Summary

🌐 HAR recording on Tracing tracing.startHar() / tracing.stopHar() expose HAR recording as a first-class tracing API, with the same content , mode and urlFilter options as recordHar . The returned Disposable makes it easy to scope a recording with await using : await using har = await context . tracing . startHar ( 'trace.har' ) ; const page = await context . newPage ( ) ; await page . goto ( 'https://playwright.dev' ) ; // HAR is finalized when `har` goes out of scope. 🪝 Drop API New locator.drop() simulates an external drag-and-drop of files or clipboard-like data onto an element. Playwright dispatches dragenter , dragover , and drop with a synthetic [DataTransfer] in the page context — works cross-browser and is great for testing upload zones: await page . locator ( '#dropzone' ) . drop ( { files : { name : 'note.txt' , mimeType : 'text/plain' , buffer : Buffer . from ( 'hello' ) } , } ) ; await page . locator ( '#dropzone' ) . drop ( { data : { 'text/plain' : 'hello world' , 'text/uri-list' : 'https://example.com' , } , } ) ; 🎯 Aria snapshots expect(page).toMatchAriaSnapshot() now works on a Page , in addition to a Locator — equivalent to asserting against page.locator('body') . New boxes option on locator.ariaSnapshot() / page.ariaSnapshot() appends each element's bounding box as [box=x,y,width,height] , useful for AI consumption. 🛑 test.abort() New test.abort() aborts the currently running test from a fixture, hook, or route handler with an optional message. Use it when you have detected an unrecoverable misuse and want to fail the test right away: { await page.route('**/publish', route => { test.abort('Tests must not publish to the shared page. Use the `clone` option.'); return route.abort(); }); // ... });"> test ( 'does not publish to the shared page' , async ( { page } ) => { await page . route ( '**/publish' , route => { test . abort ( 'Tests must not publish to the shared page. Use the `clone` option.' ) ; return route . abort ( ) ; } ) ; // ... } ) ; New APIs Browser, Context and Page Event browser.on('context') — fired when a new context is created on the browser. BrowserContext now mirrors lifecycle events from its pages: browserContext.on('download') , browserContext.on('frameattached') , browserContext.on('framedetached') , browserContext.on('framenavigated') , browserContext.on('pageclose') , browserContext.on('pageload') . Locators and Assertions New option description in page.getByRole() / locator.getByRole() / frame.getByRole() / frameLocator.getByRole() for matching the accessible description . New option pseudo in expect(locator).toHaveCSS() reads computed styles from ::before or ::after . New option style in locator.highlight() applies extra inline CSS to the highlight overlay, plus new page.hideHighlight() to clear all highlights. Network webSocketRoute.protocols() returns the WebSocket subprotocols requested by the page. New option noDefaults in browserType.connectOverCDP() disables Playwright's default overrides on the default context (download behavior, focus emulation, media emulation), so attaching to a user's daily-driver browser doesn't disturb its state. Errors and Reporting New webError.location() mirrors consoleMessage.location() . consoleMessage.location() now exposes line / column properties ( lineNumber / columnNumber are deprecated). New testInfoError.errorContext surfaces additional diagnostic context, such as the aria snapshot of the receiver at the time of an expect(...) matcher failure. reporter.onError() now receives a workerInfo argument with details about the worker for fixture teardown errors. Test runner New {testFileBaseName} token in testProject.snapshotPathTemplate — file name without extension. Test runner now errors when a config tries to override a non-option fixture, and rejects workers: 0 or negative values. 🛠️ Other improvements HTML reporter: npx playwright show-report accepts .zip files directly — no need to unzip first. Steps that contain attachments inside nested children show an indicator on the parent step. The repeatEachIndex is shown in the test header when non-zero. Trace Viewer adds a pretty-print toggle for JSON / form request and response bodies in the network details panel. Breaking Changes ⚠️ Removed long-deprecated APIs: Locator.ariaRef() — use the standard locator.ariaSnapshot() pipeline. handle option on BrowserContext.exposeBinding and Page.exposeBinding . logger option on BrowserType.connect and BrowserType.connectOverCDP — use tracing instead. Context options videosPath / videoSize — use recordVideo instead.
