v1.31.0

New APIs

• New property TestProject.dependencies to configure dependencies between projects.

  Using dependencies allows global setup to produce traces and other artifacts,
  see the setup steps in the test report and more.

  // playwright.config.ts
  import { defineConfig } from '@playwright/test';
  
  export default defineConfig({
    projects: [
      {
        name: 'setup',
        testMatch: /global.setup\.ts/,
      },
      {
        name: 'chromium',
        use: devices['Desktop Chrome'],
        dependencies: ['setup'],
      },
      {
        name: 'firefox',
        use: devices['Desktop Firefox'],
        dependencies: ['setup'],
      },
      {
        name: 'webkit',
        use: devices['Desktop Safari'],
        dependencies: ['setup'],
      },
    ],
  });

• New assertion expect(locator).toBeInViewport() ensures that locator points to an element that intersects viewport, according to the intersection observer API.

  const button = page.getByRole('button');
  
  // Make sure at least some part of element intersects viewport.
  await expect(button).toBeInViewport();
  
  // Make sure element is fully outside of viewport.
  await expect(button).not.toBeInViewport();
  
  // Make sure that at least half of the element intersects viewport.
  await expect(button).toBeInViewport({ ratio: 0.5 });

Miscellaneous

• DOM snapshots in trace viewer can be now opened in a separate window.
• New method defineConfig to be used in playwright.config.
• New option maxRedirects for method Route.fetch.
• Playwright now supports Debian 11 arm64.
• Official docker images now include Node 18 instead of Node 16.

⚠️ Breaking change in component tests

Note: component tests only, does not affect end-to-end tests.

playwright-ct.config configuration file for component testing now requires calling defineConfig.

// Before

import { type PlaywrightTestConfig, devices } from '@playwright/experimental-ct-react';
const config: PlaywrightTestConfig = {
  // ... config goes here ...
};
export default config;

Replace config variable definition with defineConfig call:

// After

import { defineConfig, devices } from '@playwright/experimental-ct-react';
export default defineConfig({
  // ... config goes here ...
});
