Clock

Utilizing the new Clock API allows to manipulate and control time within tests to verify time-related behavior. This API covers many common scenarios, including:

testing with predefined time;
keeping consistent time and timers;
monitoring inactivity;
ticking through time manually.

// Initialize clock with some time before the test time and let the page load naturally.
// `Date.now` will progress as the timers fire.
await Page.Clock.InstallAsync(new()
{
  TimeDate = new DateTime(2024, 2, 2, 8, 0, 0)
});
await Page.GotoAsync("http://localhost:3333");

// Pretend that the user closed the laptop lid and opened it again at 10am.
// Pause the time once reached that point.
await Page.Clock.PauseAtAsync(new DateTime(2024, 2, 2, 10, 0, 0));

// Assert the page state.
await Expect(Page.GetByTestId("current-time")).ToHaveTextAsync("2/2/2024, 10:00:00 AM");

// Close the laptop lid again and open it at 10:30am.
await Page.Clock.FastForwardAsync("30:00");
await Expect(Page.GetByTestId("current-time")).ToHaveTextAsync("2/2/2024, 10:30:00 AM");

See the clock guide for more details.

Miscellaneous

Method locator.setInputFiles() now supports uploading a directory for <input type=file webkitdirectory> elements.
```
await page.GetByLabel("Upload directory").SetInputFilesAsync("mydir");
```
Multiple methods like locator.click() or locator.press() now support a ControlOrMeta modifier key. This key maps to Meta on macOS and maps to Control on Windows and Linux.
```
// Press the common keyboard shortcut Control+S or Meta+S to trigger a "Save" operation.
await page.Keyboard.PressAsync("ControlOrMeta+S");
```
New property httpCredentials.send in apiRequest.newContext() that allows to either always send the Authorization header or only send it in response to 401 Unauthorized.
Playwright now supports Chromium, Firefox and WebKit on Ubuntu 24.04.
v1.45 is the last release to receive WebKit update for macOS 12 Monterey. Please update macOS to keep using the latest WebKit.
