Prerelease: no

Release notes:

Chrome for Testing

Starting with this release, Playwright switches from Chromium, to using Chrome for Testing builds. Both headed and headless browsers are subject to this. Your tests should still be passing after upgrading to Playwright 1.57.

We're expecting no functional changes to come from this switch. The biggest change is the new icon and title in your toolbar.

If you still see an unexpected behaviour change, please file an issue.

On Arm64 Linux, Playwright continues to use Chromium.

Breaking Change

After 3 years of being deprecated, we removed Page.Accessibility from our API. Please use other libraries such as Axe if you need to test page accessibility. See our Node.js guide for integration with Axe.

New APIs

• Worker.Console event is emitted when JavaScript within the worker calls one of console API methods, e.g. console.log or console.dir.
• Locator.Description returns locator description previously set with Locator.Describe().
• New option `Steps` in Locator.ClickAsync() and Locator.DragToAsync() that configures the number of mousemove events emitted while moving the mouse pointer to the target element.

Browser Versions

• Chromium 143.0.7499.4
• Mozilla Firefox 144.0.2
• WebKit 26.0
