Playwright v1.6.0 Release Notes

Release Date: 2020-11-12 // over 3 years ago

  • Highlights

    Touch

    • 💻 Use page.tap() to automate native tap events. Like other input events, taps auto-wait for the UI element and actionability checks.

    Network

    • WebSocket inspection : Use page.on('websocket') and the new WebSocket class to inspect WebSocket connections.
    • HAR export : Capture and export all the network activity as a HAR file. Pass recordHar while creating new browser contexts.
    • Resource timing : Use request.timing() to retrieve and analyze timing data for the network requests.
    • 💻 Proxy for browser context : Network proxy settings can now be configured per browser contexts with the proxy option on the new context.

    Playwright CLI

    • CLI codegen can now generate C# code. Run npx playwright-cli codegen --target=csharp to try!

    💻 Browser Versions

    • Chromium 88.0.4316.0
    • Mozilla Firefox 83.0b8
    • WebKit 14.0
