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.
