Playwright Agents

Introducing Playwright Agents, three custom agent definitions designed to guide LLMs through the core process of building a Playwright test:

• 🎭 planner explores the app and produces a Markdown test plan
• 🎭 generator transforms the Markdown plan into the Playwright Test files
• 🎭 healer executes the test suite and automatically repairs failing tests

Run npx playwright init-agents with your client of choice to generate the latest agent definitions:

### Generate agent files for each agentic loop
### Visual Studio Code
npx playwright init-agents --loop=vscode

### Claude Code
npx playwright init-agents --loop=claude

### opencode
npx playwright init-agents --loop=opencode

[!NOTE]
VS Code v1.105 (currently on the VS Code Insiders channel) is needed for the agentic experience in VS Code. It will become stable shortly, we are a bit ahead of times with this functionality!

  import { defineConfig } from '@​playwright/test';
  
  export default defineConfig({
    reporter: [['html', { title: 'Custom test run #​1028' }]]
  });

Miscellaneous

• New option kind in testInfo.snapshotPath() controls which snapshot path template is used.

  await expect(page.getByRole('listitem', { name: 'Ship v1.52' })).toContainClass('done');

• Aria Snapshots got two new properties: /children for strict matching and /url for links.

  await expect(locator).toMatchAriaSnapshot(`
    - list
      - /children: equal
      - listitem: Feature A
      - listitem:
        - link "Feature B":
          - /url: "https://playwright.dev"
  `);

Test Runner

• New property testProject.workers allows to specify the number of concurrent worker processes to use for a test project. The global limit of property testConfig.workers still applies.
• New testConfig.failOnFlakyTests option to fail the test run if any flaky tests are detected, similarly to --fail-on-flaky-tests. This is useful for CI/CD environments where you want to ensure that all tests are stable before deploying.
• New property testResult.annotations contains annotations for each test retry.

Miscellaneous

• New option maxRedirects in apiRequest.newContext() to control the maximum number of redirects.
• HTML reporter now supports NOT filtering via !@​my-tag or !my-file.spec.ts or !p:my-project.

Breaking Changes

  • ? wildcard is not supported any more, it will always match question mark ? character.
  • Ranges/sets [] are not supported anymore. We recommend using regular expressions instead.
• Method route.continue() does not allow to override the Cookie header anymore. If a Cookie header is provided, it will be ignored, and the cookie will be loaded from the browser's cookie store. To set custom cookies, use browserContext.addCookies().
• macOS 13 is now deprecated and will no longer receive WebKit updates. Please upgrade to a more recent macOS version to continue benefiting from the latest WebKit improvements.

StorageState for indexedDB

• New option indexedDB for browserContext.storageState() allows to save and restore IndexedDB contents. Useful when your application uses IndexedDB API to store authentication tokens, like Firebase Authentication.

  Here is an example following the authentication guide:

  // tests/auth.setup.ts
  import { test as setup, expect } from '@​playwright/test';
  import path from 'path';
  
  const authFile = path.join(__dirname, '../playwright/.auth/user.json');
  
  setup('authenticate', async ({ page }) => {
    await page.goto('/');
    // ... perform authentication steps ...
  
    // make sure to save indexedDB
    await page.context().storageState({ path: authFile, indexedDB: true });
  });

Copy prompt

New "Copy prompt" button on errors in the HTML report, trace viewer and UI mode. Click to copy a pre-filled LLM prompt that contains the error message and useful context for fixing the error.

Filter visible elements

New option visible for locator.filter() allows matching only visible elements.

// example.spec.ts
test('some test', async ({ page }) => {
  // Ignore invisible todo items.
  const todoItems = page.getByTestId('todo-item').filter({ visible: true });
  // Check there are exactly 3 visible ones.
  await expect(todoItems).toHaveCount(3);
});

Git information in HTML report

Set option testConfig.captureGitInfo to capture git information into testConfig.metadata.

// playwright.config.ts
import { defineConfig } from '@​playwright/test';

export default defineConfig({
  captureGitInfo: { commit: true, diff: true }
});

HTML report will show this information when available:

Test Step improvements

A new TestStepInfo object is now available in test steps. You can add step attachments or skip the step under some conditions.

test('some test', async ({ page, isMobile }) => {
  // Note the new "step" argument:
  await test.step('here is my step', async step => {
    step.skip(isMobile, 'not relevant on mobile layouts');

    // ...
    await step.attach('my attachment', { body: 'some text' });
    // ...
  });
});

Miscellaneous

• New option contrast for methods page.emulateMedia() and browser.newContext() allows to emulate the prefers-contrast media feature.
• New option failOnStatusCode makes all fetch requests made through the APIRequestContext throw on response codes other than 2xx and 3xx.
• Assertion expect(page).toHaveURL() now supports a predicate.

Test runner

• New option timeout allows specifying a maximum run time for an individual test step. A timed-out step will fail the execution of the test.

  test('some test', async ({ page }) => {
    await test.step('a step', async () => {
      // This step can time out separately from the test
    }, { timeout: 1000 });
  });

• New method test.step.skip() to disable execution of a test step.

  test('some test', async ({ page }) => {
    await test.step('before running step', async () => {
      // Normal step
    });
  
    await test.step.skip('not yet ready', async () => {
      // This step is skipped
    });
  
    await test.step('after running step', async () => {
      // This step still runs even though the previous one was skipped
    });
  });

• Expanded expect(locator).toMatchAriaSnapshot() to allow storing of aria snapshots in separate YAML files.

• Added method expect(locator).toHaveAccessibleErrorMessage() to assert the Locator points to an element with a given aria errormessage.

• Option testConfig.updateSnapshots added the configuration enum changed. changed updates only the snapshots that have changed, whereas all now updates all snapshots, regardless of whether there are any differences.

• New option testConfig.updateSourceMethod defines the way source code is updated when testConfig.updateSnapshots is configured. Added overwrite and 3-way modes that write the changes into source code, on top of existing patch mode that creates a patch file.

  npx playwright test --update-snapshots=changed --update-source-method=3way

• Option testConfig.webServer added a gracefulShutdown field for specifying a process kill signal other than the default SIGKILL.

• Exposed testStep.attachments from the reporter API to allow retrieval of all attachments created by that step.

• New option pathTemplate for toHaveScreenshot and toMatchAriaSnapshot assertions in the testConfig.expect configuration.

UI updates

• Updated default HTML reporter to improve display of attachments.
• New button for picking elements to produce aria snapshots.
• Additional details (such as keys pressed) are now displayed alongside action API calls in traces.
• Display of canvas content in traces is error-prone. Display is now disabled by default, and can be enabled via the Display canvas content UI setting.
• Call and Network panels now display additional time information.

Breaking

• expect(locator).toBeEditable() and locator.isEditable() now throw if the target element is not <input>, <select>, or a number of other editable elements.
• Option testConfig.updateSnapshots now updates all snapshots when set to all, rather than only the failed/changed snapshots. Use the new enum changed to keep the old functionality of only updating the changed snapshots.

Aria snapshots

New assertion expect(locator).toMatchAriaSnapshot() verifies page structure by comparing to an expected accessibility tree, represented as YAML.

await page.goto('https://playwright.dev');
await expect(page.locator('body')).toMatchAriaSnapshot(`
  - banner:
    - heading /Playwright enables reliable/ [level=1]
    - link "Get started"
    - link "Star microsoft/playwright on GitHub"
  - main:
    - img "Browsers (Chromium, Firefox, WebKit)"
    - heading "Any browser • Any platform • One API"
`);

You can generate this assertion with Test Generator and update the expected snapshot with --update-snapshots command line flag.

Learn more in the aria snapshots guide.

Test runner

• New option testConfig.tsconfig allows to specify a single tsconfig to be used for all tests.
• New method test.fail.only() to focus on a failing test.
• Options testConfig.globalSetup and testConfig.globalTeardown now support multiple setups/teardowns.
• New value 'on-first-failure' for testOptions.screenshot.
• Added "previous" and "next" buttons to the HTML report to quickly switch between test cases.
• New properties testInfoError.cause and testError.cause mirroring Error.cause.

Breaking: channels chrome, msedge and similar switch to new headless

This change affects you if you're using one of the following channels in your playwright.config.ts:

• chrome, chrome-dev, chrome-beta, or chrome-canary
• msedge, msedge-dev, msedge-beta, or msedge-canary

What do I need to do?

After updating to Playwright v1.49, run your test suite. If it still passes, you're good to go. If not, you will probably need to update your snapshots, and adapt some of your test code around PDF viewers and extensions. See issue #​33566 for more details.

Other breaking changes

• There will be no more updates for WebKit on Ubuntu 20.04 and Debian 11. We recommend updating your OS to a later version.
• Package @playwright/experimental-ct-vue2 will no longer be updated.
• Package @playwright/experimental-ct-solid will no longer be updated.

Try new Chromium headless

You can opt into the new headless mode by using 'chromium' channel. As official Chrome documentation puts it:

New Headless on the other hand is the real Chrome browser, and is thus more authentic, reliable, and offers more features. This makes it more suitable for high-accuracy end-to-end web app testing or browser extension testing.

See issue #​33566 for the list of possible breakages you could encounter and more details on Chromium headless. Please file an issue if you see any problems after opting in.

import { defineConfig, devices } from '@​playwright/test';

export default defineConfig({
  projects: [
    {
      name: 'chromium',
      use: { ...devices['Desktop Chrome'], channel: 'chromium' },
    },
  ],
});

Miscellaneous

• <canvas> elements inside a snapshot now draw a preview.
• New method tracing.group() to visually group actions in the trace.
• Playwright docker images switched from Node.js v20 to Node.js v22 LTS.

WebSocket routing

New methods page.routeWebSocket() and browserContext.routeWebSocket() allow to intercept, modify and mock WebSocket connections initiated in the page. Below is a simple example that mocks WebSocket communication by responding to a "request" with a "response".

await page.routeWebSocket('/ws', ws => {
  ws.onMessage(message => {
    if (message === 'request')
      ws.send('response');
  });
});

See WebSocketRoute for more details.

UI updates

• New "copy" buttons for annotations and test location in the HTML report.
• Route method calls like route.fulfill() are not shown in the report and trace viewer anymore. You can see which network requests were routed in the network tab instead.
• New "Copy as cURL" and "Copy as fetch" buttons for requests in the network tab.

Miscellaneous

• Option form and similar ones now accept FormData.
• New method page.requestGC() may help detect memory leaks.
• New option location to pass custom step location.

Network Tab improvements

The Network tab in the UI mode and trace viewer has several nice improvements:

• filtering by asset type and URL
• better display of query string parameters
• preview of font assets

Credit to @​kubajanik for these wonderful improvements!

--tsconfig CLI option

By default, Playwright will look up the closest tsconfig for each imported file using a heuristic. You can now specify a single tsconfig file in the command line, and Playwright will use it for all imported files, not only test files:

### Pass a specific tsconfig
npx playwright test --tsconfig tsconfig.test.json

APIRequestContext now accepts URLSearchParams and string as query parameters

You can now pass URLSearchParams and string as query parameters to APIRequestContext:

test('query params', async ({ request }) => {
  const searchParams = new URLSearchParams();
  searchParams.set('userId', 1);
  const response = await request.get(
      'https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/posts',
      {
        params: searchParams // or as a string: 'userId=1'
      }
  );
  // ...
});

Miscellaneous

• The mcr.microsoft.com/playwright:v1.47.0 now serves a Playwright image based on Ubuntu 24.04 Noble.
  To use the 22.04 jammy-based image, please use mcr.microsoft.com/playwright:v1.47.0-jammy instead.
• The :latest/:focal/:jammy tag for Playwright Docker images is no longer being published. Pin to a specific version for better stability and reproducibility.
• New option behavior in page.removeAllListeners(), browser.removeAllListeners() and browserContext.removeAllListeners() to wait for ongoing listeners to complete.
• TLS client certificates can now be passed from memory by passing cert and key as buffers instead of file paths.
• Attachments with a text/html content type can now be opened in a new tab in the HTML report. This is useful for including third-party reports or other HTML content in the Playwright test report and distributing it to your team.
• noWaitAfter in locator.selectOption() was deprecated.
• We've seen reports of WebGL in Webkit misbehaving on GitHub Actions macos-13. We recommend upgrading GitHub Actions to macos-14.

Playwright now allows to supply client-side certificates, so that server can verify them, as specified by TLS Client Authentication.

When client certificates are specified, all browser traffic is routed through a proxy that establishes the secure TLS connection, provides client certificates to the server and validates server certificates.

The following snippet sets up a client certificate for https://example.com:

import { defineConfig } from '@​playwright/test';

export default defineConfig({
  // ...
  use: {
    clientCertificates: [{
      origin: 'https://example.com',
      certPath: './cert.pem',
      keyPath: './key.pem',
      passphrase: 'mysecretpassword',
    }],
  },
  // ...
});

You can also provide client certificates to a particular test project or as a parameter of browser.newContext() and apiRequest.newContext().

--only-changed cli option

New CLI option --only-changed allows to only run test files that have been changed since the last git commit or from a specific git "ref".

### Only run test files with uncommitted changes
npx playwright test --only-changed

### Only run test files changed relative to the "main" branch
npx playwright test --only-changed=main

Component Testing: New router fixture

This release introduces an experimental router fixture to intercept and handle network requests in component testing.
There are two ways to use the router fixture:

• Call router.route(url, handler) that behaves similarly to page.route().
• Call router.use(handlers) and pass MSW library request handlers to it.

Here is an example of reusing your existing MSW handlers in the test.

import { handlers } from '@​src/mocks/handlers';

test.beforeEach(async ({ router }) => {
  // install common handlers before each test
  await router.use(...handlers);
});

test('example test', async ({ mount }) => {
  // test as usual, your handlers are active
  // ...
});

This fixture is only available in component tests.

UI Mode / Trace Viewer Updates

• Test annotations are now shown in UI mode.
• Content of text attachments is now rendered inline in the attachments pane.
• New setting to show/hide routing actions like route.continue().
• Request method and status are shown in the network details tab.
• New button to copy source file location to clipboard.
• Metadata pane now displays the baseURL.

Miscellaneous

• New maxRetries option in apiRequestContext.fetch() which retries on the ECONNRESET network error.
• New option to box a fixture to minimize the fixture exposure in test reports and error messages.
• New option to provide a custom fixture title to be used in test reports and error messages.

Possibly breaking change

Fixture values that are array of objects, when specified in the test.use() block, may require being wrapped into a fixture tuple. This is best seen on the example:

import { test as base } from '@​playwright/test';

// Define an option fixture that has an "array of objects" value
type User = { name: string, password: string };
const test = base.extend<{ users: User[] }>({
  users: [ [], { option: true } ],
}); 

// Specify option value in the test.use block.
test.use({
  // WRONG: this syntax may not work for you
  users: [
    { name: 'John Doe', password: 'secret' },
    { name: 'John Smith', password: 's3cr3t' },
  ],
  // CORRECT: this syntax will work. Note extra [] around the value, and the "scope" property.
  users: [[
    { name: 'John Doe', password: 'secret' },
    { name: 'John Smith', password: 's3cr3t' },
  ], { scope: 'test' }],
});

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