Migrate to version 4 which returns a promise rather than leverages a
callback. -> https://www.npmjs.com/package/rimraf?activeTab=readme
- contains its own types, eliminate "@types/rimraf"
- Parameter `maxBusyTries` changed to `maxRetries`
Partial fix for https://github.com/microsoft/playwright/issues/6319
After this fix, the following scenario won't leak and the context state
(cookies, storage, etc) can be reused by the new page sessions:
```js
for (let i = 0; i < 1000; ++i) {
const page = await context.newPage();
await page.goto('...');
await page.close('...');
}
```
BREAKING CHANGE: Drop support for React 17 and earlier
Support for React 17 an earlier is provided by
`@playwright/experimental-ct-react-17`
Closes#19923
This patch implements a new image comparison function, codenamed
"ssim-cie94". The goal of the new comparison function is to cancel out
browser non-determenistic rendering.
To use the new comparison function:
```ts
await expect(page).toHaveScreenshot({
comparator: 'ssim-cie94',
});
```
As of Nov 30, 2022, we identified the following sources of
non-determenistic rendering for Chromium:
- Anti-aliasing for certain shapes might be different due to the
way skia rasterizes certain shapes.
- Color blending might be different on `x86` and `aarch64`
architectures.
The new function employs a few heuristics to fight these
differences.
Consider two non-equal image pixels `(r1, g1, b1)` and `(r2, g2, b2)`:
1. If the [CIE94] metric is less then 1.0, then we consider these pixels
**EQUAL**. (The value `1.0` is the [just-noticeable difference] for
[CIE94].). Otherwise, proceed to next step.
1. If all the 8 neighbors of the first pixel match its color, or
if the 8 neighbors of the second pixel match its color, then these
pixels are **DIFFERENT**. (In case of anti-aliasing, some of the
direct neighbors have to be blended up or down.) Otherwise, proceed
to next step.
1. If SSIM in some locality around the different pixels is more than
0.99, then consider this pixels to be **EQUAL**. Otherwise, mark them
as **DIFFERENT**. (Local SSIM for anti-aliased pixels turns out to be
very close to 1.0).
