🔑 WebAuthn passkeys New Credentials virtual authenticator, available via browserContext.credentials , lets tests register passkeys and answer navigator.credentials.create() / navigator.credentials.get() ceremonies in the page — no real hardware key required, works in all browsers: const context = await browser . newContext ( ) ; // Seed a passkey your backend provisioned for a test user. await context . credentials . create ( 'example.com' , { id : credentialId , userHandle , privateKey , publicKey , } ) ; await context . credentials . install ( ) ; const page = await context . newPage ( ) ; await page . goto ( 'https://example.com/login' ) ; // The page's navigator.credentials.get() is answered with the seeded passkey. You can also let the app register a passkey once in a setup test, read it back with credentials.get() , and seed it into later tests — see Credentials for details. 🗃️ Web Storage New WebStorage API, available via page.localStorage and page.sessionStorage , reads and writes the page's storage for the current origin: await page . localStorage . setItem ( 'token' , 'abc' ) ; const token = await page . localStorage . getItem ( 'token' ) ; const items = await page . sessionStorage . items ( ) ; New APIs Network apiResponse.securityDetails() and apiResponse.serverAddr() mirror the browser-side response.securityDetails() and response.serverAddr() . Browser and Screencast New option artifactsDir in browserType.connectOverCDP() controls where artifacts such as traces and downloads are stored when attached to an existing browser.

Test runner The testOptions.video option now supports the same set of modes as trace : new 'on-all-retries' , 'retain-on-first-failure' and 'retain-on-failure-and-retries' values. See the video modes table for which runs are recorded and kept in each mode. Supported expect.soft.poll(...) . New fullConfig.argv — a snapshot of process.argv from the runner process, handy for reading custom arguments passed after the -- separator. New fullConfig.failOnFlakyTests mirrors the config option, so reporters can explain why a flaky run failed. testInfo.errors now lists each sub-error of an AggregateError as a separate entry. New -G command line shorthand for --grep-invert . 🛠️ Other improvements Playwright now supports Ubuntu 26.04. HAR and trace recordings now include WebSocket requests. Browser Versions Chromium 149.0.7827.55 Mozilla Firefox 151.0 WebKit 26.5 This version was also tested against the following stable channels: Google Chrome 149 Microsoft Edge 149
