microsoft/playwright-cli v0.1.14

on GitHub

Highlights

• Annotate actions in recorded videos — new video-show-actions / video-hide-actions commands draw a callout naming each action and highlighting its target in the recording. (microsoft/playwright#40914)
• exposeNetwork and other connect options for remote browsers — remoteEndpoint now accepts a full ConnectOptions object, so settings like exposeNetwork and headers apply to remote connections. (microsoft/playwright#40964)
• Bounded output size — --output-max-size caps captured output and evicts to disk after the response, keeping large sessions manageable. (microsoft/playwright#41031)

Fixes

• fix(cli): support attaching to a Playwright browser server endpoint (microsoft/playwright#41154) — playwright-cli attach --endpoint=<ws-url> connects to a running browser server instead of erroring out. (microsoft/playwright#41203)
• fix(mcp): support moz-firefox BiDi channels via --browser — connect to Firefox over BiDi using --browser. (microsoft/playwright#41126)
• fix(mcp): keep remoteHeaders working for remote browser endpoint — custom headers are sent again when connecting to a remote endpoint. (microsoft/playwright#41156, #40828)
• fix(cli): persist traces when CLI attaches to existing CDP browser — traces are now saved when attaching over CDP. (microsoft/playwright#40810)
• fix(cli): accept single --modifiers value for click and dblclick — --modifiers=Shift works without requiring a list. (microsoft/playwright#40784)
• fix(cli): trim overlong session names to fit unix socket path limit — long session names no longer break the daemon socket. (microsoft/playwright#40898)
• fix(cli): do not pass PLAYWRIGHT_CLI_SESSION as daemon --endpoint — fixes spurious endpoint resolution from the session env var. (microsoft/playwright#41019)
• fix(mcp): report missing ffmpeg distinctly from missing browser — clearer error when video recording fails due to a missing ffmpeg. (microsoft/playwright#40867)
• fix(mcp): report invalid tool arguments — invalid arguments now produce a readable error instead of failing silently. (microsoft/playwright#40979)
• fix(mcp): use writable cache dir for MCP user data, not browsers path — avoids permission errors on read-only browser installs. (microsoft/playwright#40961)
• fix(mcp): use waitUntil commit for navigate back/forward — back/forward navigation resolves more reliably. (microsoft/playwright#41153)
• fix(mcp): tear down dashboard server on cli show --kill — cli show --kill fully stops the dashboard. (microsoft/playwright#40968)
• fix(tracing): mkdir tracesDir before live .stacks writes — fixes a crash when the traces directory does not yet exist. (microsoft/playwright#40730)
• docs(cli): document & URL escaping on Windows — guidance on escaping & in URLs on cmd.exe and PowerShell. (microsoft/playwright#40742)
