Trace Viewer Improvements

  • New 'system' theme option follows your OS dark/light mode preference
  • Search functionality (Cmd/Ctrl+F) is now available in code editors
  • Network details panel has been reorganized for better usability
  • JSON responses are now automatically formatted for readability

Thanks to @​cpAdm for contributing these improvements!

Miscellaneous

browser_type.connect_over_cdp() now accepts an is_local option. When set to True, it tells Playwright that it runs on the same host as the CDP server, enabling file system optimizations.

Breaking Changes ⚠️

  • Removed _react and _vue selectors. See locators guide for alternatives.
  • Removed :light selector engine suffix. Use standard CSS selectors instead.
  • Option devtools from browser_type.launch() has been removed. Use args=['--auto-open-devtools-for-tabs'] instead.
  • Removed macOS 13 support for WebKit. We recommend to upgrade your macOS version, or keep using an older Playwright version.

Browser Versions

  • Chromium 145.0.7632.6
  • Mozilla Firefox 146.0.1
  • WebKit 26.0

This version was also tested against the following stable channels:

  • Google Chrome 144
  • Microsoft Edge 144

v1.57.0

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.

new and old logo

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.on("console") event is emitted when JavaScript within the worker calls one of console API methods, e.g. console.log or console.dir. worker.expect_event() can be used to wait for it.
  • locator.description() returns locator description previously set with locator.describe().
  • New option steps in locator.click() and locator.drag_to() that configures the number of mousemove events emitted while moving the mouse pointer to the target element.
  • Network requests issued by Service Workers are now reported and can be routed through the BrowserContext, only in Chromium. You can opt out using the PLAYWRIGHT_DISABLE_SERVICE_WORKER_NETWORK environment variable.
  • Console messages from Service Workers are dispatched through worker.on("console"). You can opt out of this using the PLAYWRIGHT_DISABLE_SERVICE_WORKER_CONSOLE environment variable.

Browser Versions

  • Chromium 143.0.7499.4
  • Mozilla Firefox 144.0.2
  • WebKit 26.0
