Network Tab improvements
The Network tab in the UI mode and trace viewer has several nice improvements:
- filtering by asset type and URL
- better display of query string parameters
- preview of font assets
Credit to @kubajanik for these wonderful improvements!
--tsconfig
CLI option
By default, Playwright will look up the closest tsconfig for each imported file using a heuristic. You can now specify a single tsconfig file in the command line, and Playwright will use it for all imported files, not only test files:
# Pass a specific tsconfig
npx playwright test --tsconfig tsconfig.test.json
APIRequestContext now accepts URLSearchParams
and string
as query parameters
You can now pass URLSearchParams
and string
as query parameters to APIRequestContext:
test('query params', async ({ request }) => {
const searchParams = new URLSearchParams();
searchParams.set('userId', 1);
const response = await request.get(
'https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/posts',
{
params: searchParams // or as a string: 'userId=1'
}
);
// ...
});
Miscellaneous
- The
mcr.microsoft.com/playwright:v1.47.0
now serves a Playwright image based on Ubuntu 24.04 Noble.
To use the 22.04 jammy-based image, please usemcr.microsoft.com/playwright:v1.47.0-jammy
instead. - The
:latest
/:focal
/:jammy
tag for Playwright Docker images is no longer being published. Pin to a specific version for better stability and reproducibility. - New option
behavior
in page.removeAllListeners(), browser.removeAllListeners() and browserContext.removeAllListeners() to wait for ongoing listeners to complete. - TLS client certificates can now be passed from memory by passing
cert
andkey
as buffers instead of file paths. - Attachments with a
text/html
content type can now be opened in a new tab in the HTML report. This is useful for including third-party reports or other HTML content in the Playwright test report and distributing it to your team. noWaitAfter
in locator.selectOption() was deprecated.- We've seen reports of WebGL in Webkit misbehaving on GitHub Actions
macos-13
. We recommend upgrading GitHub Actions tomacos-14
.
