v1.63.0

🪟 Locate across frames

page.frameLocator() and frame.frameLocator() called without a selector search in any frame of the
subtree, so you no longer need to locate the iframe first:

// Finds the button in any frame on the page.
page.frameLocator().getByRole(AriaRole.BUTTON).click();

The rest of the locator resolves inside a single frame, just like a regular locator, and an error is thrown when it
matches elements in several frames.

👁️ Visible-only locators

New locator.visible() returns a locator that matches only visible elements. It is the recommended
replacement for the :visible CSS pseudo-class:

page.locator("button").visible().click();

🖼️ Aria and screen snapshots in traces

New ariaSnapshots and screenSnapshots options of
tracing.start() capture an aria snapshot and a screenshot of the page on every action:

context.tracing().start(new Tracing.StartOptions()
  .setSnapshots(true)
  .setAriaSnapshots(true)
  .setScreenSnapshots(true));

With aria and screen snapshots recorded, the new Display Aria mode in the trace viewer shows the action screenshot
side by side with the aria snapshot, and hovering an aria node highlights it on the screenshot.

☕ Nullability annotations

The public API is now annotated with JSpecify nullability annotations. The
com.microsoft.playwright, com.microsoft.playwright.options and com.microsoft.playwright.assertions packages are
@NullMarked, and values that can be absent are marked @Nullable, so null-checking tools such as NullAway, as well as
Kotlin code, can catch missing null checks at compile time.

New APIs

Browser and Context
Command line
  • mvn exec:java -e -D exec.mainClass=com.microsoft.playwright.CLI -D exec.args="install --no-remove" keeps the browsers of other Playwright installations instead of removing them.
  • mvn exec:java -e -D exec.mainClass=com.microsoft.playwright.CLI -D exec.args="codegen --http-credentials" records against pages behind HTTP authentication.

Announcements

  • ⚠️ Ubuntu 20.04 is not supported anymore.
  • 🐧 On Linux arm64, Playwright now downloads the Chrome for Testing build of Chromium, the same build used on all other platforms.

Browser Versions

  • Chromium 153.0.8010.12
  • Mozilla Firefox 155.0
  • WebKit 26.6

This version was also tested against the following stable channels:

  • Google Chrome 153
  • Microsoft Edge 153

🖼️ WebP screenshots

page.screenshot() and locator.screenshot() can now capture screenshots in the WebP format. Playwright infers the format from a .webp file extension, or you can set the type explicitly. Quality 100 (the default) is lossless, while lower values use lossy compression:

page.screenshot(new Page.ScreenshotOptions()
    .setPath(Paths.get("homepage.webp"))
    .setQuality(50));

New APIs

  • New scroll option ("auto" | "none") on actions to opt out of Playwright's automatic scrolling into view.
  • New locator.waitForFunction() waits until a function called with the matching element returns a truthy value.
  • New apiResponse.timing() returns resource timing information for an API response.

Announcements

  • 📋 The clipboard is now isolated from the operating system in headless mode, so tests that use navigator.clipboard no longer read or overwrite the clipboard of the machine running them.
  • ⚠️ Debian 11 is not supported anymore.

Browser Versions

  • Chromium 151.0.7922.34
  • Mozilla Firefox 153.0
  • WebKit 26.5

This version was also tested against the following stable channels:

  • Google Chrome 151
  • Microsoft Edge 151
