v1.62.0

🖼️ WebP screenshots

page.screenshot() and locator.screenshot() can now capture screenshots in the WebP format — Playwright infers the format from a .webp file extension, or you can set the type explicitly. Quality 100 (the default) is lossless, while lower values use lossy compression:

await Page.ScreenshotAsync(new() { Path = "homepage.webp", Quality = 50 });

New APIs

• New Scroll option (Auto | None) on actions to opt out of Playwright's automatic scroll-into-view.
• New Locator.WaitForFunctionAsync() waits until a function — called with the matching element — returns a truthy value.
• New APIResponse.TimingAsync() returns resource timing information for an API response.

Announcements

• 📋 The clipboard is now isolated from the operating system in headless mode, so tests that use navigator.clipboard no longer read or overwrite the clipboard of the machine running them.
• ⚠️ Debian 11 is not supported anymore.
