Test Generator Update

New tools to generate assertions:

• "Assert visibility" tool generates Expect(locator).ToBeVisibleAsync([options]).
• "Assert value" tool generates Expect(locator).ToHaveValueAsync(value[, options]).
• "Assert text" tool generates Expect(locator).ToContainTextAsync(expected).

Here is an example of a generated test with assertions:

await Page.GotoAsync("https://playwright.dev/");
await Page.GetByRole(AriaRole.Link, new() { Name = "Get started" }).ClickAsync();
await Expect(Page.GetByLabel("Breadcrumbs").GetByRole(AriaRole.List)).ToContainTextAsync("Installation");
await Expect(Page.GetByLabel("Search")).ToBeVisibleAsync();
await Page.GetByLabel("Search").ClickAsync();
await Page.GetByPlaceholder("Search docs").FillAsync("locator");
await Expect(Page.GetByPlaceholder("Search docs")).ToHaveValueAsync("locator");

New APIs

• Option Reason in Page.CloseAsync([options]), BrowserContext.CloseAsync([options]) and Browser.CloseAsync([options]). Close reason is reported for all operations interrupted by the closure.
• Option FirefoxUserPrefs in browserType.launchPersistentContext(userDataDir[, options]).

Other Changes

• Methods download.PathAsync() throw an error for failed and cancelled downloads.
• Playwright docker image now comes with .NET 8 (new LTS).

Potential breaking changes

When using Microsoft.Playwright.MSTest or Microsoft.Playwright.NUnit, Locale and ColorScheme were taken from the operating system as a default. After v1.40, its now aligned with Playwright for Node.js to en-US and light. In order to opt-in for the previous behaviour, the ContextOptions method can be overidden.

using Microsoft.Playwright.NUnit;

namespace PlaywrightTests;

[Parallelizable(ParallelScope.Self)]
[TestFixture]
public class MyTest : PageTest
{
    public override BrowserNewContextOptions ContextOptions()
    {
        return new BrowserNewContextOptions()
        {
            Locale = "en-GB",
            ColorScheme = ColorScheme.Light,
        };
    }
}

Trace Viewer Updates

1. Zoom into time range.

New APIs

• BrowserContext.WebError
• Locator.PressSequentiallyAsync()

Deprecations

• The following methods were deprecated: Page.TypeAsync(), Frame.TypeAsync(), Locator.TypeAsync() and ElementHandle.TypeAsync().
  Please use Locator.FillAsync() instead which is much faster. Use Locator.PressSequentiallyAsync() only if there is a
  special keyboard handling on the page, and you need to press keys one-by-one.
