Playwright - v1.21.0

Highlights

• New experimental role selectors that allow selecting elements by their ARIA role, ARIA attributes and accessible name.

js // Click a button with accessible name "log in" await page.click('role=button[name="log in"]')

To use role selectors, make sure to pass PLAYWRIGHT_EXPERIMENTAL_FEATURES=1 environment variable:

js // playwright.config.js process.env.PLAYWRIGHT_EXPERIMENTAL_FEATURES = '1'; module.exports = { /* ... */ };

- New scale option in Page.screenshot for smaller sized screenshots.
- New caret option in Page.screenshot to control text caret. Defaults to "hide".

• New method expect.poll to wait for an arbitrary condition:

js // Poll the method until it returns an expected result. await expect.poll(async () => { const response = await page.request.get('https://api.example.com'); return response.status(); }).toBe(200);

expect.poll supports most synchronous matchers, like .toBe(), .toContain(), etc.

  as a Playwright-ready docker image with pre-installed Python.
