microsoft/playwright-python v1.8.0a1

on GitHub

Highlights

• Playwright goes semver. We are jumping from 0.170.* to 1.8.0a1 to become semver compliant. This is a breaking change, but once we drop the Alpha bit, it'll be in stone for years!
• Documentation site is now all about Python! It has guides, sample snippets, API docs
• You can now select elements based on layout with :left-of(), :right-of(), :above() and :below()
• New methods to assert element state like page.is_editable('selector') were added.

Migration from the pre-release versions

The API has changed since the last 0.170.0 version:

• Snake case notation for methods and arguments:

  # old
  browser.newPage()
  

  # new
  browser.new_page()
  

• Import has changed to include sync vs async mode explicitly:

  # old
  from playwright import sync_playwright
  

  # new
  from playwright.sync_api import sync_playwright
