Test Generator Update

New tools to generate assertions:

• "Assert visibility" tool generates expect(locator).to_be_visible().
• "Assert value" tool generates expect(locator).to_have_value(value).
• "Assert text" tool generates expect(locator).to_contain_text(expected).

Here is an example of a generated test with assertions:

from playwright.sync_api import Page, expect

def test_example(page: Page) -> None:
    page.goto("https://playwright.dev/")
    page.get_by_role("link", name="Get started").click()
    expect(page.get_by_label("Breadcrumbs").get_by_role("list")).to_contain_text("Installation")
    expect(page.get_by_label("Search")).to_be_visible()
    page.get_by_label("Search").click()
    page.get_by_placeholder("Search docs").fill("locator")
    expect(page.get_by_placeholder("Search docs")).to_have_value("locator");

New APIs

• Option reason in page.close([options]), browserContext.close([options]) and browser.close([options]). Close reason is reported for all operations interrupted by the closure.
• Option firefox_user_prefs in browserType.launch_persistent_context(userDataDir[, options]).

Other Changes

  special keyboard handling on the page, and you need to press keys one-by-one.
