UI Mode Updates

1. Zoom into time range.
2. Network panel redesign.

New APIs

• [browserContext.on('weberror')][browserContext.on('weberror')]
• [locator.pressSequentially()][locator.pressSequentially()]
• The [reporter.onEnd()][reporter.onEnd()] now reports startTime and total run duration.

Deprecations

• The following methods were deprecated: [page.type()][page.type()], [frame.type()][frame.type()], [locator.type()][locator.type()] and [elementHandle.type()][elementHandle.type()].
  Please use [locator.fill()][locator.fill()] instead which is much faster. Use [locator.pressSequentially()][locator.pressSequentially()] only if there is a
  special keyboard handling on the page, and you need to press keys one-by-one.

Breaking Changes: Playwright no longer downloads browsers automatically

[!NOTE]
If you are using @playwright/test package, this change does not affect you.

Playwright recommends to use @playwright/test package and download browsers via npx playwright install command. If you are following this recommendation, nothing has changed for you.

However, up to v1.38, installing the playwright package instead of @playwright/test did automatically download browsers. This is no longer the case, and we recommend to explicitly download browsers via npx playwright install command.

v1.37 and earlier

playwright package was downloading browsers during npm install, while @playwright/test was not.

v1.38 and later

playwright and @playwright/test packages do not download browsers during npm install.

Recommended migration

Run npx playwright install to download browsers after npm install. For example, in your CI configuration:

- run: npm ci
- run: npx playwright install --with-deps

Alternative migration option - not recommended

Add @playwright/browser-chromium, @playwright/browser-firefox and @playwright/browser-webkit as a dependency. These packages download respective browsers during npm install. Make sure you keep the version of all playwright packages in sync:

// package.json
{
  "devDependencies": {
    "playwright": "1.38.0",
    "@​playwright/browser-chromium": "1.38.0",
    "@​playwright/browser-firefox": "1.38.0",
    "@​playwright/browser-webkit": "1.38.0"
  }

✨ New tool to merge reports

If you run tests on multiple shards, you can now merge all reports in a single HTML report (or any other report)
using the new merge-reports CLI tool.

Using merge-reports tool requires the following steps:

1. Adding a new "blob" reporter to the config when running on CI:

   export default defineConfig({
     testDir: './tests',
     reporter: process.env.CI ? 'blob' : 'html',
   });

   The "blob" reporter will produce ".zip" files that contain all the information
   about the test run.

2. Copying all "blob" reports in a single shared location and running npx playwright merge-reports:

   npx playwright merge-reports --reporter html ./all-blob-reports
