();

      // Force settings theme to a predefined value.
      const json = await response.json();
      json.theme = 'Solorized';

      // Fulfill with modified data.
      await route.fulfill({ json });
    });
    ```

- New method [`method: Locator.all`] to iterate over all matching elements:

    ```js
    // Check all checkboxes!
    const checkboxes = page.getByRole('checkbox');
    for (const checkbox of await checkboxes.all())
      await checkbox.check();
    ```

- [`method: Locator.selectOption`] matches now by value or label:

  ```html
  <select multiple>
    <option value="red">Red</div>
    <option value="green">Green</div>
    <option value="blue">Blue</div>
  </select>
  ```

  ```js
  await element.selectOption('Red');
  ```

- Retry blocks of code until all assertions pass:

    ```js
    await expect(async () => {
      const response = await page.request.get('https://api.example.com');
      await expect(response).toBeOK();
    }).toPass();
    ```

  Read more in [our documentation](./test-assertions.md#expecttopass).

- Automatically capture **full page screenshot** on test failure:
    ```js title="playwright.config.ts"
    import { defineConfig } from '@playwright/test';
    export default defineConfig({
      use: {
        screenshot: {
          mode: 'only-on-failure',
          fullPage: true,
        }
      }
    });
    ```

### Miscellaneous

- Playwright Test now respects [`jsconfig.json`](https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/languages/jsconfig).
- New options `args` and `proxy` for [`method: AndroidDevice.launchBrowser`].
- Option `postData` in method [`method: Route.continue`] now supports [Serializable] values.

### Test Runner

* Configure retries and test timeout for a file or a test with [`method: Test.describe.configure`].

    ```js
    // Each test in the file will be retried twice and have a timeout of 20 seconds.
    test.describe.configure({ retries: 2, timeout: 20_000 });
    test('runs first', async ({ page }) => {});
    test('runs second', async ({ page }) => {});
    ```

* Use [`property: TestProject.snapshotPathTemplate`] and [`property: TestConfig.snapshotPathTemplate`] to configure a template controlling location of snapshots generated by [`method: PageAssertions.toHaveScreenshot#1`] and [`method: SnapshotAssertions.toMatchSnapshot#1`].

    ```js title="playwright.config.ts"
    import { defineConfig } from '@playwright/test';
    export default defineConfig({
      testDir: './tests',
      snapshotPathTemplate: '{testDir}/__screenshots__/{testFilePath}/{arg}{ext}',
    });
    ```

### New APIs

- [`method: Locator.blur`]
- [`method: Locator.clear`]
- [`method: Android.launchServer`] and  [`method: Android.connect`]
- [`event: AndroidDevice.close`]

### Browser Versions

* Chromium 108.0.5359.29
* Mozilla Firefox 106.0
* WebKit 16.4

This version was also tested against the following stable channels:

* Google Chrome 107
* Microsoft Edge 107


## Version 1.27

<LiteYouTube
  id="b84eqab3kwc"
  title="Playwright 1.27"
/>


### Locators

With these new APIs writing locators is a joy:
- [`method: Page.getByText`] to locate by text content.
- [`method: Page.getByRole`] to locate by [ARIA role](https://www.w3.org/TR/wai-aria-1.2/#roles), [ARIA attributes](https://www.w3.org/TR/wai-aria-1.2/#aria-attributes) and [accessible name](https://w3c.github.io/accname/#dfn-accessible-name).
- [`method: Page.getByLabel`] to locate a form control by associated label's text.
- [`method: Page.getByTestId`] to locate an element based on its `data-testid` attribute (other attribute can be configured).
- [`method: Page.getByPlaceholder`] to locate an input by placeholder.
- [`method: Page.getByAltText`] to locate an element, usually image, by its text alternative.
- [`method: Page.getByTitle`] to locate an element by its title.

```js
await page.getByLabel('User Name').fill('John');

await page.getByLabel('Password').fill('secret-password');

await page.getByRole('button', { name: 'Sign in' }).click();

await expect(page.getByText('Welcome, John!')).toBeVisible();
```

All the same methods are also available on [Locator], [FrameLocator] and [Frame] classes.

### Other highlights

- `workers` option in the `playwright.config.ts` now accepts a percentage string to use some of the available CPUs. You can also pass it in the command line:
  ```bash
  npx playwright test --workers=20%
  ```

- New options `host` and `port` for the html reporter.
  ```js
  import { defineConfig } from '@playwright/test';

  export default defineConfig({
    reporter: [['html', { host: 'localhost', port: '9223' }]],
  });
  ```

- New field `FullConfig.configFile` is available to test reporters, specifying the path to the config file if any.

- As announced in v1.25, Ubuntu 18 will not be supported as of Dec 2022. In addition to that, there will be no WebKit updates on Ubuntu 18 starting from the next Playwright release.

### Behavior Changes

- [`method: LocatorAssertions.toHaveAttribute`] with an empty value does not match missing attribute anymore. For example, the following snippet will succeed when `button` **does not** have a `disabled` attribute.

   ```js
   await expect(page.getByRole('button')).toHaveAttribute('disabled', '');
   ```

- Command line options `--grep` and `--grep-invert` previously incorrectly ignored `grep` and `grepInvert` options specified in the config. Now all of them are applied together.

### Browser Versions

* Chromium 107.0.5304.18
* Mozilla Firefox 105.0.1
* WebKit 16.0

This version was also tested against the following stable channels:

* Google Chrome 106
* Microsoft Edge 106


## Version 1.26

<LiteYouTube
  id="b84eqab3kwc"
  title="Playwright 1.26"
/>

### Assertions

- New option `enabled` for [`method: LocatorAssertions.toBeEnabled`].
- [`method: LocatorAssertions.toHaveText`] now pierces open shadow roots.
- New option `editable` for [`method: LocatorAssertions.toBeEditable`].
- New option `visible` for [`method: LocatorAssertions.toBeVisible`].

### Other highlights

- New option `maxRedirects` for [`method: APIRequestContext.get`] and others to limit redirect count.
- New command-line flag `--pass-with-no-tests` that allows the test suite to pass when no files are found.
- New command-line flag `--ignore-snapshots` to skip snapshot expectations, such as `expect(value).toMatchSnapshot()` and `expect(page).toHaveScreenshot()`.

### Behavior Change

A bunch of Playwright APIs already support the `waitUntil: 'domcontentloaded'` option.
For example:

```js
await page.goto('https://playwright.dev', {
  waitUntil: 'domcontentloaded',
});
```

Prior to 1.26, this would wait for all iframes to fire the `DOMContentLoaded`
event.

To align with web specification, the `'domcontentloaded'` value only waits for
the target frame to fire the `'DOMContentLoaded'` event. Use `waitUntil: 'load'` to wait for all iframes.

### Browser Versions

* Chromium 106.0.5249.30
* Mozilla Firefox 104.0
* WebKit 16.0

This version was also tested against the following stable channels:

* Google Chrome 105
* Microsoft Edge 105

## Version 1.25

<LiteYouTube
  id="NFLHA57a-so"
  title="Playwright 1.25"
/>

### VSCode Extension

* Watch your tests running live & keep devtools open.
* Pick selector.
* Record new test from current page state.

![vscode extension screenshot](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/746130/183781999-1b9fdbc5-cfae-47d6-b4f7-5d4ae89716a8.jpg)

### Test Runner

* [`method: Test.step`] now returns the value of the step function:

    ```ts
    test('should work', async ({ page }) => {
      const pageTitle = await test.step('get title', async () => {
        await page.goto('https://playwright.dev');
        return await page.title();
      });
      console.log(pageTitle);
    });
    ```

* Added [`method: Test.describe.fixme`].
* New `'interrupted'` test status.
* Enable tracing via CLI flag: `npx playwright test --trace=on`.

### Announcements

* 🎁 We now ship Ubuntu 22.04 Jammy Jellyfish docker image: `mcr.microsoft.com/playwright:v1.34.0-jammy`.
* 🪦 This is the last release with macOS 10.15 support (deprecated as of 1.21).
* 🪦 This is the last release with Node.js 12 support, we recommend upgrading to Node.js LTS (16).
* ⚠️ Ubuntu 18 is now deprecated and will not be supported as of Dec 2022.

### Browser Versions

* Chromium 105.0.5195.19
* Mozilla Firefox 103.0
* WebKit 16.0

This version was also tested against the following stable channels:

* Google Chrome 104
* Microsoft Edge 104


## Version 1.24

<LiteYouTube
  id="9F05o1shxcY"
  title="Playwright 1.24"
/>

### 🌍 Multiple Web Servers in `playwright.config.ts`

Launch multiple web servers, databases, or other processes by passing an array of configurations:

```ts title="playwright.config.ts"
import { defineConfig } from '@playwright/test';
export default defineConfig({
  webServer: [
    {
      command: 'npm run start',
      url: 'http://127.0.0.1:3000',
      timeout: 120 * 1000,
      reuseExistingServer: !process.env.CI,
    },
    {
      command: 'npm run backend',
      url: 'http://127.0.0.1:3333',
      timeout: 120 * 1000,
      reuseExistingServer: !process.env.CI,
    }
  ],
  use: {
    baseURL: 'http://localhost:3000/',
  },
});
```

### 🐂 Debian 11 Bullseye Support

Playwright now supports Debian 11 Bullseye on x86_64 for Chromium, Firefox and WebKit. Let us know
if you encounter any issues!

Linux support looks like this:

|          | Ubuntu 20.04 | Ubuntu 22.04 | Debian 11
| :--- | :---: | :---: | :---: | :---: |
| Chromium | ✅ | ✅ | ✅ |
| WebKit | ✅ | ✅ | ✅ |
| Firefox | ✅ | ✅ | ✅ |

### 🕵️ Anonymous Describe

It is now possible to call [`method: Test.describe#2`] to create suites without a title. This is useful for giving a group of tests a common option with [`method: Test.use`].

```ts
test.describe(() => {
  test.use({ colorScheme: 'dark' });

  test('one', async ({ page }) => {
    // ...
  });

  test('two', async ({ page }) => {
    // ...
  });
});
```

### 🧩 Component Tests Update

Playwright 1.24 Component Tests introduce `beforeMount` and `afterMount` hooks.
Use these to configure your app for tests.

For example, this could be used to setup App router in Vue.js:

```js title="src/component.spec.ts"
import { test } from '@playwright/experimental-ct-vue';
import { Component } from './mycomponent';

test('should work', async ({ mount }) => {
  const component = await mount(Component, {
    hooksConfig: {
      /* anything to configure your app */
    }
  });
});
```

```js title="playwright/index.ts"
import { router } from '../router';
import { beforeMount } from '@playwright/experimental-ct-vue/hooks';

beforeMount(async ({ app, hooksConfig }) => {
  app.use(router);
});
```

A similar configuration in Next.js would look like this:

```js title="src/component.spec.jsx"
import { test } from '@playwright/experimental-ct-react';
import { Component } from './mycomponent';

test('should work', async ({ mount }) => {
  const component = await mount(<Component></Component>, {
    // Pass mock value from test into `beforeMount`.
    hooksConfig: {
      router: {
        query: { page: 1, per_page: 10 },
        asPath: '/posts'
      }
    }
  });
});
```

```js title="playwright/index.js"
import router from 'next/router';
import { beforeMount } from '@playwright/experimental-ct-react/hooks';

beforeMount(async ({ hooksConfig }) => {
  // Before mount, redefine useRouter to return mock value from test.
  router.useRouter = () => hooksConfig.router;
});
```

## Version 1.23

<LiteYouTube
  id="NRGOV46P3kU"
  title="Playwright 1.23"
/>

### Network Replay

Now you can record network traffic into a HAR file and re-use this traffic in your tests.

To record network into HAR file:

```bash
npx playwright open --save-har=github.har.zip https://github.com/microsoft
```

Alternatively, you can record HAR programmatically:

```ts
const context = await browser.newContext({
  recordHar: { path: 'github.har.zip' }
});
// ... do stuff ...
await context.close();
```

Use the new methods [`method: Page.routeFromHAR`] or [`method: BrowserContext.routeFromHAR`] to serve matching responses from the [HAR](http://www.softwareishard.com/blog/har-12-spec/) file:


```ts
await context.routeFromHAR('github.har.zip');
```

Read more in [our documentation](./mock.md#mocking-with-har-files).


### Advanced Routing

You can now use [`method: Route.fallback`] to defer routing to other handlers.

Consider the following example:

```ts
// Remove a header from all requests.
test.beforeEach(async ({ page }) => {
  await page.route('**/*', async route => {
    const headers = await route.request().allHeaders();
    delete headers['if-none-match'];
    route.fallback({ headers });
  });
});

test('should work', async ({ page }) => {
  await page.route('**/*', route => {
    if (route.request().resourceType() === 'image')
      route.abort();
    else
      route.fallback();
  });
});
```

Note that the new methods [`method: Page.routeFromHAR`] and [`method: BrowserContext.routeFromHAR`] also participate in routing and could be deferred to.

### Web-First Assertions Update

* New method [`method: LocatorAssertions.toHaveValues`] that asserts all selected values of `<select multiple>` element.
* Methods [`method: LocatorAssertions.toContainText`] and [`method: LocatorAssertions.toHaveText`] now accept `ignoreCase` option.

### Component Tests Update

* Support for Vue2 via the [`@playwright/experimental-ct-vue2`](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@playwright/experimental-ct-vue2) package.
* Support for component tests for [create-react-app](https://www.npmjs.com/package/create-react-app) with components in `.js` files.

Read more about [component testing with Playwright](./test-components).

### Miscellaneous

* If there's a service worker that's in your way, you can now easily disable it with a new context option `serviceWorkers`:
  ```ts title="playwright.config.ts"
  export default {
    use: {
      serviceWorkers: 'block',
    }
  };
  ```
* Using `.zip` path for `recordHar` context option automatically zips the resulting HAR:
  ```ts
  const context = await browser.newContext({
    recordHar: {
      path: 'github.har.zip',
    }
  });
  ```
* If you intend to edit HAR by hand, consider using the `"minimal"` HAR recording mode
  that only records information that is essential for replaying:
  ```ts
  const context = await browser.newContext({
    recordHar: {
      path: 'github.har',
      mode: 'minimal',
    }
  });
  ```
* Playwright now runs on Ubuntu 22 amd64 and Ubuntu 22 arm64. We also publish new docker image `mcr.microsoft.com/playwright:v1.34.0-jammy`.

### ⚠️ Breaking Changes ⚠️

WebServer is now considered "ready" if request to the specified url has any of the following HTTP status codes:

* `200-299`
* `300-399` (new)
* `400`, `401`, `402`, `403` (new)


## Version 1.22

<LiteYouTube
  id="keV2CIgtBlg"
  title="Playwright 1.22"
/>

### Highlights

- Components Testing (preview)

  Playwright Test can now test your [React](https://reactjs.org/),
  [Vue.js](https://vuejs.org/) or [Svelte](https://svelte.dev/) components.
  You can use all the features
  of Playwright Test (such as parallelization, emulation & debugging) while running components
  in real browsers.

  Here is what a typical component test looks like:

  ```ts title="App.spec.tsx"
  import { test, expect } from '@playwright/experimental-ct-react';
  import App from './App';

  // Let's test component in a dark scheme!
  test.use({ colorScheme: 'dark' });

  test('should render', async ({ mount }) => {
    const component = await mount(<App></App>);

    // As with any Playwright test, assert locator text.
    await expect(component).toContainText('React');
    // Or do a screenshot 🚀
    await expect(component).toHaveScreenshot();
    // Or use any Playwright method
    await component.click();
  });
  ```

  Read more in [our documentation](./test-components).

- Role selectors that allow selecting elements by their [ARIA role](https://www.w3.org/TR/wai-aria-1.2/#roles), [ARIA attributes](https://www.w3.org/TR/wai-aria-1.2/#aria-attributes) and [accessible name](https://w3c.github.io/accname/#dfn-accessible-name).

  ```js
  // Click a button with accessible name "log in"
  await page.locator('role=button[name="log in"]').click();
  ```

  Read more in [our documentation](./locators.md#locate-by-role).

- New [`method: Locator.filter`] API to filter an existing locator

  ```js
  const buttons = page.locator('role=button');
  // ...
  const submitButton = buttons.filter({ hasText: 'Submit' });
  await submitButton.click();
  ```

- New web-first assertions [`method: PageAssertions.toHaveScreenshot#1`] and [`method: LocatorAssertions.toHaveScreenshot#1`] that
  wait for screenshot stabilization and enhances test reliability.

  The new assertions has screenshot-specific defaults, such as:
  * disables animations
  * uses CSS scale option

  ```js
  await page.goto('https://playwright.dev');
  await expect(page).toHaveScreenshot();
  ```

  The new [`method: PageAssertions.toHaveScreenshot#1`] saves screenshots at the same
  location as [`method: SnapshotAssertions.toMatchSnapshot#1`].


## Version 1.21

<LiteYouTube
  id="45HZdbmgEw8"
  title="Playwright 1.21"
/>

### Highlights

- New role selectors that allow selecting elements by their [ARIA role](https://www.w3.org/TR/wai-aria-1.2/#roles), [ARIA attributes](https://www.w3.org/TR/wai-aria-1.2/#aria-attributes) and [accessible name](https://w3c.github.io/accname/#dfn-accessible-name).

  ```js
  // Click a button with accessible name "log in"
  await page.locator('role=button[name="log in"]').click();
  ```

  Read more in [our documentation](./locators.md#locate-by-role).
- New `scale` option in [`method: Page.screenshot`] for smaller sized screenshots.
- New `caret` option in [`method: Page.screenshot`] to control text caret. Defaults to `"hide"`.

- New method `expect.poll` to wait for an arbitrary condition:

  ```js
  // Poll the method until it returns an expected result.
  await expect.poll(async () => {
    const response = await page.request.get('https://api.example.com');
    return response.status();
  }).toBe(200);
  ```

  `expect.poll` supports most synchronous matchers, like `.toBe()`, `.toContain()`, etc.
  Read more in [our documentation](./test-assertions.md#expectpoll).

### Behavior Changes

- ESM support when running TypeScript tests is now enabled by default. The `PLAYWRIGHT_EXPERIMENTAL_TS_ESM` env variable is
  no longer required.
- The `mcr.microsoft.com/playwright` docker image no longer contains Python. Please use `mcr.microsoft.com/playwright/python`
  as a Playwright-ready docker image with pre-installed Python.
- Playwright now supports large file uploads (100s of MBs) via [`method: Locator.setInputFiles`] API.

### Browser Versions

- Chromium 101.0.4951.26
- Mozilla Firefox 98.0.2
- WebKit 15.4

This version was also tested against the following stable channels:

- Google Chrome 100
- Microsoft Edge 100


## Version 1.20

<LiteYouTube
  id="6vV-XXKsrbA"
  title="Playwright 1.20"
/>

### Highlights

- New options for methods [`method: Page.screenshot`], [`method: Locator.screenshot`] and [`method: ElementHandle.screenshot`]:
  * Option `animations: "disabled"` rewinds all CSS animations and transitions to a consistent state
  * Option `mask: Locator[]` masks given elements, overlaying them with pink `#FF00FF` boxes.
- `expect().toMatchSnapshot()` now supports anonymous snapshots: when snapshot name is missing, Playwright Test will generate one
  automatically:

  ```js
  expect('Web is Awesome <3').toMatchSnapshot();
  ```
- New `maxDiffPixels` and `maxDiffPixelRatio` options for fine-grained screenshot comparison using `expect().toMatchSnapshot()`:

  ```js
  expect(await page.screenshot()).toMatchSnapshot({
    maxDiffPixels: 27, // allow no more than 27 different pixels.
  });
  ```

  It is most convenient to specify `maxDiffPixels` or `maxDiffPixelRatio` once in [`property: TestConfig.expect`].

- Playwright Test now adds [`property: TestConfig.fullyParallel`] mode. By default, Playwright Test parallelizes between files. In fully parallel mode, tests inside a single file are also run in parallel. You can also use `--fully-parallel` command line flag.

  ```ts title="playwright.config.ts"
  export default {
    fullyParallel: true,
  };
  ```

- [`property: TestProject.grep`] and [`property: TestProject.grepInvert`] are now configurable per project. For example, you can now
  configure smoke tests project using `grep`:
  ```ts title="playwright.config.ts"
  export default {
    projects: [
      {
        name: 'smoke tests',
        grep: /@smoke/,
      },
    ],
  };
  ```

- [Trace Viewer](./trace-viewer) now shows [API testing requests](./api-testing).
- [`method: Locator.highlight`] visually reveals element(s) for easier debugging.

### Announcements

- We now ship a designated Python docker image `mcr.microsoft.com/playwright/python`. Please switch over to it if you use
  Python. This is the last release that includes Python inside our javascript `mcr.microsoft.com/playwright` docker image.
- v1.20 is the last release to receive WebKit update for macOS 10.15 Catalina. Please update MacOS to keep using latest & greatest WebKit!

### Browser Versions

- Chromium 101.0.4921.0
- Mozilla Firefox 97.0.1
- WebKit 15.4

This version was also tested against the following stable channels:

- Google Chrome 99
- Microsoft Edge 99

## Version 1.19

<LiteYouTube
  id="z0EOFvlf14U"
  title="Playwright 1.19"
/>

### Playwright Test Update

- Playwright Test v1.19 now supports *soft assertions*. Failed soft assertions
  **do not** terminate test execution, but mark the test as failed.

  ```js
  // Make a few checks that will not stop the test when failed...
  await expect.soft(page.locator('#status')).toHaveText('Success');
  await expect.soft(page.locator('#eta')).toHaveText('1 day');

  // ... and continue the test to check more things.
  await page.locator('#next-page').click();
  await expect.soft(page.locator('#title')).toHaveText('Make another order');
  ```

  Read more in [our documentation](./test-assertions#soft-assertions)

- You can now specify a **custom error message** as a second argument to the `expect` and `expect.soft` functions, for example:

  ```js
  await expect(page.locator('text=Name'), 'should be logged in').toBeVisible();
  ```

  The error would look like this:

  ```bash
      Error: should be logged in

      Call log:
        - expect.toBeVisible with timeout 5000ms
        - waiting for "getByText('Name')"


        2 |
        3 | test('example test', async({ page }) => {
      > 4 |   await expect(page.locator('text=Name'), 'should be logged in').toBeVisible();
          |                                                                  ^
        5 | });
        6 |
  ```

  Read more in [our documentation](./test-assertions#custom-expect-message)
- By default, tests in a single file are run in order. If you have many independent tests in a single file, you can now
  run them in parallel with [`method: Test.describe.configure`].

### Other Updates

- Locator now supports a `has` option that makes sure it contains another locator inside:

  ```js
  await page.locator('article', {
    has: page.locator('.highlight'),
  }).click();
  ```

  Read more in [locator documentation](./api/class-locator#locator-locator)

- New [`method: Locator.page`]
- [`method: Page.screenshot`] and [`method: Locator.screenshot`] now automatically hide blinking caret
- Playwright Codegen now generates locators and frame locators
- New option `url`  in [`property: TestConfig.webServer`] to ensure your web server is ready before running the tests
- New [`property: TestInfo.errors`] and [`property: TestResult.errors`] that contain all failed assertions and soft assertions.


### Potentially breaking change in Playwright Test Global Setup

It is unlikely that this change will affect you, no action is required if your tests keep running as they did.

We've noticed that in rare cases, the set of tests to be executed was configured in the global setup by means of the environment variables. We also noticed some applications that were post processing the reporters' output in the global teardown. If you are doing one of the two, [learn more](https://github.com/microsoft/playwright/issues/12018)

### Browser Versions

- Chromium 100.0.4863.0
- Mozilla Firefox 96.0.1
- WebKit 15.4

This version was also tested against the following stable channels:

- Google Chrome 98
- Microsoft Edge 98


## Version 1.18

<LiteYouTube
  id="ABLYpw2BN_g"
  title="Playwright 1.18"
/>

### Locator Improvements

- [`method: Locator.dragTo`]
- [`expect(locator).toBeChecked({ checked })`](./test-assertions#locator-assertions-to-be-checked)
- Each locator can now be optionally filtered by the text it contains:
    ```js
    await page.locator('li', { hasText: 'my item' }).locator('button').click();
    ```
    Read more in [locator documentation](./api/class-locator#locator-locator)


### Testing API improvements

- [`expect(response).toBeOK()`](./test-assertions)
- [`testInfo.attach()`](./api/class-testinfo#test-info-attach)
- [`test.info()`](./api/class-test#test-info)

### Improved TypeScript Support

1. Playwright Test now respects `tsconfig.json`'s [`baseUrl`](https://www.typescriptlang.org/tsconfig#baseUrl) and [`paths`](https://www.typescriptlang.org/tsconfig#paths), so you can use aliases
1. There is a new environment variable `PW_EXPERIMENTAL_TS_ESM` that allows importing ESM modules in your TS code, without the need for the compile step. Don't forget the `.js` suffix when you are importing your esm modules. Run your tests as follows:

```bash
npm i --save-dev @playwright/test@1.18.0-rc1
PW_EXPERIMENTAL_TS_ESM=1 npx playwright test
```

### Create Playwright

The `npm init playwright` command is now generally available for your use:

```sh
# Run from your project's root directory
npm init playwright@latest
# Or create a new project
npm init playwright@latest new-project
```

This will create a Playwright Test configuration file, optionally add examples, a GitHub Action workflow and a first test `example.spec.ts`.

### New APIs & changes

- new [`testCase.repeatEachIndex`](./api/class-testcase#test-case-repeat-each-index) API
- [`acceptDownloads`](./api/class-browser#browser-new-context-option-accept-downloads) option now defaults to `true`

### Breaking change: custom config options

Custom config options are a convenient way to parametrize projects with different values. Learn more in [this guide](./test-parameterize#parameterized-projects).

Previously, any fixture introduced through [`method: Test.extend`] could be overridden in the [`property: TestProject.use`] config section. For example,

```js
// WRONG: THIS SNIPPET DOES NOT WORK SINCE v1.18.

// fixtures.js
const test = base.extend({
  myParameter: 'default',
});

// playwright.config.js
module.exports = {
  use: {
    myParameter: 'value',
  },
};
```

The proper way to make a fixture parametrized in the config file is to specify `option: true` when defining the fixture. For example,

```js
// CORRECT: THIS SNIPPET WORKS SINCE v1.18.

// fixtures.js
const test = base.extend({
  // Fixtures marked as "option: true" will get a value specified in the config,
  // or fallback to the default value.
  myParameter: ['default', { option: true }],
});

// playwright.config.js
module.exports = {
  use: {
    myParameter: 'value',
  },
};
```

### Browser Versions

- Chromium 99.0.4812.0
- Mozilla Firefox 95.0
- WebKit 15.4

This version was also tested against the following stable channels:

- Google Chrome 97
- Microsoft Edge 97


## Version 1.17

<LiteYouTube
  id="7iyIdeoAP04"
  title="Playwright 1.17"
/>

### Frame Locators

Playwright 1.17 introduces [frame locators](./api/class-framelocator) - a locator to the iframe on the page. Frame locators capture the logic sufficient to retrieve the `iframe` and then locate elements in that iframe. Frame locators are strict by default, will wait for `iframe` to appear and can be used in Web-First assertions.

![Graphics](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/746130/142082759-2170db38-370d-43ec-8d41-5f9941f57d83.png)

Frame locators can be created with either [`method: Page.frameLocator`] or [`method: Locator.frameLocator`] method.

```js
const locator = page.frameLocator('#my-iframe').locator('text=Submit');
await locator.click();
```

Read more at [our documentation](./api/class-framelocator).

### Trace Viewer Update

Playwright Trace Viewer is now **available online** at https://trace.playwright.dev! Just drag-and-drop your `trace.zip` file to inspect its contents.

> **NOTE**: trace files are not uploaded anywhere; [trace.playwright.dev](https://trace.playwright.dev) is a [progressive web application](https://web.dev/progressive-web-apps/) that processes traces locally.

- Playwright Test traces now include sources by default (these could be turned off with tracing option)
- Trace Viewer now shows test name
- New trace metadata tab with browser details
- Snapshots now have URL bar

## Version 1.16

<LiteYouTube
  id="OQKwFDmY64g"
  title="Playwright 1.16"
/>

### 🎭 Playwright Test

#### API Testing

Playwright 1.16 introduces new [API Testing](./api/class-apirequestcontext) that lets you send requests to the server directly from Node.js!
Now you can:

- test your server API
- prepare server side state before visiting the web application in a test
- validate server side post-conditions after running some actions in the browser

To do a request on behalf of Playwright's Page, use **new [`property: Page.request`] API**:

```ts
import { test, expect } from '@playwright/test';

test('context fetch', async ({ page }) => {
  // Do a GET request on behalf of page
  const response = await page.request.get('http://example.com/foo.json');
  // ...
});
```

To do a stand-alone request from node.js to an API endpoint, use **new [`request` fixture](./api/class-fixtures#fixtures-request)**:

```ts
import { test, expect } from '@playwright/test';

test('context fetch', async ({ request }) => {
  // Do a GET request on behalf of page
  const response = await request.get('http://example.com/foo.json');
  // ...
});
```

Read more about it in our [API testing guide](./api-testing).

#### Response Interception

It is now possible to do response interception by combining [API Testing](./api-testing) with [request interception](./network#modify-requests).

For example, we can blur all the images on the page:

```ts
import { test, expect } from '@playwright/test';
import jimp from 'jimp'; // image processing library

test('response interception', async ({ page }) => {
  await page.route('**/*.jpeg', async route => {
    const response = await page._request.fetch(route.request());
    const image = await jimp.read(await response.body());
    await image.blur(5);
    route.fulfill({
      response,
      body: await image.getBufferAsync('image/jpeg'),
    });
  });
  const response = await page.goto('https://playwright.dev');
  expect(response.status()).toBe(200);
});
```

Read more about [response interception](./network#modify-responses).

#### New HTML reporter

Try it out new HTML reporter with either `--reporter=html` or a `reporter` entry
in `playwright.config.ts` file:

```bash
$ npx playwright test --reporter=html
```

The HTML reporter has all the information about tests and their failures, including surfacing
trace and image artifacts.

![html reporter](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/746130/138324311-94e68b39-b51a-4776-a446-f60037a77f32.png)

Read more about [our reporters](./test-reporters#html-reporter).

### 🎭 Playwright Library

#### locator.waitFor

Wait for a locator to resolve to a single element with a given state.
Defaults to the `state: 'visible'`.

Comes especially handy when working with lists:

```ts
import { test, expect } from '@playwright/test';

test('context fetch', async ({ page }) => {
  const completeness = page.locator('text=Success');
  await completeness.waitFor();
  expect(await page.screenshot()).toMatchSnapshot('screen.png');
});
```

Read more about [`method: Locator.waitFor`].

### Docker support for Arm64

Playwright Docker image is now published for Arm64 so it can be used on Apple Silicon.

Read more about [Docker integration](./docker).

### 🎭 Playwright Trace Viewer

- web-first assertions inside trace viewer
- run trace viewer with `npx playwright show-trace` and drop trace files to the trace viewer PWA
- API testing is integrated with trace viewer
- better visual attribution of action targets

Read more about [Trace Viewer](./trace-viewer).

### Browser Versions

- Chromium 97.0.4666.0
- Mozilla Firefox 93.0
- WebKit 15.4

This version of Playwright was also tested against the following stable channels:

- Google Chrome 94
- Microsoft Edge 94


## Version 1.15

<LiteYouTube
  id="6RwzsDeEj7Y"
  title="Playwright 1.15"
/>

### 🎭 Playwright Library

#### 🖱️ Mouse Wheel

By using [`Page.mouse.wheel`](https://playwright.dev/docs/api/class-mouse#mouse-wheel) you are now able to scroll vertically or horizontally.

#### 📜 New Headers API

Previously it was not possible to get multiple header values of a response. This is now  possible and additional helper functions are available:

- [Request.allHeaders()](https://playwright.dev/docs/api/class-request#request-all-headers)
- [Request.headersArray()](https://playwright.dev/docs/api/class-request#request-headers-array)
- [Request.headerValue(name: string)](https://playwright.dev/docs/api/class-request#request-header-value)
- [Response.allHeaders()](https://playwright.dev/docs/api/class-response#response-all-headers)
- [Response.headersArray()](https://playwright.dev/docs/api/class-response#response-headers-array)
- [Response.headerValue(name: string)](https://playwright.dev/docs/api/class-response#response-header-value)
- [Response.headerValues(name: string)](https://playwright.dev/docs/api/class-response#response-header-values)

#### 🌈 Forced-Colors emulation

Its now possible to emulate the `forced-colors` CSS media feature by passing it in the [context options](https://playwright.dev/docs/api/class-browser#browser-new-context-option-forced-colors) or calling [Page.emulateMedia()](https://playwright.dev/docs/api/class-page#page-emulate-media).

#### New APIs

- [Page.route()](https://playwright.dev/docs/api/class-page#page-route) accepts new `times` option to specify how many times this route should be matched.
- [Page.setChecked(selector: string, checked: boolean)](https://playwright.dev/docs/api/class-page#page-set-checked) and [Locator.setChecked(selector: string, checked: boolean)](https://playwright.dev/docs/api/class-locator#locator-set-checked) was introduced to set the checked state of a checkbox.
- [Request.sizes()](https://playwright.dev/docs/api/class-request#request-sizes) Returns resource size information for given http request.
- [BrowserContext.tracing.startChunk()](https://playwright.dev/docs/api/class-tracing#tracing-start-chunk) - Start a new trace chunk.
- [BrowserContext.tracing.stopChunk()](https://playwright.dev/docs/api/class-tracing#tracing-stop-chunk) - Stops a new trace chunk.

### 🎭 Playwright Test

#### 🤝 `test.parallel()` run tests in the same file in parallel

```ts
test.describe.parallel('group', () => {
  test('runs in parallel 1', async ({ page }) => {
  });
  test('runs in parallel 2', async ({ page }) => {
  });
});
```

By default, tests in a single file are run in order. If you have many independent tests in a single file, you can now run them in parallel with [test.describe.parallel(title, callback)](https://playwright.dev/docs/api/class-test#test-describe-parallel).

#### 🛠 Add `--debug` CLI flag

By using `npx playwright test --debug` it will enable the [Playwright Inspector](https://playwright.dev/docs/debug#playwright-inspector) for you to debug your tests.

### Browser Versions

- Chromium 96.0.4641.0
- Mozilla Firefox 92.0
- WebKit 15.0

## Version 1.14

<LiteYouTube
  id="LczBDR0gOhk"
  title="Playwright 1.14"
/>

### 🎭 Playwright Library

#### ⚡️ New "strict" mode

Selector ambiguity is a common problem in automation testing. **"strict" mode**
ensures that your selector points to a single element and throws otherwise.

Pass `strict: true` into your action calls to opt in.

```js
// This will throw if you have more than one button!
await page.click('button', { strict: true });
```

#### 📍 New [**Locators API**](./api/class-locator)

Locator represents a view to the element(s) on the page. It captures the logic sufficient to retrieve the element at any given moment.

The difference between the [Locator](./api/class-locator) and [ElementHandle](./api/class-elementhandle) is that the latter points to a particular element, while [Locator](./api/class-locator) captures the logic of how to retrieve that element.

Also, locators are **"strict" by default**!

```js
const locator = page.locator('button');
await locator.click();
```

Learn more in the [documentation](./api/class-locator).

#### 🧩 Experimental [**React**](./other-locators.md#react-locator) and [**Vue**](./other-locators.md#vue-locator) selector engines

React and Vue selectors allow selecting elements by its component name and/or property values. The syntax is very similar to [attribute selectors](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/Attribute_selectors) and supports all attribute selector operators.

```js
await page.locator('_react=SubmitButton[enabled=true]').click();
await page.locator('_vue=submit-button[enabled=true]').click();
```

Learn more in the [react selectors documentation](./other-locators.md#react-locator) and the [vue selectors documentation](./other-locators.md#vue-locator).

#### ✨ New [**`nth`**](./other-locators.md#n-th-element-locator) and [**`visible`**](./other-locators.md#css-matching-only-visible-elements) selector engines

- [`nth`](./other-locators.md#n-th-element-locator) selector engine is equivalent to the `:nth-match` pseudo class, but could be combined with other selector engines.
- [`visible`](./other-locators.md#css-matching-only-visible-elements) selector engine is equivalent to the `:visible` pseudo class, but could be combined with other selector engines.

```js
// select the first button among all buttons
await button.click('button >> nth=0');
// or if you are using locators, you can use first(), nth() and last()
await page.locator('button').first().click();

// click a visible button
await button.click('button >> visible=true');
```

### 🎭 Playwright Test

#### ✅ Web-First Assertions

`expect` now supports lots of new web-first assertions.

Consider the following example:

```js
await expect(page.locator('.status')).toHaveText('Submitted');
```

Playwright Test will be re-testing the node with the selector `.status` until fetched Node has the `"Submitted"` text. It will be re-fetching the node and checking it over and over, until the condition is met or until the timeout is reached. You can either pass this timeout or configure it once via the [`testProject.expect`](./api/class-testproject#test-project-expect) value in test config.

By default, the timeout for assertions is not set, so it'll wait forever, until the whole test times out.

List of all new assertions:

- [`expect(locator).toBeChecked()`](./test-assertions#expectlocatortobechecked)
- [`expect(locator).toBeDisabled()`](./test-assertions#expectlocatortobedisabled)
- [`expect(locator).toBeEditable()`](./test-assertions#expectlocatortobeeditable)
- [`expect(locator).toBeEmpty()`](./test-assertions#expectlocatortobeempty)
- [`expect(locator).toBeEnabled()`](./test-assertions#expectlocatortobeenabled)
- [`expect(locator).toBeFocused()`](./test-assertions#expectlocatortobefocused)
- [`expect(locator).toBeHidden()`](./test-assertions#expectlocatortobehidden)
- [`expect(locator).toBeVisible()`](./test-assertions#expectlocatortobevisible)
- [`expect(locator).toContainText(text, options?)`](./test-assertions#expectlocatortocontaintexttext-options)
- [`expect(locator).toHaveAttribute(name, value)`](./test-assertions#expectlocatortohaveattributename-value)
- [`expect(locator).toHaveClass(expected)`](./test-assertions#expectlocatortohaveclassexpected)
- [`expect(locator).toHaveCount(count)`](./test-assertions#expectlocatortohavecountcount)
- [`expect(locator).toHaveCSS(name, value)`](./test-assertions#expectlocatortohavecssname-value)
- [`expect(locator).toHaveId(id)`](./test-assertions#expectlocatortohaveidid)
- [`expect(locator).toHaveJSProperty(name, value)`](./test-assertions#expectlocatortohavejspropertyname-value)
- [`expect(locator).toHaveText(expected, options)`](./test-assertions#expectlocatortohavetextexpected-options)
- [`expect(page).toHaveTitle(title)`](./test-assertions#expectpagetohavetitletitle)
- [`expect(page).toHaveURL(url)`](./test-assertions#expectpagetohaveurlurl)
- [`expect(locator).toHaveValue(value)`](./test-assertions#expectlocatortohavevaluevalue)

#### ⛓ Serial mode with [`describe.serial`](./api/class-test#test-describe-serial)

Declares a group of tests that should always be run serially. If one of the tests fails, all subsequent tests are skipped. All tests in a group are retried together.

```ts
test.describe.serial('group', () => {
  test('runs first', async ({ page }) => { /* ... */ });
  test('runs second', async ({ page }) => { /* ... */ });
});
```

Learn more in the [documentation](./api/class-test#test-describe-serial).

#### 🐾 Steps API with [`test.step`](./api/class-test#test-step)

Split long tests into multiple steps using `test.step()` API:

```ts
import { test, expect } from '@playwright/test';

test('test', async ({ page }) => {
  await test.step('Log in', async () => {
    // ...
  });
  await test.step('news feed', async () => {
    // ...
  });
});
```

Step information is exposed in reporters API.

#### 🌎 Launch web server before running tests

To launch a server during the tests, use the [`webServer`](./test-webserver) option in the configuration file. The server will wait for a given url to be available before running the tests, and the url will be passed over to Playwright as a [`baseURL`](./api/class-fixtures#fixtures-base-url) when creating a context.

```ts title="playwright.config.ts"
import { defineConfig } from '@playwright/test';
export default defineConfig({
  webServer: {
    command: 'npm run start', // command to launch
    url: 'http://127.0.0.1:3000', // url to await for
    timeout: 120 * 1000,
    reuseExistingServer: !process.env.CI,
  },
});
```

Learn more in the [documentation](./test-webserver).

Simple test `tests/foo.spec.ts`:

```ts
import { test, expect } from '@playwright/test';

test('basic test', async ({ page }) => {
  await page.goto('https://playwright.dev/');
  const name = await page.innerText('.navbar__title');
  expect(name).toBe('Playwright');
});
```

Running:

```bash
npx playwright test
```

👉  Read more in [Playwright Test documentation](./intro.md).

#### 🧟‍♂️ Introducing Playwright Trace Viewer

[Playwright Trace Viewer](./trace-viewer.md) is a new GUI tool that helps exploring recorded Playwright traces after the script ran. Playwright traces let you examine:
- page DOM before and after each Playwright action
- page rendering before and after each Playwright action
- browser network during script execution

Traces are recorded using the new [`property: BrowserContext.tracing`] API:

```ts
const browser = await chromium.launch();
const context = await browser.newContext();

// Start tracing before creating / navigating a page.
await context.tracing.start({ screenshots: true, snapshots: true });

const page = await context.newPage();
await page.goto('https://playwright.dev');

// Stop tracing and export it into a zip archive.
await context.tracing.stop({ path: 'trace.zip' });
```

Traces are examined later with the Playwright CLI:


```sh
npx playwright show-trace trace.zip
```

That will open the following GUI:
