microsoft/playwright-dotnet v1.27.0 on GitHub

Highlights

Locators

With these new APIs writing locators is a joy:

Page.GetByText(text, options) to locate by text content.
Page.GetByRole(role, options) to locate by ARIA role, ARIA attributes and accessible name.
Page.GetByLabel(text, options) to locate a form control by associated label's text.
Page.GetByPlaceholder(text, options) to locate an input by placeholder.
Page.GetByAltText(text, options)e to locate an element, usually image, by its text alternative.
Page.GetByTitle(text, options) to locate an element by its title.

await Page.GetByLabel("User Name").FillAsync("John");

await Page.GetByLabel("Password").FillAsync("secret-password");

await Page.GetByRole("button", new() { Name = "Sign in" }).ClickAsync();

await Expect(Page.GetByText("Welcome, John!")).ToBeVisibleAsync();

All the same methods are also available on Locator, FrameLocator and Frame classes.

Other highlights

As announced in v1.25, Ubuntu 18 will not be supported as of Dec 2022. In addition to that, there will be no WebKit updates on Ubuntu 18 starting from the next Playwright release.

Behavior Changes

Expect(Locator).ToHaveAttributeAsync(name, value, options) with an empty value does not match missing attribute anymore. For example, the following snippet will succeed when button does not have a disabled attribute.
```
await Expect(page.GetByRole("button")).ToHaveAttribute("disabled", "");
```
