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"
  }
}
