New APIs

• New method Route.fetch:

    // Fetch original settings.
    APIResponse response = route.fetch();
    // Force settings theme to a predefined value.
    String body = response.text().replace("\"theme\":\"default\"",
      "\"theme\":\"Solorized\"");
    // Fulfill with modified data.
    route.fulfill(new Route.FulfillOptions().setResponse(response).setBody(body));
  });

• New method Locator.all to iterate over all matching elements:

  // Check all checkboxes!
  Locator checkboxes = page.getByRole(AriaRole.CHECKBOX);
  for (Locator checkbox : checkboxes.all())
    checkbox.check();

• Locator.selectOption matches now by value or label:

  <select multiple>

v1.27.0

Highlights

Locators

With these new APIs writing locators is a joy:

• Page.getByText(text, options) to locate by text content.
• Page.getByRole(role, options) to locate by ARIA role, ARIA attributes and accessible name.
• Page.getByLabel(label, options) to locate a form control by associated label's text.
• Page.getByTestId(testId) to locate an element based on its data-testid attribute (other attribute can be configured).
• Page.getByPlaceholder(placeholder, options) to locate an input by placeholder.
• Page.getByAltText(altText, options) to locate an element, usually image, by its text alternative.
• Page.getByTitle(title, options) to locate an element by its title.

page.getByLabel("User Name").fill("John");

page.getByLabel("Password").fill("secret-password");

page.getByRole(AriaRole.BUTTON, new Page.GetByRoleOptions().setName("Sign in")).click();

assertThat(page.getByText("Welcome, John!")).isVisible();

All the same methods are also available on Locator, FrameLocator and Frame classes.

Other highlights

• As announced in v1.25, Ubuntu 18 will not be supported as of Dec 2022. In addition to that, there will be no WebKit updates on Ubuntu 18 starting from the next Playwright release.

Behavior Changes

• expect(locator).hasAttribute(name, value, options) with an empty value does not match missing attribute anymore. For example, the following snippet will succeed when button does not have a disabled attribute.

  assertThat(page.getByRole(AriaRole.BUTTON)).hasAttribute("disabled", "");

Browser Versions

• Chromium 107.0.5304.18
• Mozilla Firefox 105.0.1
• WebKit 16.0

This version was also tested against the following stable channels:

• Google Chrome 106
• Microsoft Edge 106

v1.26.1

Highlights

This patch includes the following bug fixes (they were reported in Playwright Python but manifested themselves in Java too):

microsoft/playwright-python#1561 - [Question]: 'c:\Users\ASUS' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.
microsoft/playwright-python#1565 - [BUG] AttributeError: 'PlaywrightContextManager' object has no attribute '_playwright

Browser Versions

• Chromium 106.0.5249.30
• Mozilla Firefox 104.0
• WebKit 16.0

This version was also tested against the following stable channels:

• Google Chrome 105
• Microsoft Edge 105

v1.26.0

Highlights

Assertions

• LocatorAssertions.hasText() now pierces open shadow roots.
• New option setEditable for LocatorAssertions.isEditable().
• New option setEnabled for LocatorAssertions.isEnabled().
• New option setVisible for LocatorAssertions.isVisible().

Other highlights

• New option setMaxRedirects for APIRequestContext.get() and others to limit redirect count.
• Docker images are now using OpenJDK 17.

Behavior Change

A bunch of Playwright APIs already support the setWaitUntil(WaitUntilState.DOMCONTENTLOADED) option.
For example:

page.navigate("https://playwright.dev", new Page.NavigateOptions().setWaitUntil(WaitUntilState.DOMCONTENTLOADED));

Prior to 1.26, this would wait for all iframes to fire the DOMContentLoaded event.

To align with web specification, the WaitUntilState.DOMCONTENTLOADED value only waits for the target frame to fire the 'DOMContentLoaded' event. Use setWaitUntil(WaitUntilState.LOAD) to wait for all iframes.
