playwright 1.24.0 on Node.js Yarn

🌍 Multiple Web Servers in `playwright.config.ts`

Launch multiple web servers, databases, or other processes by passing an array of configurations:

// playwright.config.ts
import type { PlaywrightTestConfig } from '@playwright/test';
const config: PlaywrightTestConfig = {
  webServer: [
    {
      command: 'npm run start',
      port: 3000,
      timeout: 120 * 1000,
      reuseExistingServer: !process.env.CI,
    },
    {
      command: 'npm run backend',
      port: 3333,
      timeout: 120 * 1000,
      reuseExistingServer: !process.env.CI,
    }
  ],
  use: {
    baseURL: 'http://localhost:3000/',
  },
};
export default config;

🐂 Debian 11 Bullseye Support

Playwright now supports Debian 11 Bullseye on x86_64 for Chromium, Firefox and WebKit. Let us know
if you encounter any issues!

Linux support looks like this:

	Ubuntu 18.04	Ubuntu 20.04	Ubuntu 22.04	Debian 11
Chromium	✅	✅	✅	✅
WebKit	✅	✅	✅	✅
Firefox	✅	✅	✅	✅

🕵️ Anonymous Describe

It is now possible to call test.describe(callback) to create suites without a title. This is useful for giving a group of tests a common option with test.use(options).

test.describe(() => {
  test.use({ colorScheme: 'dark' });

  test('one', async ({ page }) => {
    // ...
  });

  test('two', async ({ page }) => {
    // ...
  });
});

🧩 Component Tests Update

Playwright 1.24 Component Tests introduce beforeMount and afterMount hooks.
Use these to configure your app for tests.

Vue + Vue Router

For example, this could be used to setup App router in Vue.js:

// src/component.spec.ts
import { test } from '@playwright/experimental-ct-vue';
import { Component } from './mycomponent';

test('should work', async ({ mount }) => {
  const component = await mount(Component, {
    hooksConfig: {
      /* anything to configure your app */
    }
  });
});

// playwright/index.ts
import { router } from '../router';
import { beforeMount } from '@playwright/experimental-ct-vue/hooks';

beforeMount(async ({ app, hooksConfig }) => {
  app.use(router);
});

React + Next.js

A similar configuration in Next.js would look like this:

// src/component.spec.jsx
import { test } from '@playwright/experimental-ct-react';
import { Component } from './mycomponent';

test('should work', async ({ mount }) => {
  const component = await mount(<Component></Component>, {
    // Pass mock value from test into `beforeMount`.
    hooksConfig: {
      router: {
        query: { page: 1, per_page: 10 },
        asPath: '/posts'
      }
    }
  });
});

// playwright/index.js
import router from 'next/router';
import { beforeMount } from '@playwright/experimental-ct-react/hooks';

beforeMount(async ({ hooksConfig }) => {
  // Before mount, redefine useRouter to return mock value from test.
  router.useRouter = () => hooksConfig.router;
});
