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
recordHarwhile 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
proxyoption on the new context.

🚀 playwright-cli is now public!
Playwright Command Line Interface can:
-
Open pages in Chromium, Firefox and WebKit (Safari) on all platforms
$ npx playwright-cli open wikipedia.org
-
Record user interactions and generate Playwright scripts
$ npx playwright-cli codegen wikipedia.org
- multi-page scenarios
- text-based selectors
- downloads, uploads
- many more!
-
Emulate devices, color schemes, geolocation, etc
$ npx playwright-cli --device="iPhone 11" open wikipedia.org -
Use DevTools console to inspect Playwright selectors
> playwright.inspect('text=Log in') -
Generate page screenshots and PDFs
$ npx playwright-cli screenshot --help
🎥 Record videos (experimental)
Record videos of your scripts, every page and popup is captured!
const fs = require('fs');
const { chromium } = require('playwright');
(async () => {
const browser = await chromium.launch({
_videosPath: __dirname // save videos here.
});
const context = await browser.newContext({
_recordVideos: { width: 1024, height: 768 }, // downscale
});
const page = await context.newPage();
const video = await page.waitForEvent('_videostarted');
await page.goto('https://github.com/microsoft/playwright');
// ... perform actions
await page.close();
fs.renameSync(await video.path(), 'video.webm');
await browser.close();
})();☁ New Client / Server Wire protocol
In the last release, we introduced an internal protocol to support Playwright in the none-Node environments. It is already used in the Playwright for Python as well as in third party PlaywrightSharp and Playwright for Go implementations.
With v1.4, we are taking it one step further and migrate Node version of the library along with its client-server mode to be based on this new protocol. So if you are using browserType.connect against cloud services or internally, you need to make sure that the service is also updated to v1.4 before you can use it.
