Test Generator Update

New tools to generate assertions:

• "Assert visibility" tool generates expect(locator).toBeVisible().
• "Assert value" tool generates expect(locator).toHaveValue(value).
• "Assert text" tool generates expect(locator).toContainText(text).

Here is an example of a generated test with assertions:

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 reason in page.close(), browserContext.close() and browser.close(). Close reason is reported for all operations interrupted by the closure.
• Option firefoxUserPrefs in browserType.launchPersistentContext(userDataDir).

Other Changes

• Methods download.path() and download.createReadStream() throw an error for failed and cancelled downloads.
• Playwright docker image now comes with Node.js v20.

Add custom matchers to your expect

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

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.

Merge test fixtures

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

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);

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:

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);

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 test.step() as "boxed" so that errors inside it point to the step call site.

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

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 test.step() documentation for a full example.

UI Mode Updates

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

New APIs

• [browserContext.on('weberror')][browserContext.on('weberror')]
• [locator.pressSequentially()][locator.pressSequentially()]
• The [reporter.onEnd()][reporter.onEnd()] now reports startTime and total run duration.

Deprecations

• The following methods were deprecated: [page.type()][page.type()], [frame.type()][frame.type()], [locator.type()][locator.type()] and [elementHandle.type()][elementHandle.type()].
  Please use [locator.fill()][locator.fill()] instead which is much faster. Use [locator.pressSequentially()][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:

- 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:

// 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"

✨ New tool to merge reports

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:

   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:

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

Playwright v1.35 updates

Highlights

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

  

• UI mode and trace viewer mark network requests handled with page.route() and browserContext.route() handlers, as well as those issued via the API testing:

  

• New option maskColor for methods page.screenshot(), locator.screenshot(), expect(page).toHaveScreenshot() and expect(locator).toHaveScreenshot() to change default masking color:

  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:

  $ 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:

  $ 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:

  $ 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.

Playwright v1.33 & v1.34 updates

Highlights

• UI Mode now shows steps, fixtures and attachments:

• New 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:

  // 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 to create pre-configured expect instance with its own defaults such as timeout and soft.

  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 testConfig.webServer to configure output handling:

  // 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 locator.and() to create a locator that matches both locators.

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

• New events browserContext.on('console') and browserContext.on('dialog') to subscribe to any dialogs
  and console messages from any page from the given browser context. Use the new methods consoleMessage.page()
  and 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:

  // automation.ts
  import { chromium, firefox, webkit } from '@​playwright/test';
  /* ... */

• Node.js 14 is no longer supported since it reached its end-of-life on April 30, 2023.
