v1.28

Playwright Tools

• Record at Cursor in VSCode. You can run the test, position the cursor at the end of the test and continue generating the test.

• Live Locators in VSCode. You can hover and edit locators in VSCode to get them highlighted in the opened browser.
• Live Locators in CodeGen. Generate a locator for any element on the page using "Explore" tool.

• Codegen and Trace Viewer Dark Theme. Automatically picked up from operating system settings.

Test Runner

• Configure retries and test timeout for a file or a test with test.describe.configure([options]).

  // Each test in the file will be retried twice and have a timeout of 20 seconds.
  test.describe.configure({ retries: 2, timeout: 20_000 });
  test('runs first', async ({ page }) => {});
  test('runs second', async ({ page }) => {});

• Use testProject.snapshotPathTemplate and testConfig.snapshotPathTemplate to configure a template controlling location of snapshots generated by expect(page).toHaveScreenshot(name[, options]) and expect(screenshot).toMatchSnapshot(name[, options]).

  // playwright.config.ts
  import type { PlaywrightTestConfig } from '@playwright/test';
  
  const config: PlaywrightTestConfig = {
    testDir: './tests',
    snapshotPathTemplate: '{testDir}/__screenshots__/{testFilePath}/{arg}{ext}',
  };
  
  export default config;
