    ✨ Enhancements

    🍱 ⚙️ Identify the Browser and Platform in Test Code (#481)

    ✅ TestCafe now allows you to obtain information about the current user agent. These data identify the operating system, platform type, browser, engine, etc.

    📚 Use the t.browser property to access user agent data.

    import { Selector } from 'testcafe'; fixture `My fixture` .page `https://example.com`;test('My test', async t =\> { if (t.browser.name !== 'Chrome') await t.expect(Selector('div').withText('Browser not supported').visible).ok(); });

    📚 The t.browser object exposes the following properties:

    Property Type Description Example
    📚 alias String The browser alias string specified when tests were launched.
    📚 name String The browser name.
    📚 version String The browser version.
    📚 platform String The platform type.
    📚 headless Boolean true if the browser runs in headless mode.
    📚 os Object The name and version of the operating system.
    📚 engine Object The name and version of the browser engine.
    📚 userAgent String The user agent string.
    📚 prettyUserAgent String Formatted string with the browser's and operating system's name and version.

    📚 The following example shows how to create a beforeEach hook that runs for specific browser engines.

    import { Selector } from 'testcafe'; fixture `My fixture` .page `https://example.com` .beforeEach(async t =\> { if (t.browser.engine.name === 'Blink') return; // ... });

    📚 You can also use t.browser to generate the screenshot path based on the browser name. This prevents screenshots taken with t.takeElementScreenshot in different browsers from being overwritten.

    import { Selector } from 'testcafe'; fixture `My fixture` .page `https://example.com`;test('My test', async t =\> { const loginButton = Selector('div').withText('Login'); await t.takeElementScreenshot(loginButton, `auth/${t.browser.name}/login-button.png`); });
