New APIs

Accessibility assertions

• expect(locator).to_have_accessible_name() checks if the element has the specified accessible name:

  locator = page.get_by_role("button")
  expect(locator).to_have_accessible_name("Submit")

• expect(locator).to_have_accessible_description() checks if the element has the specified accessible description:

  locator = page.get_by_role("button")
  expect(locator).to_have_accessible_description("Upload a photo")

• expect(locator).to_have_role() checks if the element has the specified ARIA role:

  locator = page.get_by_test_id("save-button")
  expect(locator).to_have_role("button")

Locator handler

• After executing the handler added with page.add_locator_handler(), Playwright will now wait until the overlay that triggered the handler is not visible anymore. You can opt-out of this behavior with the new no_wait_after option.
• You can use new times option in page.add_locator_handler() to specify maximum number of times the handler should be run.
• The handler in page.add_locator_handler() now accepts the locator as argument.
• New page.remove_locator_handler() method for removing previously added locator handlers.

locator = page.get_by_text("This interstitial covers the button")
page.add_locator_handler(locator, lambda overlay: overlay.locator("#close").click(), times=3, no_wait_after=True)
# Run your tests that can be interrupted by the overlay.
# ...
page.remove_locator_handler(locator)

Miscellaneous options

• expect(page).to_have_url() now supports ignore_case option.
