v1.44.0

New APIs

Accessibility assertions

• assertThat(locator).toHaveAccessibleName() checks if the element has the specified accessible name:

  Locator locator = page.getByRole(AriaRole.BUTTON);
  assertThat(locator).hasAccessibleName("Submit");

• assertThat(locator).toHaveAccessibleDescription() checks if the element has the specified accessible description:

  Locator locator = page.getByRole(AriaRole.BUTTON);
  assertThat(locator).hasAccessibleDescription("Upload a photo");

• assertThat(locator).toHaveRole() checks if the element has the specified ARIA role:

  Locator locator = page.getByTestId("save-button");
  assertThat(locator).hasRole(AriaRole.BUTTON);

Locator handler

• After executing the handler added with page.addLocatorHandler(), Playwright will now wait until the overlay that triggered the handler is not visible anymore. You can opt-out of this behavior with the new setNoWaitAfter option.
• You can use new setTimes option in page.addLocatorHandler() to specify maximum number of times the handler should be run.
• The handler in page.addLocatorHandler() now accepts the locator as argument.
• New page.removeLocatorHandler() method for removing previously added locator handlers.

Locator locator = page.getByText("This interstitial covers the button");
page.addLocatorHandler(locator, overlay -> {
  overlay.locator("#close").click();
}, new Page.AddLocatorHandlerOptions().setTimes(3).setNoWaitAfter(true));
// Run your tests that can be interrupted by the overlay.
// ...
page.removeLocatorHandler(locator);

Miscellaneous options

• New method formData.append() allows to specify repeating fields with the same name in setMultipart option in RequestOptions:

  FormData formData = FormData.create();
  formData.append("file", new FilePayload("f1.js", "text/javascript",
  "var x = 2024;".getBytes(StandardCharsets.UTF_8)));
  formData.append("file", new FilePayload("f2.txt", "text/plain",
    "hello".getBytes(StandardCharsets.UTF_8)));
