🧰 WebMCP
New page.webmcp and frame.webmcp give access to the tools that a page registers through the experimental WebMCP browser API, so you can test them like any other part of your app:
Playwright MCP also supports WebMCP by default, with page-defined tools offered to the agent as
webmcp_<tool>. Pass--no-webmcpto opt out.playwright-cliexposes them as well:🎬 Better videos
Videos can now be recorded at a custom frame rate, and the decorations for actions are styled with plain CSS:
fpsoption in testOptions.video,recordVideoandscreencast.start(). Firefox and WebKit currently capture up to 25 frames per second.
styleoption takes CSS declarations for thepointmarker, the targethighlightand the actiontitle. It replaces thefontSizeoption, which is now deprecated.quality.
playwright-cli.🎯 Test runner
New testProject.default option keeps a project in the config without running it by default. You can configure every browser you care about, and let a plain
npx playwright testrun just your favourite one:New
--shufflecommand line option schedules tests in a random order, which helps to find tests that accidentally depend on each other.New
lockoption in test.describe.configure() adds test locks to all tests in a file or a group:New
typeoption oftoHaveScreenshotin testConfig.expect stores all unnamed screenshots as WebP:🪆 Locator.within()
New locator.within() combines two locators that you already have, reading in the natural order —
"this button, within that dialog":
Relative locators such as locator.nth() or locator.first() are resolved inside each parent
separately, which makes column-like queries straightforward:
New APIs
New page.getByRef() locates an element by its aria ref, such as
e2, reported by page.ariaSnapshot() in the'ai'mode.New option
includeShadowin page.content() and frame.content() serializes open shadow roots as declarative shadow DOM.New option
signCountsets the initial signature counter of a virtual credential. credentials.create() and credentials.get() return the currentsignCount, and it is saved and restored together with the credentials in the storage state.New fullConfig.filteredProjects lists the projects that were selected to run after applying the
--projectfilter. It is available in global setup and reporters.New apiRequestContext.addCookies(), apiRequestContext.cookies() and apiRequestContext.clearCookies() manage cookies of a request context, mirroring the BrowserContext methods:
Breaking changes ⚠️
screenproperty is now forwarded from the device descriptors. If you use...devices['Desktop Chrome']and alike,window.screenand media queries now see the emulated screen size. You can opt-out by explicitly settingscreentoundefined:JSX in your test files now follows your
tsconfig.json. Playwright compiles JSX in test files according to thejsx,jsxFactory,jsxFragmentFactoryandjsxImportSourcetsconfig options, and defaults to the automatic runtime fromreact/jsx-runtime.--update-snapshots=missingnow passes the test run. Tests that only create missing snapshots now pass in the'missing'mode of testConfig.updateSnapshots, so that CI can generate new snapshots and verify the existing ones in a single run. The mode used when the option is not specified is now called'default'and behaves as before: missing snapshots are written and the test fails.Elements inside hidden iframes are considered hidden. Elements inside an iframe that is not visible, for example with
visibility: hidden, are now considered hidden by actions, locator.isVisible() and expect(locator).toBeVisible().Browser Versions
This version was also tested against the following stable channels:

🔒 Test locks
Tests that access a shared resource — an external service, a global account setting — can now declare a named
lock.Tests that share a lock name never run concurrently, across files, workers and projects, while
everything else keeps running in parallel:
A test can hold multiple locks, and test.describe() accepts a
lockfor the whole group.Learn more about test locks.
🪟 Locate across frames
page.frameLocator() and frame.frameLocator() called without a selector search in any frame of the
subtree, so you no longer need to locate the iframe first:
The rest of the locator resolves inside a single frame, just like a regular locator, and an error is thrown when it
matches elements in several frames.
👁️ Visible-only locators
New locator.visible() returns a locator that matches only visible elements. It is the recommended
replacement for the
:visibleCSS pseudo-class:🧾 Step params and subtitles
Steps now carry structured data for reporters. Playwright API steps report the target locator and call arguments,
and test.step() accepts
subtitleandparamsoptions for your own steps:Reporters receive them via testStep.subtitle and testStep.params. For Playwright API
steps, the subtitle is the locator or the navigation url — for example,
Clickwith subtitlegetByRole('button').Both are rendered next to the step title in the trace viewer and the HTML report.
🖼️ Aria and screen snapshots in traces
The
snapshotsoption of tracing.start() and the testOptions.trace fixture option now accept anobject selecting what to capture on every action:
With aria and screen snapshots recorded, the new Display Aria mode in the trace viewer shows the action screenshot
side by side with the aria snapshot, and hovering an aria node highlights it on the screenshot.
New APIs
Browser and Context
httpCredentialsnow also accepts an array of credentials. The first entry matching the request origin is used, and entries without an origin match any request.opfsincludes the origin private file system in the storage state, so it can be persisted and restored into later contexts.Locators

@playwright/experimental-ct-react,@playwright/experimental-ct-react17and@playwright/experimental-ct-vuepackages will no longer be updated. Follow the migration guide to move to the stories model introduced in 1.62. Story ids passed to fixtures.mount() can now be typed through the generatedStoriesregistry.Browser Versions

🧱 New component testing model
Component testing moves to a stories and galleries model.
A story wraps your component in one specific scenario — hard-coded props, mock data, providers — and a gallery page that you serve renders stories on demand.
The new fixtures.mount() fixture navigates to the gallery, mounts a story by id, and returns a Locator scoped to the story's root element:
Pass a story type as a template argument to type-check its props, and use
update(props)/unmount()on the returned locator to re-render or tear down within a test.🛑 Cancel operations with AbortSignal
Most operations and web-first assertions now accept a
signaloption that takes anAbortSignal, letting you cancel long-running actions, navigations, waits, and assertions:Providing a signal does not disable the default timeout; pass
timeout: 0to disable it.🖼️ WebP screenshots
expect(page).toHaveScreenshot() and expect(locator).toHaveScreenshot() can now store snapshots in the WebP format — just give the snapshot a
.webpname:page.screenshot() and [locator.screenshot() (https://playwright.dev/docs/api/class-locator#locator-screenshot) also accept
webpas atype, where quality100(the default) is lossless and lower values use lossy compression.🧩 Custom test filtering with Reporter.preprocess()
New reporter.preprocess() hook runs after the configuration is resolved and before reporter.onBegin(), letting a reporter mark individual tests as skipped, excluded, fixed, or failing through a TestRun object:
🔁 Isolated retries
New testConfig.retryStrategy controls when failed tests are retried.
The default
