Breaking API Changes

• browserType.launch has changed. Playwright now launches in 3 modes:

  • browserType.launch - default mode for testing. Each test should start with browser.newContext to obtain a clean environment. All new contexts are ephemeral, not persisted into the profile directory. It no longer accepts userDataDir option. There is no notion of the defaultContext anymore.
    (Note: you will still see an empty default context window when you run playwright in the headful mode. This is a side-effect of running the stock browsers. We are working on changing this behavior upstream so that clear Playwright run in this mode has no open windows on launch.)

  • browserType.launchPersistent - default mode for headful operations and those reusing the user profile. Instead of returning the Browser, it returns the BrowserContext loaded from the user data dir right away. It requires userDataDir to be passed as the first parameter.

  • browserType.launchServer - returns a BrowserServer (formerly known as BrowserApp) that can be connected to via the browserType.connect. Multiple clients can connect to the same server. Closing the Browser disconnects from the server. This mode is useful for certain test runner setups.

• Request interception

  page.setRequestInterception is replaced with the page.route. New method accepts the pattern of the urls to be intercepted and handles interception in place, instead of using the page.on('request') event. Note that we intend to move this method into the BrowserContext over time to make sure it affects popup windows.

• Viewport

  • page.setViewport is renamed to page.setViewportSize. It only allows resizing the viewport, does not allow changing it from mobile to desktop on the fly. Old method was making an implicit reload when switching device type and we did not want that to happen.

  • page.viewport() is renamed to page.viewportSize()

New APIs

• new browser.newPage - convenience method that creates a new context and a page inside that context. Closing the page closes the context. Useful when you only run single-page tests in your contexts.

• new page.check() and page.uncheck() - toggle your checkboxes.

• new browserContext.on('close') event - tells when the context is destroyed (disconnected from the server).

• new browserType.downloadBrowserIfNeeded() - when you use playwright-core npm that does not download browser by default, you can use this method to fetch them on demand.

• new frame.frameElement() method

• new page.route - substituted the page.setRequestInterception api.

• new page.viewportSize() - used instead of page.viewport.

In addition to this, all playwright packages now expose the same API and are only different in
the set of browsers they download:

• playwright - downloads all 3 browsers (chromium, webkit & firefox)
• playwright-core - does not download any browsers. Handy together with browserType.downloadBrowserIfNeeded()
• playwright-chromium - downloads only chromium
• playwright-firefox - downloads only firefox
• playwright-webkit - downloads only webkit
