Sourced from playwright's releases.

v1.50.0

Test runner

• New option timeout allows specifying a maximum run time for an individual test step. A timed-out step will fail the execution of the test.

  test('some test', async ({ page }) => {
    await test.step('a step', async () => {
      // This step can time out separately from the test
    }, { timeout: 1000 });
  });

• New method test.step.skip() to disable execution of a test step.

  test('some test', async ({ page }) => {
    await test.step('before running step', async () => {
      // Normal step
    });
  await test.step.skip('not yet ready', async () => {
  // This step is skipped
  });
  await test.step('after running step', async () => {
  // This step still runs even though the previous one was skipped
  });
  });

• Expanded expect(locator).toMatchAriaSnapshot() to allow storing of aria snapshots in separate YAML files.

• Added method expect(locator).toHaveAccessibleErrorMessage() to assert the Locator points to an element with a given aria errormessage.

• Option testConfig.updateSnapshots added the configuration enum changed. changed updates only the snapshots that have changed, whereas all now updates all snapshots, regardless of whether there are any differences.

• New option testConfig.updateSourceMethod defines the way source code is updated when testConfig.updateSnapshots is configured. Added overwrite and 3-way modes that write the changes into source code, on top of existing patch mode that creates a patch file.

  npx playwright test --update-snapshots=changed --update-source-method=3way

• Option testConfig.webServer added a gracefulShutdown field for specifying a process kill signal other than the default SIGKILL.

• Exposed testStep.attachments from the reporter API to allow retrieval of all attachments created by that step.

UI updates

• Updated default HTML reporter to improve display of attachments.
• New button for picking elements to produce aria snapshots.
• Additional details (such as keys pressed) are now displayed alongside action API calls in traces.
• Display of canvas content in traces is error-prone. Display is now disabled by default, and can be enabled via the Display canvas content UI setting.
• Call and Network panels now display additional time information.
