Add custom matchers to your expect

You can extend Playwright assertions by providing custom matchers. These matchers will be available on the expect object.

import { expect as baseExpect } from '@playwright/test';
export const expect = baseExpect.extend({
  async toHaveAmount(locator: Locator, expected: number, options?: { timeout?: number }) {
    // ... see documentation for how to write matchers.
  },
});

test('pass', async ({ page }) => {
  await expect(page.getByTestId('cart')).toHaveAmount(5);
});

See the documentation for a full example.

Merge test fixtures

You can now merge test fixtures from multiple files or modules:

import { mergeTests } from '@playwright/test';
import { test as dbTest } from 'database-test-utils';
import { test as a11yTest } from 'a11y-test-utils';

export const test = mergeTests(dbTest, a11yTest);
import { test } from './fixtures';

test('passes', async ({ database, page, a11y }) => {
  // use database and a11y fixtures.
});

Merge custom expect matchers

You can now merge custom expect matchers from multiple files or modules:

import { mergeTests, mergeExpects } from '@playwright/test';
import { test as dbTest, expect as dbExpect } from 'database-test-utils';
import { test as a11yTest, expect as a11yExpect } from 'a11y-test-utils';

export const test = mergeTests(dbTest, a11yTest);
export const expect = mergeExpects(dbExpect, a11yExpect);
import { test, expect } from './fixtures';

test('passes', async ({ page, database }) => {
  await expect(database).toHaveDatabaseUser('admin');
  await expect(page).toPassA11yAudit();
});

Hide implementation details: box test steps

You can mark a test.step() as "boxed" so that errors inside it point to the step call site.

async function login(page) {
  await test.step('login', async () => {
    // ...
  }, { box: true });  // Note the "box" option here.
}
Error: Timed out 5000ms waiting for expect(locator).toBeVisible()
  ... error details omitted ...

  14 |   await page.goto('https://github.com/login');
> 15 |   await login(page);
     |         ^
  16 | });

See test.step() documentation for a full example.
