Playwright - v1.22.0

Introducing Component Testing (preview)

Playwright Test can now test your React, Vue.js or Svelte components. You can use all the features of Playwright Test (such as parallelization, emulation & debugging) while running components in real browsers.

Here is what a typical component test looks like:

// App.spec.tsx
import { test, expect } from '@playwright/experimental-ct-react';
import App from './App';

// Let's test component in a dark scheme!
test.use({ colorScheme: 'dark' });

test('should render', async ({ mount }) => {
  const component = await mount(<App></App>);

  // As with any Playwright test, assert locator text.
  await expect(component).toContainText('React');
  // Or do a screenshot 🚀
  await expect(component).toHaveScreenshot();
  // Or use any Playwright method
  await component.click();
});

Locators Update

• Role selectors allow selecting elements by their ARIA role, ARIA attributes and accessible name.

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

  Read more in our documentation.

• New locator.filter([options]) API to filter an existing locator
  ts const buttons = page.locator('role=button'); // ... const submitButton = buttons.filter({ hasText: 'Submit' }); await submitButton.click();

Screenshots Update

New web-first assertions expect(page).toHaveScreenshot() and expect(locator).toHaveScreenshot() that wait for screenshot stabilization and enhances test reliability.

The new assertions has screenshot-specific defaults, such as:

• disables animations
• uses CSS scale option

await page.goto('https://playwright.dev');
await expect(page).toHaveScreenshot();

The new expect(page).toHaveScreenshot() saves screenshots at the same location as expect(screenshot).toMatchSnapshot().
