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.
page.clock.install(time=datetime.datetime(2024, 2, 2, 8, 0, 0))
page.goto("http://localhost:3333")

# Pretend that the user closed the laptop lid and opened it again at 10am.
# Pause the time once reached that point.
page.clock.pause_at(datetime.datetime(2024, 2, 2, 10, 0, 0))

# Assert the page state.
expect(page.get_by_test_id("current-time")).to_have_text("2/2/2024, 10:00:00 AM")

# Close the laptop lid again and open it at 10:30am.
page.clock.fast_forward("30:00")
expect(page.get_by_test_id("current-time")).to_have_text("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.
```
page.get_by_label("Upload directory").set_input_files('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.
page.keyboard.press("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.
