New option
credentialsincludes the context's virtual WebAuthn Credentials (passkeys) in the storage state, so they can be persisted and re-seeded into later contexts.New
scrolloption ("auto"|"none") on actions to opt out of Playwright's automatic scroll-into-view.
New component testing model
Component testing moves to a stories and galleries model.
A story wraps your component in one specific scenario — hard-coded props, mock data, providers — and a gallery page that you serve renders stories on demand.
The new fixtures.mount() fixture navigates to the gallery, mounts a story by id, and returns a Locator scoped to the story's root element:test('click should expand', async ({ mount }) => { const component = await mount('components/Expandable/Stateful'); await component.getByRole('button').click(); await expect(component.getByTestId('expanded')).toHaveValue('true'); });Pass a story type as a template argument to type-check its props, and use
update(props)/unmount()on the returned locator to re-render or tear down within a test.Cancel operations with AbortSignal
Most operations and web-first assertions now accept a
signaloption that takes anAbortSignal, letting you cancel long-running actions, navigations, waits, and assertions:const controller = new AbortController(); setTimeout(() => controller.abort(), 1000); await page.getByRole('button', { name: 'Submit' }).click({ signal: controller.signal }); await expect(page.getByText('Done')).toBeVisible({ signal: controller.signal });Providing a signal does not disable the default timeout; pass
timeout: 0to disable it.WebP screenshots
expect(page).toHaveScreenshot() and expect(locator).toHaveScreenshot() can now store snapshots in the WebP format — just give the snapshot a
.webpname:// Visual comparisons store the golden snapshot as lossless WebP. await expect(page).toHaveScreenshot('homepage.webp'); // Standalone screenshots can trade quality for size with lossy WebP. await page.screenshot({ path: 'homepage.webp', quality: 50 });page.screenshot() and [locator.screenshot() (playwright.dev/docs/api/class-locator) also accept
webpas atype, where quality100(the default) is lossless and lower values use lossy compression.Custom test filtering with Reporter.preprocess()
New reporter.preprocess() hook runs after the configuration is resolved and before reporter.onBegin(), letting a reporter mark individual tests as skipped, excluded, fixed, or failing through a TestRun object:
class MyReporter { async preprocess({ config, suite, testRun }) { for (const test of suite.allTests()) { if (shouldSkip(test)) testRun.skip(test); } } }Isolated retries
New testConfig.retryStrategy controls when failed tests are retried.
The default'immediate'retries as soon as a worker is free;'isolated'runs all retries at the end, one by one in a single worker, to minimize interference with the rest of the suite:// playwright.config.ts export default defineConfig({ retries: 2, retryStrategy: 'isolated', });New APIs
Browser and Context
New option
credentialsincludes the context's virtual WebAuthn Credentials (passkeys) in the storage state, so they can be persisted and re-seeded into later contexts.
Actions
New
scrolloption ("auto"|"none") on actions to opt out of Playwright's automatic scroll-into-view.
Network
New apiResponse.timing() returns resource timing information for an API response.
Evaluation
New locator.waitForFunction() waits until a function — called with the matching element — returns a truthy value.
page.evaluate() and related methods now accept functions as evaluate arguments.
page.addInitScript() / browserContext.addInitScript() now accept functions as init-script arguments.
Command line & MCP
Playwright now bundles the Playwright MCP server and
playwright-cli, runnable vianpx playwright mcpandnpx playwright cli.
Reporters
The HTML report's Merge files grouping — previously only a UI toggle — can now be enabled from the config with the new
mergeFilesreporter option:
// playwright.config.ts export default defineConfig({ reporter: [['html', { mergeFiles: true }]], });Announcements
